Product Information

During the installation, we use high-level dust extraction, allowing the property to remain occupied with minimal disruption to the tenants or home owner. Once the equipment is installed, the electrical connection is made, and an electrical certificate will be issued along with our certificate of guarantee. Our condensation control systems utilise low energy technology to ensure minimal operating costs. Sash windows were designed to allow for the bottom and top to be opened that would draw air in and out providing effective ventilation. It's fair to say that most dehumidifiers aren't the most stylish of appliances, which is why the De'Longhi Tascuigo AriaDry Multi Dehumidifier is something of a breath of fresh air amidst the usual boxy white plastic designs.

And, whilst this Russell Hobbs number is cheaper upfront, running costs are higher, with the 20L dehumidifier using 440W of energy compared to Meaco's 20L Arete One which uses 216W on average. Plus, the Arete One offers a built-in air purifier which this model does not. Walls and ceilings are common hotspots for condensation because they are usually colder than the air in the room. In the short term, make sure you clear your windows of condensation regularly so it doesn't cause damage or develop into mould. You can do this easily with a towel, tissues, or for windows that open, a squeegee. The cheapest and smallest dehumidifiers on the market can often only extract 0.5L of water from the air per day – in many cases even less – but larger and more powerful dehumidifiers can extract up to 25L per day which can make a huge difference to your home's health if you struggle with damp issues and condensation. Cold walls: If your internal walls are cold to touch this could be a sign of damp forming. Internal walls should be warm and dry to touch if there is no moisture trapped in them.The only real downside is the premium you pay for that design-led exterior, with the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier & Air Purifier offering better value in terms of extraction and tank capacity for the price. Kenwood PLC are here to help with simple, high-quality condensation control systems to help you maintain better ventilation within the home. How Does Condensation Control Work?

Bay windows were designed to have two casement windows on either side to allow superior draw and ventilation. As for energy consumption, you can find out more in our guide to ' How much does it cost to run a dehumidifier?'. However, the easiest way to find out is to compare each dehumidifier's wattage. The higher the number of Watts the appliance requires, the more expensive running costs will be. Installed in conjunction with Kenwood passive ventilators, the condensation control unit will effectively dilute and displace the damp air within the flat, ensuring a noticeable improvement in air quality and preventing mould growth occurring. A dehumidifier is an air conditioning unit that removes humidity from the air to prevent the build-up of condensation and damp. Kenwood Plc has a range of systems for condensation control London, from simple extractor ventilators, single room solutions, incorporating heat recovery ventilators, to full positive pressure ventilation systems, which displace and dilute moisture-laden air and ensure air circulation within the property.That said, if you find the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier on offer, and are willing to accept its flaws in exchange for its lower price point, this can be a great value buy that does the job and will make a big improvement to general damp issues. For an easier to install solution, Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units can be fitted in areas that produce excessive moisture. Such as kitchens and damp basements. However, using steam on mould will not kill an ongoing mould issue, as it does not get to the root of the issue. To prevent future mould problems, you should consider draught proofing and other jobs which will prevent moisture from entering your home.' What kind of damp do I have? Anything involving heat will help kill off any bacteria,' advises cleaning expert, Matthew Harrison from Price Your Job. 'Therefore using a steam cleaner is an effective way to kill mould that is present, as it will penetrate the surface and kill 99.9 per cent of bacteria and germs.' The principle of introducing a supply of fresh, filtered air, whilst removing damp, moist air via the passive ventilators elsewhere in the property provides an excellent solution for overcoming condensation problems in residential flats ensuring a healthy living space.

This is where water enters a structure from the ground.It's more rare than damp caused by condensation, as moisture has to travel up from the ground through capillary action. Symptoms include decayed skirting boards and floors, stained plaster, and peeling paint and wallpaper. If the damp in your home is occurring lower down, it could be a case of rising damp. 3. Penetrating damp A desiccant dehumidifier differs in that it uses an absorbent material or chemical dessicant to extract moisture from the air. This means they can operate efficiently in lower temperatures, down to just 1°C, and are useful for garages, basements, conservatorys, or unheated rooms in the house over winter. However, they're usually more expensive both upfront and in terms of running costs than a compressor dehumidifier, so unless you're looking to remove damp at cold temperatures you're generally best off with a compressor model. Many new apartments are built with internal airflow systems to combat the problem. These systems use a network of ducts in the ceiling to extract and exchange air from the outside to inside. A build-up of moisture in the home can cause a range of problems and can potentially damage the fabric of the building if allowed to continue. And if mould starts to grow, this can even affect the health of the occupants. Contents in a home left empty for long periods can easily be damaged if they absorb and hold excess moisture from the air. The same applies to properties that feel permanently damp, due to their location, (perhaps built against the side of a hill) or age.Cold spots on walls or ceilings increase the likelihood of condensation, so better, more consistent insulation can be a good solution. Cavity wall and loft insulation, or having specialist insulation materials fixed to the outside of your house can all help. The air around us contains lots of microscopic droplets of water that we can’t see. When it’s more humid, the water content becomes more concentrated and more likely to ‘condense’ on surfaces. It's also important not to confuse the extraction rate with a dehumidifiers water tank capacity. As both are generally measured in litres or millilitres this can sometimes cause confusion.
