What I like about the Aprilaire 1750:

The Apirlaire 1750 is Aprilaire’s most popular model. The color has been changed from beige to light blue, and it has an LED status indicator that lets you know when the unit is running, sampling, defrosting, or in need of service. This dehumidifier is built to integrate into your homes’ HVAC system and requires some installation with ducting work. The dehumidifier comes with built-in duct collars to easily attach to your HVAC system.

It has a built in air cycling feature which will trigger the blower in your HVAC system to turn on. This feature is helpful to balance the humidity of the air throughout the entire home. Lastly, this unit has something I have never seen on any other dehumidifier--it has the ability to pull in air from the outside using its patented built in ventilation feature. The dehumidifier will dehumidify the incoming air from outside as it enters the home.

Aprilaire offers an accessory called the Living Space Control which can be used with this dehumidifier to monitor and control moisture in a specific location. This accessory looks like a thermostat on a normal HVAC.

What I do not like about the Aprilaire 1750:

As with all Aprilaire dehumidifiers, I wish it had a hygrometer on board rather than just a 15 position turn knob. This model does not come with wheels. It can be converted into a free standing unit in the event you need to dehumidify an isolated area.

In summary, if I was going to attach a dehumidifier to my HVAC system, I would purchase this unit. Could I do the installation myself? Probably, but I would also consider having an HVAC professional come out and hook it up for me.
