Iāve upgraded my insulation & anything above 18Ā° during winter is too warm tbh - 17Ā° probably enough but women are inherently cold creatures.
During summer stays down at 12Ā° & pump only runs to heat water after showers or baths.
We do have solid fuel stoves & theyāre handy when power goes & women again just love flamesā¦.
If Iām remaining here
Iāll invest in an insert stove soon
Could have done with it a few weeks ago
Humidifier must be hard on electricity?
It that unhealthily warm? In a highly insulated house, it just seems too warm to me.
Anywhere 18-21 apparently.
You turn off air to water at night?
No itās on alnight
But not kicking in as I lower temperature on thermostat
Lower it to 16 upstairs
15 down
Youāre house not freezing then?
I honestly donāt know
Just got the bigger one recently
Dues the job as I have a full load in the washing machine every 3 days( gym etc)
Whereas before it took days to dry
Now it takes a few hours,
And clothes are wrinkle free.
Iād highly recommend it,
One I got in amazon came with over 2 k positive reviews
Iāve seen negative also .
But afaik electric isnāt too bad,
Know if several households using them,
And can categorically state houses that use a dehumidifier will not have mould
Mould is toxic, dangerous stuff. That paint is definitely an improvement but itās a sticky tape solution to a fundamental issue with ventilation and to a lesser extentā¦ cold surfaces.
Correct
But it will kill it
And provided they open a bloody window
And put in a decent extraction fan
Theyāll win
Iām using it for years
Mostly rentals
Heat on full blast- no open windows- hot hitting cold- condensation- cycle , cycle , cycle
Dehumidifier certainly helps
Cunts drying clothes on radiators too!
(Preventing the natural convection cycles cc @Juhniallio )
U got it
Suppose I was as bad drying mine on the clothes horse in front of the fire 
back aways
No moukd though
Windows opened and proper ventilation
Itās common sense
Rads house here.
The sister in law said to put the clothes on a clothes horse for a day before putting them on the rads.
Seems to help.
But the water has to go somewhereā¦
Yes if you have mechanical ventialtion it goes outside
Ireland very behind with the lack of AC
Honestly the dehumidifier is the job
Paired my clothing yesterday on the line for a few hours ( including large towels and jeans)
Then had the rad on a low heat plus the dehumidifier- bingo
3 hours bone dry
She has them out on the line today for the first time this year.
Weāll see what the verdict is later on.
Tbh it can be
Iāve since started using it to 18.5/19 upstairs
20 c down stairs
Marked improvement in comfort
Still it bothers me thatā
Itās on always
