Fight Indoor Humidity
In autumn, rainy weather, drying laundry indoors and less frequent ventilation can contribute to excess humidity in the home. High humidity levels can make indoor air feel uncomfortable and encourage condensation and mold growth.
A dehumidifier helps reduce excess moisture and maintain a more comfortable humidity level in your home.
Discover our dehumidification solutions and choose the Air&Me model best suited to your room, its size and your humidity level.
Why Does Humidity Increase in the Home in Autumn?
As autumn arrives, our daily habits change. Temperatures drop, windows are opened less often and laundry is more frequently dried indoors.
These different factors can contribute to increased humidity in certain areas of the home.
The main sources of indoor humidity include:
- drying laundry indoors;
- showers and baths;
- cooking and steam in the kitchen;
- insufficient ventilation;
- water infiltration or rising damp;
- temperature differences that encourage condensation.
In a poorly ventilated room, moisture can accumulate and make the indoor environment feel heavier and less comfortable.
What Is the Ideal Humidity Level in a Home?
For a comfortable indoor environment, relative humidity is generally recommended to remain between 40% and 60%.
A hygrometer makes it easy to measure indoor humidity. When humidity levels remain consistently high, a dehumidifier can help regulate moisture and create a more comfortable indoor environment.
Good to know: humidity levels can vary from one room to another. Bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements can naturally be more humid than bedrooms or living rooms.
Why Use a Dehumidifier in Autumn?
A dehumidifier draws in humid air and extracts part of the moisture it contains before releasing air with a lower moisture content back into the room.
It can be particularly useful in rooms where humidity tends to accumulate.
Bathroom
After a shower, water vapor can quickly increase humidity levels. A dehumidifier can help reduce residual moisture when ventilation alone is not sufficient.
Laundry Room
Drying laundry indoors releases a significant amount of moisture into the air. A dehumidifier can support the drying process and help prevent moisture from accumulating in the room.
Bedroom
A bedroom can become more humid during the night, particularly when several people sleep in the same room. A suitable appliance can help maintain better control over humidity levels.
Basement and Very Humid Rooms
Basements and poorly ventilated rooms can experience high humidity levels. In these situations, a compressor dehumidifier with a high extraction capacity may be more suitable.
How to Choose a Dehumidifier?
Choosing a dehumidifier mainly depends on the size of the room, the level of humidity and how you intend to use the appliance.
Before choosing your dehumidifier, consider the following:
Dehumidification Capacity
Dehumidification capacity is expressed in liters per day (L/day). The larger or more humid the room, the greater the extraction capacity you may need.
Room Size
A small compact appliance may be suitable for a small room, while a more powerful compressor model is better suited to larger spaces or significant humidity problems.
Noise Level
For use in a bedroom or living area, noise level is an important consideration.
Energy Consumption
If the appliance is used for several hours a day, its energy consumption and operating modes should be taken into account.
Water Drainage
A water tank is convenient for occasional use. For extended operation, continuous drainage or a lifting pump can make water removal much easier.

How Can You Naturally Reduce Humidity in Your Home?
A dehumidifier is an effective solution for controlling humidity, but a few everyday habits can also help limit moisture accumulation.
Ventilate Regularly
Even in autumn, regular ventilation helps refresh indoor air. When outdoor conditions allow, open your windows for a few minutes.
Use Your Ventilation System
Mechanical ventilation and extractor fans help remove some of the moisture produced in bathrooms and kitchens.
Avoid Drying Too Much Laundry in Living Areas
Wet laundry releases water vapor into the air. When outdoor drying is not possible, choose a well-ventilated room or use a dehumidifier to help manage the additional moisture.
Monitor Humidity Levels
A hygrometer allows you to regularly check indoor humidity and identify rooms that require additional attention.
Dehumidifiers and Humidity: Frequently Asked Questions
Is a dehumidifier useful in autumn?
Yes. Autumn can contribute to increased indoor humidity due to rainy weather, drying laundry indoors, reduced ventilation and temperature differences.
What humidity level should a home have?
A relative humidity level between 40% and 60% is generally considered comfortable for an indoor environment.
Where should I place a dehumidifier?
Place the dehumidifier in the room where humidity is highest, while leaving enough space around the appliance to allow proper air circulation.
Which dehumidifier should I choose for a bathroom?
For a small bathroom, ORAIN can be a suitable option thanks to its compact design, 2 kg weight and 42 dB noise level. For a larger or particularly humid room, a compressor model such as MADINE may be more suitable.
Which dehumidifier should I choose for a large room?
For a large room or an environment with high humidity, it is preferable to choose a compressor dehumidifier with a high extraction capacity. ROHAN, with a capacity of up to 50 L/day, is designed for demanding dehumidification needs.
Does a dehumidifier use a lot of electricity?
Energy consumption depends on the technology, power rating, operating time and conditions of use. ORAIN uses Peltier technology and consumes only 40 W at minimum power. MADINE and ROHAN use compressor technology and offer a higher moisture extraction capacity.
Should I leave my dehumidifier running all the time?
Not necessarily. Models equipped with a hygrostat, such as MADINE and ROHAN, can adjust their operation according to the humidity level. The goal is to maintain a comfortable humidity level rather than continuously running the appliance without regulation.
