SG is saying Hud’s allowable is $250.00 less discount.
At that price SG makes more on their discount than I make installing the thing.
Anyone know of a place online to order them cheap?
I have been getting them from MFS, and after I add shipping, sales tax, and install cost I'm in the hole. Hud seems to be approving dehumidifiers on every property now. They don't seem to care that these will all be junk by spring from freezing as they don't want to turn on the heat.
I fought this fight 6 months ago when HUD rolled out their price for dehumdifiers. It work like this... Purchase one 45 pint $190 (home depot) tax included, deliver one and place one $50(does not include drain hose), profiit, O/H & discount 45% I came up with $350+/-RichR said:Does anyone know how much HUD is paying for Dehumidifiers?

LOL, I like that.JFMURFY said:for $250 they get 3-4 moisture absorbtion bags hung in a closet...
That's a smart way to look at it... piece it all together an maybe they'll get around to paying worth it's worth to install the dam things.RichR said:I have also stopped putting the drain hoses on. I now state in my bid that it is not self draining dehumidifier and that constant monitoring is required. I then place a seperate bid for $50.00 to "Convert Dehumidifier to Self Draining" which includes drain hose and a medium duty extension code if needed to make unit drain into floor drain or sump pump. Have yet to get one of these approved yet.
