I have realised that with the new aircon being installed on Tuesday I won't need my dehumidifiers any more, and I can get rid of a couple of electric heaters too. Extra floor space! I really should have sorted this out much sooner. I am a terrible property manager.
@RustyRaven @bot001 why wouldn't you need a dehumidifier? Is there a type of RCAC which doesn't dry the air? 🤔
I definitely notice the difference if I have mine on overnight and don't use the dehumidifier, which I only do if the temperature outside is going to be extra low, but I live at 500m so that is relatively often in winter...
@RustyRaven @bot001 Scrap this reply. I was thinking *Humidifier*, not DEhumidifier, my brain not work. If you are using gas currently yeah you'd need a dehumidifier with that, but beware, while not needing a dehumidifier, you may want a cool mist humidifier in your future!
The excess humidity is mostly from drying clothes inside and cooking, not heating (I don't have gas, I have "temporary" portable electric heaters after the ducted heating stopped working). Before the dehumidifiers I often had so much condensation build up I had water running down the walls and windows - there would be puddles on the windowsills. So I'll see how it goes, but the house seems to be fairly self-humidifying for the most part!
@RustyRaven yikes! That's nuts if not using gas! Yeah you'll probably be fine then.
