Whether you’re managing humidity in subfloors, grow rooms, basements, or residential spaces, our dehumidifiers ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Ecor Pro models proudly utilise the environmentally friendly R290 refrigerant, a cutting-edge solution with a minimal Global Warming Potential (GWP). Unlike outdated R410A refrigerant, which will no longer be supported in Australia from 2025 to its high environmental impact, R290 ensures superior performance, energy efficiency, and compliance with the latest regulations. With future plans to expand this collection, we’re currently focusing on Ecor Pro’s exceptional lineup, which caters to various needs through advanced technology and innovative design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMAKE SURE YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER USES THE NEW R290 REFRIGERANT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eUse Cases for Dehumidifiers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubfloors\u003c\/b\u003e: Combat moisture buildup in subfloors to protect your home from mould, mildew, and structural damage.
