My basement is split into two parts. Finished and then unfinished which houses the sump pump/hvac etc.
my question is... which part should I place the dehumidifier in. Right now it's in the unfinished part but I feel with the sump in there, it's naturally going to drag that moisture out first. In other words I may be making it work harder than it needs to be.

Thoughts not this? Should I just put it in the finished part and let it do its job there?

Thanks!
 
The sump should sealed or you wasting money.
I think it would be more important to keep the finished area low humidity.
 
2 units might be an energy suck although it is a decent sized basement

I thought about putting it I t he finished partas the unfinished I would assume is naturally more humid and i maybe should only be concerned with keeping the finished part at optimal humidity levels? Idk.

In the unfinished part it runs a lot but assume it would with the sump in there that's covered with only with a plastic lid
