Eliminate Excess Moisture with the Right Dehumidifier for Every Room
The effectiveness of a dehumidifier depends not only on its technology but also on where it is installed. A bathroom, basement, garage, or crawl space each has different humidity levels, temperatures, and ventilation conditions.
Discover which type of dehumidifier is best suited to each room in your home and follow our installation tips for optimal performance.
Why does the choice of dehumidifier depend on the room?
Every room in your home has different humidity levels and environmental conditions. Choosing the right dehumidifier technology will ensure better performance, lower energy consumption, and improved indoor comfort.
| Room | Humidity | Temperature | Recommended Technology |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bathroom | High | Moderate | Peltier or Compressor |
| Bedroom | Medium | Moderate | Quiet Compressor |
| Laundry Room | High | Moderate | Compressor |
| Garage | High | Cold | Desiccant |
| Basement | Very High | Cold | Desiccant |
| Wine Cellar | Controlled | 12–16°C | Desiccant |
| Crawl Space | Very High | Cold | Desiccant |
| Boat | Variable | Cold | Desiccant |
Installing a dehumidifier in a bathroom
The bathroom is one of the most humid rooms in the house. After every shower, moisture condenses on walls, tiles, mirrors, and ceilings, creating the perfect environment for mould and mildew.
A compact dehumidifier helps reduce excess moisture, prevents mould growth, and speeds up drying after use.

Installing a dehumidifier in a laundry room
Laundry rooms often contain several sources of moisture:
- Washing machine
- Tumble dryer
- Damp clothes drying indoors
A compressor dehumidifier helps reduce condensation while significantly speeding up the drying process, making laundry dry faster and helping to prevent mould and musty odours.

Installing a Dehumidifier in a Garage
Garages are rarely heated and are often exposed to significant temperature fluctuations. These conditions encourage condensation, rust on tools, corrosion of vehicles and moisture damage to stored items.
Unlike compressor dehumidifiers, desiccant dehumidifiers continue to perform efficiently even when temperatures approach or fall below 0°C (32°F).
Recommended models
Dehumidifier PROS 13
Ideal for small to medium-sized garages.
Dehumidifier PROS 19
Recommended for larger garages or spaces with very high humidity levels.
Why choose a PROS dehumidifier?
- Operates in temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F) (PROS 13) or -15°C (5°F) (PROS 19)
- Wall, ceiling or floor installation
- Continuous operation, 24/7
- No water tank to empty
- Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control
- Perfect for cold, unheated environments
Installing a dehumidifier in a wine cellar
A wine cellar requires precise environmental control to preserve the quality of your wine collection.
Two factors are essential:
- Maintaining a stable temperature.
- Keeping the ideal humidity level to protect corks and labels.
When correctly installed, the PROS 13 and PROS 19 can exhaust humid air without significantly affecting the cellar's temperature, making them an excellent solution for wine storage areas.

Dehumidifers PROS 13 et PROS 19
Installing a dehumidifier in a crawl space
Crawl spaces are among the most challenging areas to control humidity. They are typically:
- Continuously exposed to moisture.
- Poorly ventilated.
- Difficult to access.
- Subject to low temperatures.
A desiccant dehumidifier is the most effective solution for these conditions, helping prevent mould growth, structural moisture damage and rising damp.

Installing a dehumidifier on a boat
Boats are constantly exposed to moisture caused by condensation, sea air and temperature fluctuations.
Thanks to their compact size, continuous operation and tank-free design, the PROS dehumidifiers are particularly well suited for marine environments. They provide reliable humidity control while requiring very little maintenance.
