Dehumidifier electricity cost in Singapore

Persistent humidity can keep a dehumidifier cycling for many hours, with extraction target, room leakage, and laundry drying driving consumption.

Rate used for the starting scenarioSGD 0.3478/kWh

Use the current GST-inclusive rate from SP Group or the exact retailer plan instead of a historic quarterly tariff.

Billing scopeSingapore

Confidence A 99/100. Effective 2026-07-01 to 2026-09-30.

Live local scenario

Calculate with an editable rate.

Like an air conditioner, a compressor dehumidifier cycles as the target humidity is reached. Damp conditions, room leakage, and set point determine active runtime.

The local calculation

Cost = compressor kW × scheduled hours × duty cycle × tariff

The device model stays global. The currency, tariff scope, validity period, and billing cautions come from the Singapore data layer.

Before trusting the result

Three checks for Singapore

01

Measure compressor duty after the room stabilises.

02

Model laundry-drying sessions separately.

03

Avoid double-counting dehumidification already provided by air conditioning.

Water heater

Instant and storage water heaters have different power profiles, while shower duration and household frequency often matter more than the nameplate alone.
