Protect your home from excess moisture with Santa Fe dehumidifiers, trusted for crawl space, basement, and whole-house humidity control. Proudly made in the USA, Santa Fe units deliver unmatched performance, durability, and energy efficiency—making them the top choice for homeowners seeking long-lasting moisture protection and better indoor air quality.

A Santa Fe dehumidifier is a heavy-duty appliance built to remove excess moisture from basements, crawl spaces, and whole homes. It uses industrial-grade components designed for continuous, long-term operation rather than the lighter-duty build of a typical portable unit.
These systems work by drawing humid indoor air across a cold evaporator coil. Moisture in the air condenses into water, which is routed through a drain, while the drier air is returned to the space. Depending on the model, controls such as a built-in humidistat or external humidity controller allow the unit to cycle as needed to maintain the selected humidity level.


Santa Fe dehumidifiers are designed to address several problems caused by excess indoor moisture, including poor air quality, mold growth, and odors.
Moisture Control: Santa Fe units remove anywhere from 37 to 125 pints of water per day depending on the model, giving them enough capacity to handle serious moisture problems and help keep damp areas dry. Santa Fe's range runs from 37 pints per day on the UltraMD33 up to 125 pints per day on the Ultra V125, so capacity needs should be matched to both space size and moisture severity.
Odor Reduction: By pulling excess moisture out of the air, these units reduce the musty smell that develops when mold and mildew have enough humidity to grow, usually when relative humidity levels exceed 60%. This matters most in enclosed spaces like crawl spaces and basements, where odor tends to work its way up into the living areas above.
Condensation Control: High indoor humidity can cause condensation to collect on surfaces and contribute to moisture-related damage. Lowering relative humidity using a Santa Fe dehumidifier reduces the water vapor that condenses on cold surfaces like pipes, ductwork, and foundation walls. This helps protect building materials that would otherwise stay damp for extended periods.
Mold Prevention: Keeping humidity in a healthy range, below 60%, denies mold and mildew the moisture they need to grow. Santa Fe's higher-capacity models are built specifically to reach and hold that target humidity even in larger or more persistently damp spaces. This keeps your home and family healthier.
Air Filtration: Many Santa Fe models include MERV-13 filtration in addition to moisture removal. For example, the Ultra70, Ultra V100, Oasis105, Ultra V125, Compact70, and Classic have MERV-13 filtration available or included, helping capture fine airborne particles as air moves through the system. Compared to MERV-6 or -8 filters that only catch larger airborne particles, such as dust, MERV-13 filters are designed to capture 85% to 90% of smaller microscopic particles, such as bacteria and virus carriers.
Humidity Management: With a built-in digital humidistat, some Santa Fe units can be set to a target humidity level and will cycle on and off automatically to maintain it. The Oasis105 includes a built-in digital humidistat, while models such as the Ultra70 can work with a compatible remote humidity controller. There’s no need for manual adjustment.
Because different models provide different moisture-removal capacities and features, they can provide anything from localized humidity control in a single space to centralized whole-home dehumidification. Some models also include flexible installation options such as standalone or ducted options.
Santa Fe offers several configurations for different areas of a home, including low-profile crawl-space equipment, basement models, ducted whole-home systems, and an in-wall option for finished living spaces. When choosing a dehumidifier, you should consider not only the pints per day of moisture it can remove, but the physical space you are installing it in as well.
Crawl Spaces: Below-ground and tightly sealed, crawlspaces are prone to moisture accumulation that can cause structural damage to your home. Santa Fe's Compact70 is purpose-built for crawl spaces, standing just 12 inches tall so it fits between floor joists in tight clearance areas. It's rated for temperatures as low as 49°F, which matters given how cold crawl spaces can get. It covers spaces up to 2,600 square feet.
Basements: Models like the Classic, which removes 110 pints of moisture per day, are built to handle the larger volume and often persistent dampness typical of basements. Basements with a history of standing water or flooding especially benefit from this higher capacity, though dehumidifiers are designed to remove moisture from the air, not a pool of water on the ground.
Whole Homes: Ducted whole-house models like the Ultra V100, Ultra V125, and Ultra V155 tie into HVAC or dedicated ductwork to manage humidity across multiple rooms or an entire home at once. These models provide progressively higher capacities for different home sizes and moisture loads. You should invest in a dehumidifier for your entire house when your indoor relative humidity consistently stays above 50%, especially if your central air conditioner cannot remove enough moisture during humid weather, or if you notice mold, musty odors, and condensation across multiple rooms.
Attics: Santa Fe's ducted options can extend into attic spaces when properly connected, helping control the humidity that contributes to condensation on roof sheathing and insulation. HVACDirect.com also offers a Santa Fe-compatible hang kit designed to support horizontal dehumidifiers in elevated installations, including attic applications, although you may need a condensate pump if moisture can’t drain by gravity.
Garages: The same portability and durability that make the Compact70 suited for crawl spaces also make it a practical option for garages, where humidity and temperature swings can otherwise damage stored tools or vehicles. The Oasis105, Classic, and Ultra V125 also work well in garages and workshops.
Apartments: Smaller living spaces may benefit from a compact, in-wall option such as the UltraMD33. It installs within a wall, covers up to approximately 1,500 square feet, and operates at 46 decibels, making it better suited to occupied living spaces than a large floor-standing basement unit.
Before selecting a model, confirm that the installation area has enough clearance, access to a suitable drain, and operating temperatures that fall within the dehumidifier’s rated operating range.
The right Santa Fe model depends less on your home's overall square footage and more on where the moisture problem is located, whether that's a crawl space, a single basement, or air circulating through your whole HVAC system. Here are some models to consider:
Santa Fe Compact70: Built specifically for crawl spaces, the Compact70 stands just 12 inches tall so it fits between floor joists in tight-clearance areas. It removes up to 70 pints of moisture per day and is rated to operate in temperatures as low as 49°F.
Santa Fe UltraMD33: This in-wall model mounts directly into the wall and drains straight into existing plumbing, making it a strong fit for apartments, condos, or finished spaces where floor space is limited. It's a hardwired 120V unit rather than a standard plug-in appliance.
Santa Fe Ultra70, Ultra V100, and Ultra V125: These ducted whole-house ventilating models connect to existing HVAC ductwork to manage humidity across multiple rooms, with capacities ranging from 70 to 125 pints per day depending on the model. They're the right choice when humidity problems extend beyond a single space and need centralized control.
Santa Fe Oasis105: With horizontal airflow built for overhead mounting, the Oasis105 keeps floor space clear in basements or utility areas while removing over 100 pints of moisture per day. It's also Energy Star certified, making it one of the more efficient options in Santa Fe's lineup.
Santa Fe Classic: The Classic removes 110 pints of moisture per day as a standalone unit, giving it enough capacity to manage the larger air volume typical of basements. It's one of Santa Fe's most popular models for homeowners who don't need a ducted whole-house solution.
Ducted models like the Ultra Series require enough existing or plannable ductwork to actually distribute air, so it's worth confirming that setup with a professional before choosing one over a standalone unit.
Each different Santa Fe model removes a different amount of moisture, measured in pints per day, ranging from 37 to 125 pints. Pint per day ratings tell you how much moisture a unit can pull from the air under standard lab conditions, typically 80°F and 60% relative humidity, so actual performance in your space will vary based on temperature, humidity, and how well-sealed the area is.
37 Pint Units: The Santa Fe UltraMD33 Dehumidifier removes up to 37 pints, or about 4.6 gallons, of moisture per day and covers roughly 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. This makes it a better match for smaller residential spaces than full basements or whole homes. Temperature has a real impact on performance, with capacity dropping from 37 pints at 80°F to about 22 pints at 73°F.
70 Pint Units: Removing close to 8.75 gallons daily, this size covers tighter, harder-to-reach spaces with consistent dampness better than large open areas. The Compact70 is rated for crawl spaces between roughly 2,200 and 2,600 square feet depending on sealing, and its 70-pint rating at 80°F falls to about 43.7 pints at 65°F.
100 Pint Units: This capacity suits larger residential moisture loads and whole-home applications, generally supporting spaces around 2,000 to 2,500 square feet depending on conditions. A 100-pint unit can remove up to about 12.5 gallons of moisture per day under rated conditions, although actual removal decreases as temperature and humidity fall. The Ultra V100 is an example of a whole-home unit in this capacity range.
105 Pint Units: Built for larger or more moisture-prone basements and living spaces, the current Oasis105 is rated at 102 pints (12.75 gallons) a day at 80°F, covering up to about 3,300 square feet in a tightly sealed crawl space or 2,500 to 3,000 square feet in a basement. That output falls to around 67 pints at 65°F.
110 Pint Units: The Santa Fe Classic Dehumidifier removes up to 110 pints, or about 13.75 gallons, of moisture per day and can handle heavier humidity loads in basements up to roughly 3,500 square feet, depending on how well the space is sealed. Cooler operating conditions reduce actual moisture removal, with capacity falling to around 70 pints per day at 65°F.
125 Pint Units: The Santa Fe Ultra V125 Dehumidifier removes up to 125 pints, or about 15.5 gallons, of moisture per day and can serve whole-home applications up to roughly 3,500 square feet. Its rated 125-pint capacity at 80°F drops to about 101 pints per day at 73°F as operating temperatures decrease.
Since every rating on this list assumes near-ideal lab conditions, the more realistic planning number is often the cooler-temperature figure, not the pint rating on the box.
The features that matter most on a Santa Fe unit go beyond raw pint capacity, covering air quality, control, efficiency, and how the unit is built to hold up over years of continuous use. Weighing these alongside pint capacity and space size gives a fuller picture of which model actually fits your needs, not just on day one but over the life of the unit.
MERV-13 Filtration Traps Fine Airborne Particles: This traps fine airborne particles as air passes through the unit, adding an air quality benefit alongside standard moisture removal. It's especially useful in unfinished basements and crawl spaces where dust tends to accumulate. It’s an upgrade from standard filters, capturing 85% to 90% of smaller, down to 0.3 micron, particles.
Automatic Humidity Control Maintains Your Set Level: A built-in digital humidistat lets you select a target humidity level, then automatically cycles the dehumidifier on and off as needed to maintain it. This helps prevent excess runtime while keeping indoor humidity more consistent without repeated manual adjustments.
Ducted Options Integrate with Existing HVAC: Models like the Ultra V100, Ultra V125, and Ultra V155 can be installed with ductwork to extend humidity control across multiple rooms or an entire home. This is useful when dampness affects several areas rather than one isolated space.
Energy-Efficient Design Lowers Operating Costs: Several Santa Fe models, including the Ultra V100 and Compact70, carry Energy Star certification and deliver strong pint-per-kWh efficiency compared to standard portable units. Lower energy use adds up meaningfully for units designed to run continuously and can potentially lower your energy bills. They may also qualify for local and state rebates.
R454B Refrigerant Supports Eco-Friendly Operation: Santa Fe's current lineup uses R454B refrigerant, which supports more eco-friendly operation compared to older refrigerant types. This also keeps units aligned with tightening refrigerant regulations that may come in the future.
USA-Made Construction: Santa Fe units are engineered and assembled at the company's headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin, using heavy-duty steel and durable components built for tough environments. That build quality is part of why Santa Fe backs its units with a 6-year limited warranty.
Since features like ducted integration and MERV-13 filtration aren't standard across every model, it's worth checking the spec sheet for the specific unit you're considering rather than assuming the full feature set applies across Santa Fe's entire lineup.
Installation space, drainage, duct configuration, and warranty coverage can all affect whether a particular model works for your needs and should be factored into your buying decision. Capacity alone should not determine which Santa Fe dehumidifier you purchase.
Coverage Area: Santa Fe’s dehumidifiers can typically cover anywhere from 1,000 to 3,500 square feet, depending on the model. You should match a unit's rated capacity to your space's actual square footage, keeping in mind that larger or more persistently damp areas need higher-capacity units. Try to avoid oversizing or undersizing the unit as it can cause the unit to run too often and overdry the space or not run enough and leave moisture standing.
Warranty Coverage: Warranty terms vary by Santa Fe model. They usually are either 5-year complete/6-year component coverage on several models or a 5-year limited warranty on others.
Pint Capacity: Santa Fe's range runs from 70 pints per day on the Compact70 up to 125 pints per day on the Ultra V125, so capacity needs should be matched to both space size and moisture severity. If you have a space, such as a basement, with a history of flooding, it may need more capacity than one that's just occasionally damp.
Installation Clearance: Standalone units like the Compact70 need enough surrounding clearance for airflow, while in-wall models like the UltraMD33 need adequate wall cavity space instead. Check the specific model’s specifications before installing.
Drain Access: Santa Fe units are designed for continuous operation, which means they need a reliable drain connection, whether that's a gravity drain, a condensate pump, or direct plumbing tie-in for in-wall models. HVACDirect.com offers a condensate pump kit compatible with most models that can move collected water vertically or to a more distant drain location.
Duct Compatibility: Models designed for ducted use have specific collar sizes that must fit the planned duct system. For example, the Ultra70 uses 8-inch round duct connections, while larger Ultra V Series whole-home models may use different inlet and outlet sizes depending on the configuration. HVACDirect.com sells duct transitions that can help connect ductwork if the sizing and shape don’t match.
Since a licensed HVAC professional will need to confirm most of these factors anyway, from ductwork sizing to drain placement, it's worth having that conversation before finalizing a model rather than after the unit has already arrived. HVACDirect.com’s tech team can help you choose the right unit for your space.
In total, a dehumidifier can cost anywhere from $1,600 to $4,000+, depending a lot on if you purchase a standalone unit or a whole-home one that needs ductwork installed. Here’s a breakdown of some costs to expect:
Unit Price: Santa Fe units on HVACDirect.com generally cost around $1,600 and up depending on capacity and configuration. Whole-house Ultra V Series models generally cost more than standalone crawl-space or basement units because of their higher capacity, controls, and ducted installation capabilities.
Installation Costs: $0 to $2,000, depending on whether you have a standalone or ducted unit and local labor rates. Standalone units like the Compact70 typically need just a power outlet and drain hose, keeping installation minimal. Ducted whole-house models such as the Ultra V100, Ultra V125, or Ultra V155 are more involved because they must be connected to a properly designed duct system, which can add labor costs beyond the equipment price itself.
Accessory Costs: Optional accessories like condensate pumps, hanging kits, or MERV-13 replacement filters add anywhere from $20 to $200 to the overall cost depending on the specific installation.
Energy Usage: Energy costs typically range from $0.80 to $1.20 per day if running continuously at an average electricity rate of $0.17 per kilowatt. Depending on how much electricity the unit requires and local energy rates, monthly energy costs typically range from $30 to $90.
You may also incur permit costs, especially when you need to make structural changes to your home to install the unit or have electrical work done. Permits typically cost $50 to $200, depending on your local municipality.

The right model depends primarily on the space, moisture load, coverage area, and installation style. A crawl space or small basement generally does well with the Compact70, while a larger basement may benefit from the Classic and a whole-home humidity issue may call for an Ultra V100, Ultra V125, or Ultra V155 depending on the required capacity.
Sizing a Santa Fe dehumidifier starts with the amount of moisture the unit can remove per day and the size of the area it needs to serve. Higher-capacity units are better suited to larger or more persistently damp spaces, while smaller-capacity models are typically sufficient for compact or better-sealed areas. The Compact70 is designed for low-clearance crawl spaces, the Oasis105 works well for larger basements and crawl spaces, the UltraMD33 provides in-wall humidity control, and the Ultra V125 provides a whole-home option.

Santa Fe units are built with heavier-duty steel construction and industrial-grade compressors designed for continuous operation, unlike many portable dehumidifiers that use plastic housing and lighter-duty components. They are also made right here in the United States, and most units are Energy Star certified.
Yes, the Classic is one of Santa Fe's most popular basement models, removing 110 pints of moisture per day, enough capacity to manage the larger air volume and persistent humidity typical of basements. It's a strong fit for basements with ongoing dampness rather than just occasional humidity.
The Compact70 is purpose-built for crawl spaces, standing just 12 inches tall to fit between floor joists in low-clearance areas. It removes up to 70 pints per day and is rated to operate in temperatures as low as 49°F, which matters given how cold crawl spaces tend to run.
Santa Fe recommends checking and replacing certain filters, including MERV-13 filters on equipped models, every 3 to 6 months. Units in dustier environments, like unfinished basements or crawl spaces, may need more frequent filter checks.
Most of the Santa Fe units come with a 5-year complete and 6-year component warranty. There are a few that just have a 5-year limited warranty instead. You should register your product online via the Santa Fe Warranty Registration page for streamlined support.
Yes, though the specific temperature range varies by model. The Compact70, for example, is rated to operate in temperatures as low as 49°F, making it suitable for cold crawl spaces and basements during winter months.
Noise levels vary by model and cabinet design, generally falling somewhere between 50 and 60 dBA depending on the unit's size and capacity. Larger, higher-capacity models tend to run louder than smaller crawl space units like the Compact70.
Standalone units like the Compact70 generally don't require professional installation, needing just a suitable power outlet and drain connection. Ducted whole-house models like the Ultra V100 or Ultra V125, along with in-wall units like the UltraMD33, are best installed by a professional given the electrical, drainage, wall-opening, or ductwork requirements involved.
