Of
course,
the amount
of moisture
in your
home
can vary,
but one
thing
that
doesn't
change
is the
need
to reduce
the negative
effects
of excess
humidity.
That's
because
it can
do far
more
damage
than
cause
damp
and mould.

 |
Moisture in the air will
worsen the atmosphere
in your home in several
ways. In serious cases,
it can affect your health.
Which
is why we offer
a range of dehumidifiers
designed in Britain
for the Great British
climate.
With
dehumidifiers created
to deal effectively
with every size
home, it's no surprise
that more people
buy the dehumidifiers
we supply rather
than any other
make.

Humidity
is a new
problem partly
caused as
an unfortunate
side-effect
of making
our homes
more comfortable.

Every
home can benefit from the
removal of excess moisture
to make the environment
better for you and worse
for bugs such as house
mites and spores that grow
into mould. Look out for
these tell-tale signs of
humidity in your home:

Seeing
condensation in
your home - and
the problems it
causes such as
damp patches on
wallpaper and plasterwork
- is really like
seeing the tip
of an iceberg.
Humidities that are not
sufficiently high enough
to result in condensation
can also cause problems
such as encouraging mould,
mildew and house mite
growth.
High humidity can build
up in unheated spaces
and nooks and crannies
that attract water vapour
and can leave clothes,
shoes and furniture being
ruined.

Plus,
believe
it or
not,
a dehumidifier
can lower
your
heating
costs.
That's
because
moisture
in the
air absorbs
heat.
The drier
air produced
by a
dehumidifier
means
a warmer
home
so you
don't
have
to turn
your
heating
up so
high.
Amazingly,
a dehumidifier
can raise
the temperature
of an
average
room
by 3
degrees
centigrade.
Safety features
Removing all
the moisture
in the air, isn't
a good thing
to do as it can
over dry your
home. That's
why our dehumidifiers
are fitted with
either a new
Smart control
system and/or
adjustable humidistats.
