    Oversizing a dehumidifier is not an issue. They have a humidistat control and will shut off when not needed.

    Just buy an Energy Star rated dehumidifier to limit your electricity costs.

    Over-sizing will have some effect on efficiency. So I'd buy a smaller one if it has the same efficiency rating.
