Home dehumidifier
The choice of a home dehumidifier depends on the room temperature, as each technology reacts differently to ambient conditions. A home dehumidifier is a device designed to reduce and maintain an optimal level of humidity in the ambient air inside a dwelling. It works by extracting excess water from the air, which helps prevent problems related to excessive humidity, such as mold formation, window condensation, and bad odors. Here are the types of dehumidifiers suited to each situation:
Temperatures above 15°C:
In environments where the temperature is ambient or warmer, a compressor dehumidifier is recommended. This model works by cooling the humid air using a compressor, creating a thermal shock that condenses the humidity to collect it in a reservoir. Peltier effect dehumidifiers, which use a thermoelectric effect to condense humidity, are also suitable for these temperatures, although less effective than compressor models. These devices are particularly useful in basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other areas prone to high humidity levels. In addition to improving comfort, they protect the home's structure and furniture and promote healthier air.

Temperatures below 15°C:
For cold rooms, such as cellars or basements, where the temperature can drop to 0°C, desiccant dehumidifiers are the ideal solution. These devices operate at low temperatures by passing humid air through a silica wheel to extract moisture without the risk of freezing. Desiccant dehumidifiers are specially designed for these cold environments, offering optimal performance even in conditions where other technologies fail.

In summary, depending on the temperature of your room, choose the most suitable type of home dehumidifier: compressor or Peltier effect for higher temperatures, and desiccant for cold environments.
