Key Features and Benefits of the Honeywell Energy Star A65D Dehumidifier

• Energy Star Certified: Reduces costs operating at 2.23 liters per kilowatt hour to meet strict U.S. EPA efficiency requirements, and is the only 65 PPD Energy Star certified dehumidifier currently available.
• Powerful Moisture Removal: Removes up to 65 pints of moisture per day, deterring mold, mildew, and structural damage in homes.
• Whole-House Dehumidification: Connect this Energy Star whole-home dehumidifier using 8-inch round ducting to integrate into your HVAC system.
• Simple Controls: The onboard digital controller provides a simple hub to view dehumidifier status and alerts, track operational history, and adjust target humidity range. Place the onboard controller anywhere on the dehumidifier with its tethered and magnetic mounting options.
• Water Leak Detection: This feature automatically shuts down the dehumidifier when a leak is detected by the L-series water leak detector cable to ensure nothing goes wrong or is damaged while in operation.
• Intuitive Sensors: Continuously track the A65D's system performance using its intuitive internal and external sensors that provide operational history tracking and real-time diagnostics for servicing and maintenance.
• MERV 8 Filtration: The 12 x 12 x 1-inch MERV 8 filter captures common airborne particles before they settle into the dehumidifier or are recirculated back into your air system.
• Simple Service Design: The modular wiring design allows HVAC professionals to easily replace core components like fans, sensors, and refrigeration parts without replacing the entire cabinet, minimizing service costs and downtime in an occupied home.
• Rugged Construction: The 20-gauge galvanized steel powder-coated cabinet undergoes rigorous lifecycle testing for dependable performance in basements, mechanical rooms, or crawl spaces that reach temperatures down to 34 degrees F and up to 130 degrees F.

Ducted or Standalone Installation

The A65D supports ducted, standalone, or dedicated-return configurations. Its tri-directional outlet lets you configure a side, top, or vertical discharge so supply ductwork easily aligns with existing air systems in tight closets, attic platforms, or basement rafters. The compact 1.63 x 12.75 x 12.78-inch footprint of the dehumidifier leaves room for other mechanical components when installed in a tight attic or utility room. Both the electrical and condensate drain connections are grouped on one side, allowing easy access for service technicians to complete hook-ups without contending with awkward clearances.
