What to know locally in Free State
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.
Free State: the weather, the buildings and the damp
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.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: keeps a bedroom or lounge dry through winter and helps washing dry indoors without mould
- Growers, nurseries and farms: dries a small seed store or drying room off the main growing area
- Factories and food plants: dries a small packing room, a staff changing area or a control room
