The Highest Efficiency: The Ultra98 is more energy-efficient than previous models. It removes 98 pints of moisture while drawing 5.9 amps and maintaining a 2.95 energy factor. Additionally, this model has received an Energy Star rating for its performance. With these specifications, the 98H is now considered the most energy-efficient 90-100-pint dehumidifier on the market.
Small Cabinet Design: At 19.5 in. H, 14.5 in. W, and 32.375 in. D, the 98H is compact enough to match multiple installations. The outer housing also now features rounded edging.
Trusted Design: Santa Fe is a trusted name in air quality and dehumidification. This American-made product has a 6-year warranty.
Whole Home Dehumidifying: The Ultra98 Dehumidifier ties directly into your home's ductwork to reduce humidity. It’s rated to remove 98 pints of damaging moisture daily in AHAM conditions (80 degrees F, 60 percent relative humidity) and is designed to service up to 2,300 square feet. Popular installation options include a basement, crawl space, attic, closet, or mechanical room.
Low-Clearance, Ultra-Quiet Design for Maximum Flexibility. Designed with innovation in mind, this dehumidifier is built to fit seamlessly into low-clearance spaces where traditional models might not work. Its versatile outer cabinet allows for easy airflow conversion, giving you the option to discharge air either vertically or horizontally with just a few simple adjustments. This makes installation more adaptable, even in tight or challenging areas. Unlike bulkier units that struggle with ducting limitations, size constraints, or tricky maintenance access, this model is engineered to work where others can’t. It also features an ultra-quiet operation, thanks to a well-insulated cabinet and an advanced impeller system that significantly reduces noise—providing powerful moisture control without disruption.
Quiet Operation: Santa Fe product engineers added insulation inside the dehumidifier cabinet and a low-noise impeller to further reduce operating noise.
R454B Refrigerant: The Ultra98 now uses R454B refrigerant, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally safe than previous formulations.
Includes Transformer Protection: The 98H has a 24-volt reset button to prevent damage to your 24-volt transformer if low-voltage wires are crossed.
Low-Temperature Operation: The 98H dehumidifier operates in temperatures as low as 49 degrees F and includes an auto defrost function to melt frost build-up in chilly conditions automatically.
Long Power Cord: This unit has a 9-foot power cord, which helps make installation options more flexible.
