AndrewTD: [snip] I'd be interested to hear from others whether aircon units (heatpumps) really do fix condensation issues.
It depends on what else you are putting into the air ie. steam from cooking, showers etc but certainly air conditioners are a dry source of heat however people tend to think because supposedly you can set a aircon to dehumidify it will always dehumidify.
That is not the case. It will only dehumidifiy when set to dehumidify or when set to cold and even then only when it is hot enough as it affectivly is just cooling. Obviously this is no good in winter which is when you need dehumidifying.
We have aircon for heating but we still run a dehumidifier over winter.
