    Great video! Just purchased a Meaco dehumidifier. Ive had it a couple of months now and the difference that it has made has been very significant. Even the house feels warmer. Just today ive ordered a smaller model from Meaco for the conservatory. Ive gone for a dessicant one this time. Apparently this type is better for rooms that get very cold. Hope it is as good as the other.

    Perhaps you should have considered desiccant type dehumidifiers.....
    "Ambient Temperature - Desiccant dehumidifiers work well in ambient temperature range between 1 to 40 degrees Celsius. Compressor dehumidifiers only work well between 16 to 40 degree Celsius."
    In our home and use a compressor type dehumidifier was very much useless. The difference when using the desiccant type was amazing in the water extraction.

      I use compressor DH to dry shipping storage container and it works well around 10C degrees or more. I don't bother to run it around 5C, because it is too cold and I don't want to waste solar power. Absorbtion DH heats the air and uses more power, so compressor could reach effectively the same performance, just ad some heating. At 20C it is the most efficient.

      @pavel9652 11 месяцев назад

      It depends on ventilation, but humidity will eventually equalise. You can also use a fan to stir the air. I would move it between floors. Also, put monitors in each room.

  • @billbimson2408
    @billbimson2408 4 часа назад

    I think it would be worth pointing out how temperature and humidity affects extraction rate because it is dramatic. I've seen a couple of dehumidifiers which specify the extraction rate when the temperature is 30C and the relative humidity is 100% because this massively massages the rate of extraction and is not what you get in the real world in a house. If fact you will probably only get those parameters in a tropical rain forest.

    Fantastic video mate. Tell me something about the number of bedrooms and extraction rates that u mentioned please. You are using it in one bedroom at a time or placeing it in the hallway? Because there is a dehumidifier company that states that their dehumidifer will work on multiple rooms if placed in the central hallway. Will that actually work if the doors to multiple rooms are open? How will it switch off when a certain threshold is reached in such a case? In this case, it will take the humidity level in the hallway to switch off I am guessing?

    • @lords-electrical
      @lords-electrical  Год назад +4

      Most dehumidifiers will work in a hallway rather than just in an individual room but will clearly not be as effective in each room as it is trying to dehumidify several rooms in 1 go. It can still switch off when it it reaches a certain threshold it is almost taking an average of all the rooms.

    Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

    • @donrobbie1461

      Hi Andrew you might want to consider a portable air conditioning unit rather than a dehumidifier. I bought an AEG model from John Lewis and am very happy with it. Not cheap but on hot days significantly cools down my 20 foot long lounge where I work if very hot during the day. One thing though to be aware of... Out of the back of the unit is a 5 inch diameter hose which has to go out of the slightly open window to expel the hot air extracted via the compressor. I have made a plate that has a hole for the hose that goes in the window gap to reduce outside ambient hot air coming into the chilled room. I only use the unit around 10 days a year when temp is over 22 degrees but very thankful for it.

    Does your company have a small pump to drain the water and push it up to about 50 inches to drain in a normal kitchen sink. This feature is very important in my case.
    You probably have a tiny little pump that hooks up to your system. Your response is very important.

    The most important choice I would say is “what type of dehumidifier technology is being used. Desiccant are generally more expensive to run, but are much more effective at temps below 18 degrees. Desiccants also tend to warm the atmosphere, where as compressors don’t.
