Any Question Answered page 1580 for some dehumidifier discussion.
We have two dehumidifiers: both seem to work better in a warm room, but they are addressing a symptom not the cause. In my case, the main issue is condensation on windows and Mrs. E's insistence on drying things over radiators rather than in a condenser dryer which oddly seems to work best in a cool room.
MrE
Condensation is such a bastard.
Get a good dehumidifier (no idea what constitutes a good one) we were given a shit one by the estate agent. Although it's running almost everyday on and off in the kitchen/dining room and needs emptying every other day it is still soaking.
As for leaving the heat on I found it a waste of time as if I'm not mistaken condensation builds up when hot air hits cold areas , windows and lintels etc.
Every corner in our house has mould build up after a couple of weeks all of our furniture is pretty much in the center of each room, if it is on an external wall.
The only way to combat our situation, if it was mine, would be to level the fucker. Landlord had the outside re-rendered and but guess what all that has done is seal the fucking mould/damp/slugs in...can't wait to leave this fucking place.
Oh shit you wanted advice didn't you?
