Dehumidifer Query

[Andy Gorman]

Leave it on all the time.
Even having people in the room will create humidity, from breathing.

The water container will continue to fill for months probably, as it draws all the moisture from the walls, timber etc.

if so wont it run up a big electricity bill)

About 2p per hour. soon adds up! 😕

Ahem…..

I have a dehumidifier running 24/7 in my garage to stop my bikes going rusty. I don’t know about runnning costs but my electricity bills are quite reasonable.

Run one at home and leave all the doors open and it removes moisture from the whole house. When first installed, I was suprised at the amount of water it collected. From then on I sat with my hand over my whisky glass to stop it taking that 😀

P.S. I find it cheap to run so just leave it on.

I do like your sense of humour Dave, always enjoy reading your posts.

As regards running costs maybe they are cheaper to run now.
One we have, used to use it in my old house runs at 2p per hour
24/7 x 30 = £14.40 per mth.

Could be worse, you could have underfloor heating we have in the
kitchen and conservatory when on max runs at 23p per hour :worry:

Roll on summer 😎 😎

I used to live in a house that suffered from really bad condensation. We used to run a dehumidifier overnight and it would collect up to 2 litres of water EVERY night!
