Condensation - Here’s How to Fix It
Your home is at risk of damp and mould if it’s suffering from condensation build-up. But there’s good news: you can often fix condensation without needing to call in professionals.
Just follow these 4 straightforward tips on how to fix it, and you’ll solve your condensation problem yourself.
Tip 1: Get Yourself a Dehumidifier
Condensation occurs when humid air touches cold surfaces. In UK homes, that’s usually window panes and external walls. In the winter, the condensation problem worsens.
To stop condensation in its tracks, buy a dehumidifier. These suck in the moisture, enticing it away from your home’s cold surfaces. The dehumidifier then condenses this moisture and drops it into a container for you to dispose of.
Tip 2: Utilise Extractor Fans
Moisture is produced in abundance from household activities like cooking and showering. That’s why UK homes have extractor fans. Extractor fans draw in moisture-filled air and throw it outside. This prevents it from wreaking havoc in your home.
Tip 3: Airdry Laundry Wisely
Condensation manifests from airdrying laundry indoors. The moisture evaporates, entering the air and eventually forming condensation. To lessen the extent of condensation build-up, airdry your laundry in one room. This will isolate the condensation to a single room.
Just place your dehumidifier in that room, and the condensation is gone!
Tip 4: Choose Smart Control
Ebac were fed up of dehumidifiers with manual control systems. You want a dehumidifier to remove the right amount of moisture and only use the energy necessary. This is near-on impossible with manually-controlled dehumidifiers.
So, Ebac’s experts developed Smart Control. This automatic control system gathers data on your home’s Relative Humidity and switches itself on and off accordingly.
Smart Control provides the best of both worlds! It removes all that nasty moisture but doesn’t waste energy.
