A little bit upfront can lead to long-term savings
Dehumidifiers have been around for some time, but we probably think of them most often as a tool for drying out damp plaster after a DIY project. Most homes will have one of these appliances, whether it is in the house, utility room or garage, but the chances are that they are being underutilized. After all, these gadgets have so many other incredible uses for around the home.
Money-saving expert Lewis recently shared that drying your clothes with a 200w dehumidifier – instead of a large standing dryer – could cost you as little as 7p an hour ; 200w is a fifth of a kw and a fifth of 34p is about 7p. Granted, dehumidifiers don't come cheap, with some costing up to £400, but if you have a lot of laundry days in the week and rely on the tumble dryer to get bedding and garments dry, the dehumidifier could be a smart investment to make.
