Placement Notes
How This Recommendation Works
- Primary drivers are airflow connectivity (doors), basement inclusion, and the number of hotspots.
- Capacity is expressed as a range, because real performance depends on temperature and infiltration.
- If you need continuous drainage, check your drain options before choosing placement.
Typical Layout Scenarios
- Open plan home: One larger unit often works when airflow is continuous across rooms.
- Closed-bedroom layout: Two medium units can deliver steadier comfort and lower nighttime noise.
- Basement plus upper floor: Split zones usually outperform one central unit because moisture load differs by level.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is one big unit always cheaper? Not always. If doors stay closed, one oversized unit can run longer without balancing humidity in remote rooms.
- When should I choose two units? Choose two when you have isolated rooms, basement hotspots, or different comfort/noise needs by zone.
- How do I confirm the plan? Track RH in each zone for 5–7 days and adjust placement or capacity if one area remains above target.
