Newcastle notes on dehumidifiers
A desiccant unit is worth asking about in Newcastle, because winter bedrooms and storerooms get cold enough for a compressor unit to lose capacity. For homes in the town and in Madadeni, a modest home unit with a humidistat can help when a family dries washing indoors and runs a paraffin or gas heater. Industrial buyers may need to order bigger kit in from elsewhere.
Newcastle: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Newcastle sits in the far north-west of KwaZulu-Natal, well away from the humid coast. Summers bring warm days and sharp afternoon thunderstorms, while winters are cold and dry, with frost on clear mornings and cold, unheated rooms. Damp here is mostly storm leaks, condensation in winter bedrooms and bathrooms, and burst pipes after a freeze, rather than coastal mugginess. Houses range from older brick homes in the town to RDP style homes and township houses in Madadeni and Osizweni, where gas and paraffin heaters add moisture to cold rooms. Factories and warehouses in the industrial area, and mining supply firms, hold stock that needs dry storage.
Who asks for bathroom dehumidifiers around Newcastle, most often first:

- Builders, HVAC engineers and contractors: specifies a fan and a small unit for a bathroom that will have no opening window
- Factories and food plants: keeps wash bays and ablution blocks from growing mould and peeling paint
