Dehumidifiers are appliances often electrical that draw moisture from the air. The are primarily used in homes with high humidity and particularly popular in colder months when the warm air in a property mixes with the cooler air outside.
Dehumidifiers work by drawing the humid air in. This air is pushed through a number of cold coils condensing it inside the dehumidifier which collects the water in a tank or is drained through a hose. Cooler, drier air is then pumped back into the room.
Dehumidifiers have lots of benefits. These include reducing the levels of damp, mould and mildew within the home, which helps to keep your home a drier and more comfortable place to live. Some dehumidifiers also have the ability to remove impurities from the air that can often trigger allergies.
There are two main types of dehumidifiers, refrigerant or desiccant. Refrigerant models remove moisture through cooling and condensing the air. Desiccant dehumidifiers, remove water from the air using chemicals like silica gel which absorbs moisture from the air until they reach their capacity.
