Using a dehumidifier can make a dramatic difference to your indoor environment and for anyone with allergies, eczema or asthma maintaining the relative humidity of the home or office at a constant 50% has important health benefits.
House dustmites which trigger asthma attacks and eczema flare-ups only thrive when the relative humidity reaches beyond 50%.
It is tempting to keep the air in the home moist, particularly in winter when central heating makes the air dry, affecting the skin and respiratory tract. But adding too much moisture to the air also leads to condensation, mildew and mould spores which are serious triggers for asthma. Anyone with arthritis or rheumatism can suffer in damp conditions too. However, maintaining relative humidity levels at 50% is easier said than done as the humidity level goes up and down as we breathe, shower, do the laundry, boil a kettle or even when the weather changes.
The dehumidifier we recommend is the 2650e model from Ebac, a British manufacturer whose dehumidifiers are tailored to the British climate. An impressive feature of the Ebac 2650e dehumidifier is "Smart Control". This means the dehumidifier reads the temperature and level of humidity in your home every thirty minutes, every day, and automatically adjusts its performance so that you don't have to be constantly changing the controls. This means energy efficiency too and running costs of as little as 2p per hour. You will be amazed at how much moisture this efficient machine will extract from the atmosphere in your home or office.The Ebac 2650e extracts up to 18litres of moisture a day and a special Boost Control means you can override the fan speed and humidistat so your dehumidifier works at maximum performance for a set period of time. Perfect for drying laundry, after shampooing a carpet or on especially damp days. The Ebac 2650e has a Pollen-Gone® filter fitted as standard. To keep your dehumidifier operating at maximum efficiency change the filter every 3 or 4 months.
