George notes on dehumidifiers
Because George is mild and damp more than hot, look for a compressor unit with auto defrost, a humidistat and a continuous drain, especially for a holiday home that runs unattended. Timber yards and furniture makers need larger units on castors for storage and finishing rooms. Desiccant models suit cooler garages and boats near Wilderness and Knysna.
George: the weather, the buildings and the damp
George sits at the foot of the Outeniqua mountains on the Garden Route, one of the few places in the Western Cape that gets rain in every season. Mild temperatures, cloud and regular showers keep walls, cupboards and laundry damp for much of the year, and sea mist rolls in at Wilderness and Herold's Bay. Timber houses, holiday homes and retirement complexes in Blanco, Heatherlands and Pacaltsdorp often sit empty or shut for weeks, which invites mould. Thembalethu has crowded homes where condensation forms inside, while the timber industry, furniture makers and logistics yards need dry storage, and tourist guesthouses worry about musty rooms.
The requests we see from George usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: keeps a bedroom or lounge dry through winter and helps washing dry indoors without mould
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: gives a damp rental flat a unit that tenants can run without a technician call-out
- Factories and food plants: dries a small packing room, a staff changing area or a control room
