705
Remove Pints A Day
Subcooled 705 Dehumidifier – Supply air is delivered cool during lights-on or warm and dry with lights-off. This split-system dehumidifier removes over 700 pints per day. The Subcooled 705 plugs into a standard 15 amp, 115 volt wall receptacle and connects to a standard 5 ton, R-410a air conditioner condensing unit.
Lights-off humidity control in larger cannabis grow rooms typically require multiple portable dehumidifiers that add heat to space. Supply air is delivered cool during lights-on or warm and dry with lights-off. This split-system dehumidifier removes over 700 pints per day.
Undersizing dehumidifiers results in higher room humidity levels just as an undersized air conditioner delivers high room temperature. Connects to a standard 5 ton, R-410a air conditioner condensing unit. Plugs into a standard 15 amp, 115 volt wall receptacle.
550
Remove Pints A Day
550 pints per day of dehumidification and 3 tons of cooling from one unit. The main air conditioner in your grow room can be up to 50% smaller, since dehumidifier is cooling and not heating the room. Automatically switches from cooling to warmer supply air when lights turn off. Save thousands on initial HVAC cost and reduce monthly electric use.
Side by side supply and return allows the unit to be placed against a wall if desired. Gravity drainage eliminates the need for a trap in the drain line. Connects to a standard 5 ton, R-410a air conditioner condensing unit.
Our Team
Subcooled Air began building heavy-duty dehumidifiers in 2004. Back then sizes ranged from 15 to 60 ton dehumidifiers.
Subcooled Air people have a wide-range of talents that allow us to service the needs of our great customers.
Commercial and industrial temperature and humidity control has been our business for 15 years.

The right product for the commercial grower
Grow room humidity control is frustrating at best. Mold and mildew can grow overnight on product and ruin yields.
In 2015, Subcooled started getting requests from growers looking for a solution. We responded with the Subcooled 705 dehumidifier and believe it is the best dehumidifier for indoor cannabis grow rooms.
The Gulf Coast is hot and humid about seven months a year. Here in the Houston area, it’s a perfect place to test these commercial grade dehumidifiers because of the high relative humidity. When we arrive at work in the morning, the outdoor temperature is 75 degrees F with 90% relative humidity.
A Subcooled 705 built without reheat is turned-on in our main shop and humidity drops below 50%. Our workers love it! They work in a “No Sweat” environment. The Subcooled 705 does the same thing for indoor grow rooms.
Our
founder
In 1980, with a degree in Mechanical Engineering under his belt, Tom Dillon went to work for Union Oil Company of California (76). Oil prices fell to $10 a barrel in 1999 and a new career path was needed. He studied for and received a Professional Engineering license in Mechanical Engineering in 2000. These credentials allowed Tom to work as a National Temperature Control Engineer for a global equipment rental company.
The industrial rental market lacked high capacity refrigerant-based dehumidifiers for hot, humid applications. This bore development of a 30 ton Subcooled dehumidifier in 2004. Humid summer air could now be reliably dried to 40 degree F dewpoint and supplied either cool or warm to industrial applications and processes. The same technology is used on a smaller scale for the cannabis grow room with the Subcooled 705 dehumidifier.
Subcooled Air Timeline
-
2014: 5 ton industrial dehumidifier for rental companies
Our first 5 ton industrial dehumidifier was built for rental companies in 2014. It fit in the bed of a truck and was delivered to temporary humidity control projects.
Calls began coming in from commercial Washington growers for help with grow room humidity control.
-
2015: Introduction of Subcooled 705 (private labeled as Climadry 705)
Cannabis growers wanted a lighter, smaller unit designed for their marijuana grow rooms. Under private label, the Climadry 705 was released in 2015.
-
2016: Widespread support from commercial indoor grower community
Greenhouse operators and northern cannabis growers wanted heat, so we came back full circle to the original look, but designed for humidity control plus heat.
-
2017: Focus on customer service delivers repeat business
Full time customer support on sizing and installation options brought customers back for new projects. Reliable and simple operation.
-
2018: Focus on energy delivers hybrid dehumidifier
Energy costs of growing can now be decreased substantially with the introduction of the Subcooled 550 Hybrid Dehumidifier. Maximizing HVAC efficiency requires minimizing heat load in the indoor grow room. Hybrid dehumidification reduces overall heat load by up to 50%.
