When I turned off my bedroom ceiling fan, I noticed that the humidity meter on the Midea dehumidifier I was using in my room rose noticeably. Therefore, I decided to do an experiment to see if ceiling fans actually do help with dehumidifying a room, by recirculating the rising warm air coming from the dehumidifier (destratifying the room). Apparently, when I turned on the Hunter Pacific "Aurora 2" ceiling fan in my bedroom, the hygrometer on the dehumidifier dropped! However, it is said that water vapor is less dense than dry air, which is ironic being that the air from the dehumidifier actually seems to have been RISING! So basically, turning on a ceiling fan while a dehumidifier is running in the room could mean that your dehumidifier has to run less and, saving you money and reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emmisions!

Another way of destratifying a room if you don't have a ceiling fan in the room is to point a portable fan or any other fan at the ceiling to bring down heat, keep cold air accumulating at your feet, otherwise mixing up the stratified air.
