Dehumidifiers in Newcastle: local notes
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.
Damp and humidity in Newcastle
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.
The requests we see from Newcastle usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: dries a bedroom, lounge or laundry where condensation and damp washing are a winter habit
- Warehouses, archives and storage: protects stored paper, cardboard, textiles and electronics from damp air in a closed store
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: keeps rental flats from growing black mould on walls and cupboards, so tenant complaints stop
