If choosing the best time of day to run your dehumidifier is becoming a dilemma, rest assured: making the most of your dehumidifier actually doesn’t have all that much to do with the time of day or night.

Depending on who you ask (or which article you happen to read online), you’ll hear arguments for or against running it during the day or at night. Some people claim that running a dehumidifier at night poses safety risks, while other will tell you that running it during the day is pretty much useful because humidity levels are lower.
