About dehumidifier machines:

If you have a damp problem within your home or property that has come from penetrating or rising damp, or you are experiencing excessive moisture from poor air circulation caused by cooking or a form of heating (maybe you use a tumble dryer in your kitchen without an extractor fan?), you may be having to put-up with mould that is growing on your walls, around your window frame edges, on sealant around fixtures and fittings, and also a musty damp smell or odour too? 

Unless you have a major damp problem that needs the help of a builder or specialist contractor - one solution would be to use a dehumidifier.  

First lets look at humidity...

Every building, property, and home has a level of humidity in the air within. If your home is centrally heated you may think that this air is completely dry, but usually there is a level of moisture present too. If you dry clothes and other laundry items by way of a tumble dryer or a clothes airer (inside your home) the actual humidity level can be quite surprisingly high. Cooking without proper ventilation in your kitchen adds to this problem too! 

The same goes for washing in bathrooms and shower rooms, if there is a lack of ventilation the humidity level in these parts of your home can go sky high - creating damp and mould growth in many areas at the long term. 

How can you tell if you have a humidity problem? 

Easy, look for condensation on windows, tiled surfaces, mirrors, and even plastered walls! If any of these are present - you have an excess moisture problem. 


What does a dehumidifier actually do? 

A dehumidifier is a simple but clever piece of electrical equipment, it can be classed as an appliance or alternatively "a dehumidifier machine".

It operates like an "air vacuum cleaner" by drawing excessive moisture out of the room or area the machine is sited in, depositing it as water in a collection tank (or collection bottle), and then blowing the air back into the room again.

How does a dehumidifier work?  

• A dehumidifier operates off an electrical supply, usually one which is 230/240v in-line with the power supply found in both commercial and domestic properties within the UK. 

• Small (domestic) dehumidifiers (as can be purchased at many different outlets and also online retailers) are usually fitted with a standard UK 3 pin plug. If you choose to hire a dehumidifier machine it will usually be supplied from your local Sheffield tool hire shop with a suitable length of power cable along with a rcd (circuit breaker) safety device. 

• A dehumidifier operates in a similar way to a refrigerator. The process is as below: 

• Warm, high moisture content air is sucked into the machine through a grille or aperture on the machine. 

• An internal electric operated fan draws this air upwards. 

• The warm (and high moisture) air then passes over freezing cold pipes of which through a coolant circulates.

• As this air cools down, the moisture that is within turns back into a liquid state (water), this then drips off the pipework. 

• A small heating element then warms this air back up to the original temperature, after which it is blown back into the room via another grill or aperture. 

• A collection tube then directs the water and deposits it in a collection bottle / tank, or a tray. 

• When this collection tank is full (depending on individual machine brand and model) usually the dehumidifier will turn automatically off, and may also switch on a warning light telling you that the machine needs emptying. 

Should you buy or rent a dehumidifier?

If the problem within your Sheffield home or property is minor, perhaps only experienced during the cold seasons of Autumn or Winter, it may be wise to simply buy a budget priced dehumidifier machine? 

If however you have an issue with excess moisture, damp, or a need to "dry out" a building - then you should consider the rental of a heavy duty dehumidifier machine from a local tool hire shop! 

This is especially the case if your property or house has suffered water damage from a burst pipe (central heating system, cold and hot water pipes, maybe water drainage?) or a flood. The same applies if you have discovered a bad or a major damp problem!

Have you had a room or your Sheffield property re-plastered or re-painted? If so, a dehumidifier can help it dry out faster!   

Where to hire a dehumidifier from in Sheffield

There are several places in the city where you can obtain one of these useful machines from. Some of the equipment hire companies only deal with trade users on a business account basis whilst some offer both.

If you are a business user you will generally be able to use any of the local hire companies providing you open an account with your preferred one.

For private users the situation can be different, you need to book and obtain your machine from a company that serves private users, usually with payment being made on either a debit or credit card or alternatively by cash.
