Ever since I moved from London to Whitley Bay some 3 years ago I’ve always felt cold at home. My home never reached more than 8 to 10C in the spring/summer without adding heating. Even with the heating on it’s never been more than 17c/20C. so quite cold and most of the time I used to sit at home around with two jumpers on or two pairs of socks or a hot water bottle or a blanket. Whenever I went to bed even during the summer I went to sleep with a hot water bottle to keep warm. A couple weeks ago a friend at work suggested to buy two Dehumidifiers one for the back and one for the front of the apartment. The two should solve the problem and you should get a warm apartment my work colleague said. It has worked miracles really. I’ve had those two dehumidifiers work day and night and in general I need to empty the water bucket twice a day and they are full each time, and the average temperature in the apartment went up to 20-24C without everything. No need for putting the heating on or sitting with a hot water bottle. Having grown up with Air Condition in all rooms ever since I can remember, I’ve not been used to the concept of Dehumidifiers in a home as an air condition filters humidity automatically and that was something totally new to me. But it has worked. the last couple nights it was so hot in the apartment I was sweating. That has never happened to me before since I moved here from London I was always cold. Honestly I’m rather hot than cold and I had to open the windows during the night and turn the dehumidifier off because google said it won’t work properly with the window open. It is one amazing experience. as I said I got two of them, one is sitting in my living room that works for the living room, kitchen and entrance hall and the other one is standing in the back hall and covers the two bed and bathrooms and the office. It cost me something in the £500’ds to buy them both but it was a really good investment and I expect my gas bill to go down as I won’t need to put on the heating in the evening as I had before. I always had the heating on even in the summer from 4am to 7:30 and from 7:30 to 10:00pm. At the same time saying that maybe my electricity bill might go up because the two machines are running almost 24/7. But I am getting the humidity levels down. when I started off the humidity was at 75% to 90%. Now it is down to 55 – 60% which is a great improvement. How do you like my Blog?
