What to know locally in Mpumalanga
In the Lowveld a compressor dehumidifier works well because the air is warm as well as wet, and a home unit in a bedroom or a lodge room pays off through the summer months. On the escarpment, where rooms are cold for weeks, a desiccant model is often the better choice. Packhouses and cold stores around Nelspruit and Malelane often ask for larger units with drain pumps.
Damp and humidity in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga has two climates side by side. The Lowveld around Mbombela, White River, Hazyview and Barberton is hot and humid in summer, with heavy rain, and cupboards, shoes and leather go musty if a house is shut up for weeks. Up on the Highveld escarpment, Graskop, Dullstroom and Ermelo are cold and misty in winter, and stone and brick cottages stay damp for months. Coal country around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda adds workshops, plants and stores where steel rusts and electrical gear needs dry air. Citrus, subtropical fruit and timber also make cold stores and packhouses a steady source of work for humidity control.
The requests we see from Mpumalanga usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: keeps a bedroom or lounge dry through winter and helps washing dry indoors without mould
- Factories and food plants: dries a small packing room, a staff changing area or a control room
- Warehouses, archives and storage: protects a small storeroom or archive cupboard where a full industrial unit is too big
