Dehumidifiers

Why Bother with a Dehumidifier?

It’s a fact that Britain is an exceptionally damp country and while moisture in the air creates a comfortable environment for us, the UK tends to have excessive amounts. This means that most of our homes suffer from condensation which can cause problems, such as mould, to develop over time.

A dehumidifier is the easy solution to this problem, actively removing the excess moisture from the air; resulting in a dryer, warmer and, most importantly, healthier home. Damp air takes longer to heat than dry air, so heating costs can also be reduced.

Will a Dehumidifier Stop Condensation?

Obviously there’s no guarantee that a dehumidifier will completely stop condensation, however, you can be sure that there will a very definite improvement. You will need your dehumidifier most during the winter when ventilation is at a minimum and outside surfaces are at their coldest.

Fact...

Experts advise us that the best environmental conditions both for our bodies and for our belongings, can be found when the relative humidity is between 45% and 55%.

Below 45% the atmosphere becomes unpleasant, our skin becomes dry and can irritate, difficulties in breathing can occur and we become aware of annoying electric shocks caused by static energy.

Above 55% the air becomes damp, and tends to lose its capacity to absorb more moisture, our body perspiration has trouble escaping and clings to our skin. Many respiratory illnesses can be exacerbated by this damp and dust mites and bed bugs which aggravate these respiratory conditions flourish. Rheumatic pains may also be aggravated in cold climates, and our homes start to suffer from damp.
