The recommended humidity for your home is 40-60 per cent in the summer months and between 30-50 per cent in the winter. You can measure it with a hygrometer (a humidity gauge - they’re not expensive). If it goes over 70 per cent, you run the risk of condensation, damp, mould, fungi and bacteria. That’s when you need a dehumidifier. Which is better, a compressor or desiccant dehumidifier? Airconcentre.co.uk is the UK’s leading online retailer of both compressor and desiccant dehumidifiers and has the most comprehensive range of products designed to meet domestic, commercial, and specialist requirements for use in places such as on boats, caravans, garages, swimming pools, conservatories and more. Your Dehumidifier works properly and protects your home from an accident even when you are gone! The tank management system stops working when the container is full. If there’s a problem room, the dehumidifier should be kept in there, preferably with doors and windows closed,” says Chris Wood, also from Aircon Centre. “If it is to be used to control the moisture for the whole house, however, then it should be located centrally, on a landing or in the hallway, and the air from the rooms should be able to flow towards the units. So keep the interior doors open and the exterior windows shut.” How much does a dehumidifier cost to run?

We often get asked how much it costs to run a dehumidifier. It’s an important topic, as rising energy bills have forced everyone in the UK to be more aware of how much their appliances cost to run. Of course, energy usage isn’t the only consideration when buying a dehumidifier. If you’re tired of condensation or mould, a dehumidifier is one of the fastest ways to reduce humidity. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Things are a bit more complicated than this though. While a dehumidifier is sold with a power rating, that doesn’t mean it uses this power all the time. Dehumidifier manufacturers are more conscious of energy usage than ever before. Newer dehumidifiers are being built with a variety of energy saving features to help keep energy costs low.Dehumidifiers are the best way to reduce humidity in your home and many are cost effective and energy efficient. They range from bathroom dehumidifiers to compact ones for your car and even ones you can control from your mobile phone. Small dehumidifiers are ideal for flats or smaller spaces, while the bigger models can dehumidify a five-bedroom property or a small business space. Look for one which draws less than 330 Watts and you will never spend more than 10p per hour. It’s often much less on lower power settings. Dehumidifiers are generally cheap to run. What size dehumidifier do I need? Whilst moisture in the home is vital for comfort and wellness, too much excess moisture can result in both health and structural problems as water vapour will permeate through walls, furnishings and clothes creating expensive damage associated with damp, mould and the unbearable musty smell that often comes along with it – a dehumidifier in these circumstances is not only useful, it is essential.

This data is based on running the dehumidifier for 12 hours a day at the listed wattage. If you only need to run a dehumidifier for 2-4 hours per day, which is common once a baseline humidity has been established, the energy costs (per day or week) are likely to be lower. If you need to run the dehumidifier for 24 hours per day until the humidity is brought down, then the costs will be double. Designed specifically for home use, our wide range of the latest home dehumidifiers will work quietly and efficiently to ensure moisture is always at optimum levels, providing maximum results with minimum fuss. It’s a difficult question to answer, as the cost varies wildly. Factors such as the temperature, type of dehumidifier ( desiccant or refrigerant) and energy-saving features all affect the running costs. Manufacturers also confuse the issue by adding the phrase “energy efficient” to every product description – whether it’s deserved or not.We are Introducing Dehumidifier Midea MDDF-16DEN7-QA3 with room coverage up to 44m. Dehydrate up to 16 liters of water for a day to breathe freely at any time. Provide a healthy atmosphere without moisture and mold. Use the Dehumidifier day and night, even in the bedroom, as only52dB noise quiet. Your Dehumidifier works properly and protects your home from an accident even when you are gone! The tank management system stops working when the container is full. The beauty of a desiccant dehumidifier is not only that they are typically quieter than compressor models, but they are ideal for smaller, unheated areas such as conservatories, campervans, garages, boats and cellars. They’re also fantastically efficient. The running costs of a dehumidifier varies depending on its power rating, the mode you use, and your energy tariff. As we all know, energy prices have gone up rapidly during 2022, and this looks likely to continue in the future, so you’ll need to adjust the numbers for your own tariff and the current energy prices. Reducing humidity can also eliminate dust mites, which can relieve allergies. It can reduce “musty” smells in your home while preventing mould from spreading. It can even reduce skin and lung irritation.

Domestic dehumidifiers can extract up to 25 litres of water per day. We have largely focused on 20l models since these are the most popular for domestic use. For larger spaces, damper environments or colder temperatures, choose something more powerful. (Or vice versa for smaller spaces.) All dehumidifiers are rated in Watts (W). This is the amount of power the dehumidifier uses, which is another way of saying the amount of energy per second the dehumidifier requires to run. The higher the power, the more energy the dehumidifier will use. Dehumidifiers are proving exceptionally popular this year and our top-rated airers may temporarily sell out. These are currently the best places to look for alternatives: The Honeywell features a smart digital humidistat,” Air Con Centre’s Ryan Kandola says. “It automatically senses the moisture levels of your room to maintain your pre-programmed humidity level. There’s also a washable dust filter to purify the air that has already been dehumidified. It’s a good all-rounder.” Smart Dehumidification Technology - automatically control room humidity in a comfortable range (45%-55% according to room temperature) which inhibits bacteria growth.

Rather than being a compressor or a desiccant, the ProBreeze instead uses peltier technology, similar to that used in some mini fridges, to cool water vapour into water. It’s much quieter than the other methods.
