RH level for turning off dehumidifer and how long it can run for
What level of relative humdity signifies that it's time to turn off my dehumidifer?

I could be wrong in assuming it would overheat after a certain period of time. Just looking for some clarity on these two areas. Thanks!

How long do solar panels take to pay for themselves?
