Default any1 thought about putting a dehumidifier in the garage

would a dehumidifier be a good idea to put in the garage with my car?
they basicly take the water out the air.

Only if you are a multi-millionaire to afford the electricity bill. De-humidifiers drain a lot of electricity. Used to have one in the god-parents garage as they have eight 1910-1930 motorbikes stored there and pre-fab garages tend to generate a lot of condensation. After the first quarter, their electricity bill came in something like Ł150 over what it normally was.

Suffice to say, it now runs on a timer for an hour or so a day just to keep the worst condensation away.
