Free State notes on dehumidifiers
Free State winters are cold enough that a standard compressor unit may ice up in an unheated room, so ask about auto-defrost or choose a desiccant model for a farmhouse spare room, garage or weekend cottage. For bedrooms and bathrooms in Bloemfontein flats a quiet home unit with a humidistat usually does the job. Seed stores, grain handlers and food plants look at larger units with drains.
Why damp turns up in Free State
The Free State is wide open grassland, wheat and maize country, with cold dry winters that regularly drop below freezing and thunderstorms in summer. Outdoor damp is not the main issue, but the cold is: sandstone farmhouses and older homes in Bloemfontein, Kroonstad and Bethlehem keep rooms unheated, so breath, showers and drying washing condense on outside walls. The eastern highlands around Clarens, Harrismith and Ficksburg are wetter and mistier, and snow and rain leak through old roofs. Grain silos, seed stores and food plants need dry stock, while Welkom and Sasolburg add industrial plant rooms and stores. Local suppliers are mostly in Bloemfontein.
Typical ducted dehumidifiers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: dries several rooms at once in a larger house, with no machine to empty or move around
- Growers, nurseries and farms: serves a propagation room or a drying hall with a ducted unit and a steady target
- Factories and food plants: controls humidity in a clean room, a packing hall or a process area through the AHU
