A home dehumidifier is a device used to decrease the relative humidity in an area. For UK homes, the ideal relative humidity is between 30-50%. The relative humidity refers to the amount of moisture present in the air, which is affected by the climate’s temperature. Relative humidity (RH) is measured by the amount of water vapor in the air in comparison to the amount that the air is capable of holding at a specific temperature. Many of our models also feature a controllable humidistat, providing more control over your environment and increased efficiency.

Home Dehumidifier FAQs

How does a home dehumidifier work?

A home dehumidifier works by drawing in moist air, removing the excess moisture and rereleasing drier air back into the room. The water removed is stored in a removable tank which can then be discarded.

Where can I use a small dehumidifier?

Small dehumidifiers are versatile units and can be used for a variety of different needs. They can be used in bathrooms, bedrooms, garages, lofts, guest accommodation, rental properties, treatment rooms, drying rooms and offices.

How often does the water tank need emptying?

How often a dehumidifier’s water tank needs emptying is dependent on the size of the unit and the location it is operating in. A bathroom, for example, will usually have a higher humidity level than a bedroom, so would more than likely need its water tank emptying more often.

Do dehumidifiers help with mould?

Dehumidifiers help to reduce moisture that mould needs to grow. Whilst they may not be effective in removing existing mould, they prevent new mould from being able to grow.
