Would dehumidifer consume more electricity?

I have been moving to HK side for 1 month. The electric bill last month was HKD600+ but we used the air con for less than 10 hours. The month before when I still lived at Kowloon side the bill was below $300. A friend told me that the astonishing bill is because of two reasons:
1. Two different electricity companies. CLP Power has a better rate.
2. Dehumidifier consumes a lot of electricity, much more than air con. Since the place I live now is very humid, I have to turn on two humidifiers more than 16 hours a day.

If this is the case, I would use more air-con to dehumidify at nite rather than turn on the air-con. Any one of you have any comment on this?

Many thanks.

香港區電費是較貴. 上幾個月我試用抽濕機乾衣, 開足全日, 後來收到電費單超過1千元, 通常3xx元, 我向港燈投訴, 再查錶, 最後更正為2xx元, 還少過以前, 跟著幾個月都是差不多, 今個月開冷氣機才5xx元. 所以應該冷氣機比抽濕機用電多. 你可以找港燈查過電錶.

Re: Would dehumidifer consume more electricity?

Thanks Garfield for your reply. I just called The HK Electric Co and found out that the dehumidifiers I am using are consuming 1 unit of electricity every 1.5 hours. If I turned them on for 20+ hours a day, it means almost 400 units per month, that is almost HKD400. Wah, what a bill!

Actually the spokesman of HK Electric Co said their bill was only a few % higher than China Light because of their 6-level range of rating and China Light's 5-level range.
