Breathe Easy with Dehumidifiers
If you're dealing with hot humid conditions or damp air, a dehumidifier has got your back! These handy devices are designed to create a healthier living environment and the answer to controlling moisture and enhancing your indoor air quality. Even those living with low humidity conditions can benefit from a dehumidifier.
At MyDeal, we have a range of dehumidifiers at different price points to suit your budget. They're designed to reduce moisture from indoor air for a more comfortable and mould-free environment at home. Reliable, safe and compact, our dehumidifiers are non-disruptive. For those extra humid days, dehumidifiers are a total game changer.
Humidity isn't just an inconvenience; it can wreak havoc on your home and health. High indoor humidity levels can lead to a host of problems that go beyond discomfort, from condensation to unwanted pests.
Mould and mildew growth thrive in damp environments, spreading on surfaces like walls, ceilings and floors. It can be difficult to remove and cause structural damage and health issues. Not only that, high humidity levels create an ideal breeding ground for allergens like dust mites and bacteria, which can cause respiratory issues and trigger asthma attacks and allergic reactions. Excess moisture can attract pests like cockroaches, making your home inviting to unwelcome guests. Humid conditions can also cause musty, unpleasant odours.
The Benefits of Dehumidifiers
Investing in a dehumidifier offers plenty of benefits:
Healthier Air: Reduce allergens and respiratory issues by eliminating mould and dust mites.
Comfort: Enjoy a cooler and more comfortable living space, especially during humid seasons.
Preservation: Protect your home’s structure and your belongings from water damage.
Odour Control: Eliminate musty smells caused by excess humidity.
How Do Dehumidifiers Work?
Dehumidifiers work by drawing humid air over cold coils, which causes the moisture to condense into water droplets. This water is collected in a reservoir or drained. The now-dehumidified air is then reheated and released back into the room. This continuous process helps to maintain a balanced indoor humidity level.
Types of Dehumidifiers
Refrigerant (Compressor) Dehumidifiers
How They Work: These dehumidifiers use a refrigeration cycle to cool air, causing moisture to condense and collect in a tank.
Best For: Areas with high humidity and moderate temperatures, such as basements and bathrooms.
Pros: Highly effective in warm, humid conditions.
Cons: Can be less efficient in cooler environments.
Desiccant Dehumidifiers
How They Work: These units use a desiccant material (like silica gel) to absorb moisture from the air.
Best For: Cooler areas or spaces with lower humidity levels.
Pros: Effective in low temperatures, quieter operation.
Cons: Typically have lower capacity and can be more expensive.
Thermoelectric (Peltier) Dehumidifiers
How They Work: Use the Peltier effect to create a cool surface for condensation.
Best For: Small spaces like closets, bedrooms, and small bathrooms.
Pros: Compact, quiet, and energy-efficient.
Cons: Limited capacity and effectiveness in large areas.
Key Features to Look For in a Dehumidifier
Capacity
Measured in litres per day (LPD), capacity indicates how much moisture a dehumidifier can remove in 24 hours. Choose a capacity that matches the size and humidity level of your space.
Automatic Shutoff Times
Prevents overflow by shutting the unit off when the water tank is full.
Hygrometer/ Humidistat
Allows you to set and maintain a specific humidity level for optimal comfort and control.
Continuous Drainage Option
Some models offer a hose connection for continuous drainage, eliminating the need to empty the tank manually.
Energy Efficiency
Look for energy-efficient models to save on electricity costs.
Portability
Features like caster wheels and handles make it easy to move the dehumidifier from room to room.
Usage Tips
Placement
Position your dehumidifier in a central location with good air circulation. Avoid placing it too close to walls or furniture.
Regular Maintenance
Clean the filter regularly and empty the water tank as needed to maintain efficiency.
Optimal Settings
Aim for a humidity level between 30-50% for the best results.
Monitor Humidity Levels
Use a hygrometer to monitor indoor humidity levels and adjust settings accordingly.
