Owners warned dehumidifiers 'won't work' if they make 1 simple mistake

dailyrecord.co.uk:

As the cost of living crisis bites and energy bills are set to soar, households are looking for ways to cut costs without compromising on comfort.

Dehumidifiers can be a savvy choice for tackling dampness during the moist autumn and winter months, not only aiding in moisture reduction but also serving as an alternative to pricier tumble dryers for drying laundry.Yet, it's vital to sidestep common blunders that could impair your dehumidifier's efficiency and durability, potentially inflating your energy expenses.

Glenn Gault, CEO at Gault Heating and Cooling, has highlighted key mistakes to avoid with your dehumidifier.One major misstep is leaving doors and windows open while the dehumidifier runs.

Although dehumidifiers "work better in rooms with proper air circulation", this doesn't mean you should let outdoor air in.Glenn clarifies: "When you open interior doors and windows, you let the moisture from the outside flow in and also enlarge the work area for a dehumidifier, forcing it to work longer hours." Another error is setting dehumidifiers below 40 percent, reports the Express.
