Efficient basement dehumidification? (lemmy.world)

I have 2 standard freestanding units in my basement and crawlspace running 24/7. I want to get something more energy efficient, will last a while, and that's easy to maintain. I am considering an Aprileaire dehumidifier. Based on this https://www.energystar.gov/productfinder/product/certified-dehumidifiers/results it would appear they have a high efficiency rating. Does anyone have experience with these or recommendations on solutions?

The best way to be energy efficient. Is to fix whatever is constantly causing the humidity. Have you properly encapsulated the space? I've heard great things about Aprileaire. What unit's are you currently using?
