How do dehumidifiers work?
Air is drawn into the unit by a fan. The air is then cooled down and the excess moisture condenses onto a chilled surface after which it is safely collected in the removable water container.
The air is then reheated with the energy removed during the cooling phase and returned to the room significantly warmer and drier than before.

What Causes The Problem?
All air contains moisture and this is only natural, however, there can be too much. Especially in winter when moisture has been added through our day-to-day activities, such as boiling a kettle, drying clothes, showering and even breathing.
A typical family adds as much as 20 pints (11 Liters) of excess moisture to the air every day.
In the days when houses were poorly insulated, the excess moisture easily escaped from the home. Today, the double-glazing and draught proofing that keep our homes much better insulated also traps in the excess moisture we generate.
Labor saving appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and tumble dryers also contribute to excess moisture in the home, which in turn leads to condensation and humidity problems.
Do I Need To Buy A Dehumidifier?
Here is a brief overview: If your home feels very dry, you have no condensation in winter and you have good ventilation including an open coal fire, then the answer is probably no. If like the majority of us your home feels humid, you have condensation on the windows in winter and central heating instead of an open fire, then the answer is probably yes.
If you live in a modern, well insulated double - glazed bungalow or house, and you are getting black mold spots on the wallpaper - usually in a north or east facing corner, a slight mildew or mushroom smell when you come home after being out for a while, white mold spots on leather items such as shoes or coats left in a wardrobe - and condensation is appearing on the inside of your double-glazed windows - if you
recognize any of these symptoms or show any type of mold growing in any part of your home, you need a dehumidifier and you need one NOW before things deteriorate even further!
Also if you or someone in the household is an allergy suffer,
one of these units is a good option. It will help you reduce the medium in which many allergens grow and thus help the person who is suffering. After all, the best way to fight an allergen is to remove it all together.
Is Too Much Humidity A Health Concern?
Yes, condensation and humidity can pose a threat to your health. Excess moisture can aggravate conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism. Recent research indicates that high humidity causes more house dust-mite activity, which increases the risk of asthma.
