Hi @El Toro , I'm sure Im posting this in the wrong place, so please move to where you see fit. I've known and worked with this crowd for over 10 years. Good kit and sensible prices. The question of Dehumidifiers comes up quite a lot on this forum. For Example Stanley 12L Compact Dehumidifier £107.50 (exc vat)£129.00 (inc vat) https://www.cooleasy.co.uk/categories/dehumidifiers COMPRESSOR DEHUMIDIFIERS Domestic dehumidifiers come in a wide range of sizes and capacities to suit your application for where ever you need to reduce the moisture in the air. No Maintenance is required - it is quite simply a fit and forget system if making use of the auto drain function, if not then the generous size water collection tray means you should very rarely have to empty it out. The compressor dehumidification makes it an extra efficient and powerful way to remove moisture from the room and works perfectly alongside domestic heating. How Does The Compressor Dehumidifier Work? The compressor in the system will pump refrigerant round the copper coils in the dehumidifier itself (much like a mono block air conditioning system) the air is drawn over these copper coils and condenses, this condensed water is then left to drip into the collection tray inside the air conditioning unit, this means they can collect a vast quantity of water, however the colder it gets in the room, the less effective it will be as there will be a smaller difference between ambient and coil temperature which will cause the water to condense at a slower rate. Best Way To Use The Dehumidifier The best way to use the portable dehumidifier for your home is to use it in the room where you have the most moisture in the house for 24 hours, then move it around into any of the other rooms where you are having a humidity problem. PS This self promoting Mr AirCon isn't getting a cent for this.... just wanted to help. Any questions on Dehumidifiers please asked them or me for an opinion. Have a read of the options before making a purchase.
Would the dehumidifier you linked to be appropriate for a single brick built garage with an up and over door?
Hey mate, Don't know if its an option but would it be an idea to put a dehumidifier in my bathroom/ shower room, To fit an extractor fan isn't going to be an easy option because of location, Its just to get rid of steam/ moisture whilst using the shower? Advice appreciated Cheers Jack
This is an easy one. Because the shower/bathroom is warm then the dehumidifier is a great choice if it's not possible to fit in an extract fan. Part F & L of the building code dictates this sort of thing. It should have been picked up during the planning permission stage? https://www.envirovent.com/blog/revisions-to-building-regulations-part-l-and-part-f/ You can get rectangular ducting to help for small voids? https://www.screwfix.com/p/manrose-...4dKt-fqBlkv_gZs5djhoC1b4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Cheers mate, Which dehumidifier do you recommend?? Na wouldn't have mate cos It a old large stone built house, Ive been looking at the rectangular ducting, Just need to decide on what to do,
If the bathroom is cold 90% of the condensation is going to end up on the walls. The sub £150 ones will be fine, all depends on how often you want to empty the tank.
