As a result, a great many air-conditioning units are working overtime at the moment. But have you noticed that your home still feels muggy, even with the air-con on? Or were you shocked at the end of the month by <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-does-your-energy-bill-rise-with-a-damp-house\/\">the high energy bill<\/a> After the prolonged heatwave? Then there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019re not just battling the heat, but also an invisible damp problem.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>Many homeowners misuse their air conditioning as an expensive dehumidifier for their home. This is simply a case of treating the symptoms rather than the cause when <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">an existing damp problem<\/a>. The harsh reality is that a persistent damp problem forces your air conditioning to engage in a never-ending and costly battle. Reducing your air conditioning\u2019s energy consumption therefore doesn\u2019t start with buying an energy-efficient unit, but with keeping your home dry.

overtime<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p>To understand why your energy bill shoots up when you use an air conditioner on hot summer days, we need to look at the physics behind cooling the humid air in your home. There is simply a big difference between cooling dry air and cooling humid air.<\/p>\n<h3>Scenario 1: Cooling dry air<\/h3>\n<p>This scenario is the ideal situation. When the air in your home has a healthy humidity level, between 40% and 60%, an air conditioner can do its job quickly and thus cool the air rapidly. Dry air has a low heat capacity, as it does not retain heat as well. As soon as you switch on the air conditioner, the unit simply needs to lower the temperature of the air \u2013 a process also known as \u2018sensible cooling\u2019. The air conditioner reaches the desired temperature within a few minutes. As a result, it consumes a minimal amount of electricity and the system quickly switches to an energy-efficient mode.<\/p>\n<h3>Scenario 2: Cooling humid air<\/h3>\n<p>This scenario is the energy guzzler in the story. Because do you suffer from <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">rising damp<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">a damp cellar<\/a>? In that case, the air in the house is constantly saturated with water vapour. Humid air has an extremely high heat capacity and retains heat very effectively.<\/p>\n<p>When you switch on the air conditioning, something frustrating happens. At first, the temperature in the house barely drops. The air conditioning unit first has to condense and remove thousands of litres of invisible water vapour from the air. This condensation process consumes a lot of energy. Only once the air conditioning unit has extracted kilos of water from the air can it finally start to actually lower the temperature in your home.<\/p>\n<p>This situation is sometimes compared to a car\u2019s handbrake. Running an air-conditioner in a damp home is like driving a car with the handbrake on. The engine therefore has to work extremely hard and consumes exponentially more fuel and electricity to reach the same speed \u2013 or, in this case, a comfortable temperature.<\/p>\n<p>So, if the source of <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">the moisture problem<\/a> If this isn\u2019t addressed, new moisture will constantly continue to evaporate from the air. Your air conditioning is trapped in an endless, gruelling cycle of latent cooling. This causes your air conditioning\u2019s power consumption to rise.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like a full explanation and in-depth insight into why high humidity turns your home into a sauna on hot summer days?

In fact, it\u2019s one of the most effective ways to quickly get rid of that damp, clammy feeling in your home.<\/p>\n<h3>How can an air-conditioning unit reduce humidity?<\/h3>\n<p>Dehumidification of the home actually takes place automatically as a by-product of the cooling process.<\/p>\n<p>Warm, humid indoor air is drawn by the fan past the ice-cold heat exchanger \u2013 the fins \u2013 of the indoor unit. Because these fins are ice-cold, the air around them cools down rapidly. Cold air can hold far less water vapour than warm air. As a result, the water vapour in the air condenses immediately on the cold fins, just like your breath on a cold car window. This liquid water is then drained outside via a condensation drain pipe. The air that the air-conditioning blows back into the room is not only cooler, but also much drier.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you set the air conditioning correctly here?<\/h3>\n<p>If you specifically want to reduce the humidity in your home using <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/innova-monoblock\/\">an air-conditioner<\/a>, in which case most modern systems offer two options on the remote control.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The standard cooling mode:<\/strong> The unit actively cools the room to the set temperature whilst automatically dehumidifying the air at the same time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The dehumidification mode:<\/strong> This is usually indicated by a drop symbol. In this setting, the fan runs at a lower speed and the compressor focuses solely on cooling the slats to draw as much moisture as possible out of the air, without making the room itself freezing cold.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>The best setting for your wallet is to use the dehumidification mode wisely. Aim for a healthy relative humidity of 50% to 55% and don\u2019t set the air conditioning to the very lowest setting unnecessarily. Don\u2019t leave the unit running 24\/7 either. Use timers to stabilise the humidity during the most humid times of the day. Also, ensure regular maintenance. Clean filters and a clear condensate drain ensure that the air conditioning dehumidifies much more efficiently, which helps you save on your air conditioning bills.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>Although with <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/innova-monoblock\/\">an air-conditioner<\/a> So, whilst a dehumidifier can dehumidify \u2018perfectly\u2019, it is still important to remember that this is merely a mechanical stopgap for the underlying damp problem.

Many people therefore ask themselves: \u201cHow long does it take to dehumidify using air conditioning?\u201d The honest answer is that, as long as the source of the damp lies within the structure of your home, the process of dehumidifying the air will never stop.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as you switch off the air conditioning, the moisture from the damp walls or the cellar immediately evaporates back into the living space. Within a few minutes, <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-does-my-house-smell-musty-the-link-between-humidity-and-air-quality\/\">humidity<\/a> in the house is too high again, which means you have to switch the appliance back on. You\u2019re literally trying to mop up whilst the tap\u2019s still running.<\/p>\n<h3>The maths: How much does this stopgap measure really cost you?<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s put this to the test and work out the extra electricity consumption of your air conditioner when used as a dehumidifier. The formula for calculating your air conditioner\u2019s consumption is simple. Convert the number of watts the air conditioner uses into kilowatts by dividing by 1,000. You then multiply this figure by the number of hours the air conditioner runs at this wattage. This will give you the total number of kWh your air conditioner uses to dehumidify the air in your home.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s work through an example together. Suppose that, due to constant moisture infiltration, your air conditioning has to run for hours every day to keep the indoor climate comfortable:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In that case, the additional power consumption for an average air-conditioner can easily reach 450 watts per hour. If the air-conditioner runs at this setting for around 6 hours, that amounts to an additional consumption of 2.7 kWh per day.<\/li>\n<li>On a monthly basis, we can therefore easily work this out by multiplying the figure for your additional consumption by 30 days. In this case, we arrive at 81 kWh per month of additional consumption by your air conditioning.<\/li>\n<li>So, over the course of a year, we\u2019re already talking about hundreds of euros a year in extra electricity used purely to <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">an existing damp problem<\/a> to mask the problem rather than resolve it permanently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>So if that clammy, damp feeling comes rushing back the moment the air conditioning switches off, then <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-does-your-energy-bill-rise-with-a-damp-house\/\">your money is flowing straight out<\/a> through a constant energy leak.

The benefit here is that damp external walls lose their insulating properties and allow moisture to seep into the internal walls, whereas a dry fa\u00e7ade keeps the heat just outside in summer and the cold out in winter. This means that the air conditioning and heating systems do not have to work as hard.<\/li><\/span><span><li><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/concrete-injection\/\"><strong>Concrete injection:<\/strong><\/a> Cracks or voids in concrete basements or structures are injected with expanding polyurethane under high pressure. The advantage of this is that acute water infiltration stops immediately. This prevents localised evaporation and sudden spikes in humidity, which your air conditioning would otherwise have to cope with again.<\/li><\/span><span><li><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/ventilation\/\"><strong>Mechanical ventilation:<\/strong><\/a> A smart ventilation system, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/ventilation\/\">our ventilation system D<\/a>, it extracts the polluted and damp indoor air and then brings in dry, filtered outdoor air. The benefit here is that moisture from showering, cooking or breathing doesn\u2019t have a chance to build up. The ventilation system pre-conditions the air, ensuring that your air conditioning always starts in a dry environment.<\/li><\/span><span><li><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/plastering\/\"><strong>Professional plastering:<\/strong><\/a> Following damp-proofing treatment, the walls are finished with special salt-resistant membranes and breathable plaster. The benefit of this is that residual moisture and hygroscopic salts cannot adversely affect the indoor humidity again. It is the perfect finish for a stable indoor climate.<\/li><\/span><span><\/ul><\/span><span><p><\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Investing in damp control offers a clear return on investment (ROI). A targeted intervention by AquaConsult will put an end to years of using your air conditioning to dehumidify your home and will also prevent structural damage to your property.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>What\u2019s more, a dry home offers a double financial benefit. This is because humid air is much harder to heat than dry air. By systematically drying out your home, you\u2019ll not only reduce your air-conditioning energy costs in the summer, but also your heating bills during the winter. So you\u2019re not just buying dry indoor air; you\u2019re buying predictable, lower energy costs all year round.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"btn-container\" ><a role=\"button\"  href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/free-expertise\/\" class=\"custom-link btn btn-custom-typo font-673431 font-weight-500 text-initial no-letterspace border-width-0 btn_redesign btn-color-103889 btn-circle btn-icon-left\">Our offer<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-4\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-4\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-4\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container onepage-section\" data-label=\"bestrijden\" data-name=\"bestrijden\" id=\"row-unique-5\"><div class=\"row col-no-gutter single-top-padding double-bottom-padding penta-h-padding full-width row-parent\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-left align_left column_parent col-lg-12 half-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"font-673431 fontsize-102089 font-weight-500 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Conclusion: Get a return on your investment in moisture control<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>So the financial calculation is simple.
