I have a single skin brick wall detached garage. The cold and damp weather recently has meant that condensation has built up on all cold surfaces. I have an old chest freezer which has a puddle underneath it due to dripping condensation. The motorbikes are all wet, and all containers of liquid are also wet. I figure a dehumidifier is the answer.
Does anyone else run one in a similar setup and if so, what sort of spec should I aim for? Would a “20l per day” spec do the job. One of my concerns is that the tank capacity of these is around 4l, meaning it would need to be emptied 5 times a day. Is that right? I’d prefer something I could leave running and pretty much forget about - or at least have a few days between emptying.
Also, what’s the ballpark cost of running my one of these in a garage throughout the winter months?
What do you recommend OcUK?
