Are Desiccant Dehumidifiers Ripping You Off?
Desiccant dehumidifiers are moisture-removing machines. They’re great at what they do, but are they ripping you off? Here, we’ll explore the benefits and fallbacks of desiccant dehumidifiers and find an alternative that’s right for you.
Benefits of Desiccant Dehumidifiers
Remove Moisture
Desiccant dehumidifiers are fantastic at removing moisture from the air. They are designed for big spaces such as industrial units and garages with high moisture levels. But this doesn’t necessarily work for home use. In fact, desiccant dehumidifiers remove 3x the moisture needed to keep your home safe from condensation.
This can lead to excessive dryness, introducing bacteria into your home.
Work at Low Temperatures
Desiccant dehumidifiers work well in cold temperatures (below 15°C) because they were built for unheated sites. So, if your home is icy cold, a desiccant dehumidifier can handle it.
Fallbacks of Desiccant Dehumidifiers
Not Designed for Homes
Desiccant dehumidifiers are used to working in very cold environments with moisture-filled air. Your home is a different climate – it’s heated, and the air contains much less moisture.
So, desiccant dehumidifiers remove too much moisture for UK home use.
Waste Energy
Yes, desiccant dehumidifiers remove lots of moisture from the air. But they waste a considerable amount of energy. Desiccant dehumidifiers use twice the power of compressor dehumidifiers, but they don’t work any better!
Waste Your Money
The lavish energy consumption hikes up your bills. This wouldn’t be the end of the world if you were actually using the energy, but most of it is going to waste.
What’s the Alternative?
Desiccant dehumidifiers are indeed ripping you off. Instead, go for a compressor dehumidifier. They work just as well and are energy efficient.
The very best of the best is an Ebac compressor dehumidifier with Smart Control. These dehumidifiers switch themselves off when they’re not needed, saving you up to £55 on your energy bills every year!
