Why this guide matters
Humidity control protects people, buildings and collections. The right system prevents condensation, limits mould and keeps air comfortable. This guide explains how to match a dehumidifier to your space and climate so you can make a confident choice.
Decide the relative humidity band you want. Most homes feel good between about forty and fifty five percent. Indoor pools and process spaces need closer control. Lower bands often require different technologies and careful duct design.
List the room or enclosure dimensions, the temperature range across the seasons, air change or infiltration and any moisture sources. Pools have evaporation. Food facilities and laundries add process moisture. Homes may have damp subfloors or bathroom steam.
Refrigerant systems work well in warm and damp spaces, for example pool rooms and many homes. Desiccant systems help when spaces are cooler or when you need a very low and stable band. DEHUM supplies fixed and mobile solutions across both families and will recommend based on your target band and climate.
Pool rooms are warm, wet and often chlorinated. Purpose designed pool units are built for these conditions and can be installed on the wall, the floor or within a plant space. Consider airflow paths, acoustic needs, service access and grilles that prevent draughts over the water surface.
Ducted residential units sit out of sight and can serve multiple rooms with very low noise. They are ideal where floor space is limited or where a consistent comfort band is required across the home.
Correct sizing starts with moisture load, not just square metres. Share your dimensions, temperatures, ventilation and the band you want to maintain. DEHUM will calculate the load and propose a model and a simple duct concept where needed.
Decide where plant will sit, how air will be moved and how the system will be controlled. For commercial sites, plan alarms and visibility in your Building Management System. For homes, keep controls simple and easy to use.
If you know your target band and have basic room details, request a no obligation sizing review. The right choice will protect your building and keep air healthy year round.
