As you have probably noticed, the humidity levels have been up and down all week, with several nights being particularly uncomfortable. This is down to the humidity levels, and the amount of moisture in the air. Most of us wish for a good thunder storm to clear the air during these hot times, but there is another option. All week we have been inundated for further information on dehumidifiers, and how they can help throughout the year. So we’ve put together some details to help you along the way.
During the hot summer periods, if you feel that the temperature is hot and sticky, a dehumidifier may be for you. If you also regularly see condensation on your windows, or damp and mould spots in the corners of cold or little used rooms, the air in your home probably contains excess moisture. If you don’t do anything about it, this moisture can damage your carpets, curtains, furniture and even your walls. You need a dehumidifier to remove this excess moisture before it becomes a serious problem.
A dehumidifier works like a small fridge, making it the coldest place in the house. Air is drawn into the cold dehumidifier where any moisture in the air condenses into water, and is collected on the easy pour container.
90% of homes can produce 3- 5 pints per day, but every home is different. You will soon know if your dehumidifier is working effectively as condensation will start to disappear and your home will feel much drier and healthier.
At the moment, the weather and climate is playing a big part towards the humidity levels in your own home, but the list is virtually endless; running a shower or bath, boiling a kettle, cooking a meal, doing the dishes and drying laundry all increase the level of moisture in your home. Even something as simple as breathing can add to the problem creating condensation and damp!
An added bonus of using a dehumidifier is that you may find your washing dries quicker with it in your home, which is a great benefit in winter, or if you live in an apartment that has no outside drying space.
We hope that helps a little and gives you a better idea about the uses of dehumidifiers. If you do need any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our number is 0800 0325615, or email one of the sales team, sales@onefruit.co.uk.
