Best Gun Safe Dehumidifier

[TAS]

How do you run power to your safe - - was it wired for power when you bought it?

They didn?t come pre wired or anything. My safes had a knockout at the base of the safe, in the back, that I could run the cords through. They were just big enough for the plugs to fit through.

EvaDry.

Been using 'em for years in two safes.

I use two of these in my safe and if the cheap digital gauge I have in there is correct it stays very close to the ideal 70 degrees/50% humidity range pretty much all year with only few times a year when these numbers might move around a bit. But never even close to matching where it could very well be a problem in there. No rust ever noticed on anything in there.
I write the date of purchase on them and every few years Ill replace them when I see them on sale somewhere.

Looks good, but this operates on AC power. Does your gun safe have a power hook-up? Otherwise, how do you get an electrical cord into your safe?

One of my safes came with an AC power block. The other safes had a hole drilled through the metal, but not the insulation and lining. I completed the hole and ran the wire for an aftermarket AC block with USB outlets. I use USB for a multi sensor that monitors temperature, humidity, vibration, motion, etc. when the dehumidifier is fill and turns off, I have the sensor programmed to text me that the humidity is increasing.

I also run everything on backup power for many reasons.
