As many of us become more concerned about our energy costs, we are insulating and sealing up our homes more, preventing free ventilation in our properties. This means the moisture produced from cooking, bathing and even breathing can't escape, and humidity levels rise. Double glazing can help to reduce condensation on windows, but it can also result in increased mould and damp.
At Air Conditioning Services, we specialise in supplying dehumidifier units, which can minimise damp and condensation in a building. We only supply the better make of these units, which offer low noise levels, and high performance, as well as being compact and attractively-designed.
We can supply a wide range of dehumidifiers for different sized properties, from small flats and apartments, to larger 3-4 bedroom houses. A dehumidifier can be left in one place, in the hall or landing for example, but because the units are exceptionally light, they can also be moved around easily if preferred.
With each dehumidifier we offer, we give a recommended maximum property size it will cope with. This is just a guide as it will depend on many factors, such as how many people live in the house, or whether you're at home during the day.
Dehumidifiers not only help to reduce condensation and prevent mould, they also produce a healthier and more pleasant environment to live in. Lowering humidity levels and reducing mould spores has real benefits for people with asthma or bronchial problems. We have even had clients with arthritis and rheumatism who say they have benefited from these products.
Dehumidifiers also produce more heat than energy, and the lower humidity levels can help to reduce fuel bills. What's more, as well as having an easily removable water container, most dehumidifiers can have a permanent drain connected, which is ideal if you're going away for a long period.
