third coast if you have an ac with a dry setting which means in dehumidify's at the same time it cools than you dont need to run the dehue when the lights are on. thats why i love the lg units
Don't feel bad ThirdCoast, my dehuey also runs at lights on. Not all the time but more often then not. In that room I once had a 9k btu mini split and then a 12k btu mini split. With either size the dehumidifier still kicks on during lights on. Of course though this happens more in the winter when theirs less overall heat. During the summer (mind you I'm in Florida) the AC runs enough that the dehuey usually only kicks on when the heat signal disappears, lights out.
So...Your AC is properly size brother. It was a long time ago under a different handle that I suggested to you a 24k btu for 4k lights

Here's the answer you were looking for. I do the following and it works like a charm. You need to get a 6" inch register piece like in the floor to your house. The ones that are rectangle on one end and a 6" pipe on the other end. The rectangle end should fit right over where the warm air comes out of the dehuey, use duct tape to hold in place. While your picking up the register duct, pick up one of those cheap 6" inline fans(Home De-Pot). Attach ductwork which they also sell there, and put the fan on the end outside of the room to give the hot air leaving a little boost. I did this at a grow I had, and used the air to heat a flower room that was in the dark period-so I know it will move that warm air. Trust me it works and is a relatively cheap fix.

damn if this is really possible i cant believe a company hasnt made a unit thats made to exhaust the heat. frankenstein everything you said is too confusing i dont really understand how to do this. im not good at this type of stuff thanks anyway though

lol i know that i just dont know what he wanted to say about it. i was already told that the frigidaire has the thermostat where the fan turns off
Before you buy a dehum, check this recall list
http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2013/Gree-Recalls-12-Brands-of-Dehumidifiers/
I run sealed, AC, dehum, CO2. I set the thermostat on the AC where I want it, set the humidistat on the dehum at the level I want the rh to be kept, 24/7, and don't worry about it. I get no spikes. That's what thermostats and humidistats are for. If cooling or dehumidification are not needed, they don't kick on. re: thermostats, humidistats.
My AC dehumidifies some, but doesn't do the entire job. I want to make sure I don't end up with Botritis so keeping the rh at 45-50ish during bloom, 24-7, is just the cost of doing business, the cost of peace of mind, and not having to screw with stuff all the time. Good luck. Granger

appreciate the link. theres been no problems with the frigidaires since 2008 so i think im good. they also have the best reviews online
thats def the right way to do things but if you were able to exhaust the hot air from the dehu than you would save money on electricity cause the ac would be on less. i know it cant be done now but i just wanted to check thats why i started this thread. also the more you have the ac on the more attention it causes. it like it if most of the time i can run it 12 hours a day instead of 24. it is what it is though
Tree King,
The date on the list I provided is (Oct. 30, 2013). Here's a good place to shop because of the great info they provide.

Good prices, free shipping, but Amazon or elsewhere may be cheaper. Good luck. -granger

Hey E/P, thought that was you, was going to wait till you hit 50 posts to hit ya up. Good to see you still around.
My AC seems to run pretty constant so I may just be wasting juice having the dehuey run during the day. Then again the AC may be running constantly cause the heat from the dehuey lol.
Will do.

The portable AC/dehumidifier/heater I have when running in dehumidifier mode cools the air a degree or two, its definitely different than a AC set to dry mode,that still kicks out a lot of cold air. If your looking for a dehumidifier thats not going to heat up your room(or cool it much) then definitely look into multi function dual duct portable AC/dehumidifier/heaters. Mines rated at 60 pints a day.

is there a thermostat to set it to the exact humidity you want on this unit? if not how does it work exactly? can anyone else co sign this?
To answer the original question, yes, dehueys are duct-able.
Santa Fe has seven models that are.
