Well FWIW mine is about twice that. I guess you take your chances, but remember, those Home Depot or Lowes are for residential use, generally they are not built as strong as the commercial units. When I turn mine on, it acutally takes 10-15 minutes before it starts. It actually tests the humidity in the air, and depending on the setting will determine if it goes on or not. I actually have mine draining into a sump pump.
