Analyses and comparisons

Before, it was common to install a desiccant dehumidifier in the crawlspace. This solution also works well, but there are several reasons to choose Climacure Crawlspace instead.

The diagram above shows the difference in cost between Climacure Crawlspace and a desiccant dehumidifier. Climacure Crawlspace does the same job as a desiccant dehumidifier, but to less than a third of the cost.

Moreover, Climacure Crawlspace is completely maintenance free. The desiccant dehumidifier demands an annual changing of the filter and often a recalibration of the hygrostat, which costs both time and money.

Efficiency

The diagram compares the efficiency of the desiccant dehumidifier and Climacure Crawlspace. Both are efficient methods when it comes to protecting the crawlspace against damp related damages.

What happens if the power is cut?

Since the ventilators are still open after an installation of Climacure Crawlspace, a possible power failure does not present any immediate danger. There is plenty of time to get the power back on before mould starts to grow.

With a desiccant dehumidifier however, it is urgent, as its principle solely focuses on completely closed air volume and with that, closed ventilators – the moisture cannot evacuate when there is a power failure. Already after a couple of days, the mould may start to grow and the consequence of the power failure can be an extensive renovation.

Energy consumption

The diagram compares the energy consumption of one of the leading desiccant dehumidifiers with Climacure Crawlspace. Climacure Crawlspace is three times more energy efficient and with a thin additional insulation in the crawlspace, more than four times more energy efficient than a traditional desiccant dehumidifier.

With Climacure you have protected your house against damp related damages in the crawlspace for only a few cents a day. This is money that you probably get back when you sell the house, since the risk has decreased for the buyer. The crawlspace can no longer be seen as a risky construction!

If you decide to exchange your existing desiccant dehumidifier for Climacure you will have a positive return on your investment in less than five years. Naturally, the bigger crawlspace you have the more interesting is the energy efficiency. 

Climacure Crawlspace is delivered complete and is set up in a matter of hours, using only a hammer and a screwdriver. The desiccant dehumidifier on the other hand, takes considerably more time to set up and requires specialist knowledge and tools.

Climacure Crawlspace is completely silent, while the desiccant dehumidifier has fans that make noise.

Climacure Crawlspace is delivered with a seven year guarantee.
