AprilAire E070: The Right Size for Most Crawl Spaces
After a crawl space is encapsulated, humidity has to be actively controlled or the sealed space can get damper than before. The E070 is the model we install most: enough capacity for typical single-family crawl spaces, compact enough for low clearances, and fully automatic.

Why Crawl Spaces Need Dehumidifiers
Wood stays healthy below about 60% relative humidity. Above that, mold and rot organisms thrive, and musty air rises into the living space. The E070 holds your chosen setting automatically and drains continuously, so there’s no bucket to empty.
Pair It With Encapsulation
For the best results, install it with a 20-mil liner and sealed vents. See crawl space dehumidifier installation and encapsulation.
