We’re pleased to share that our Professor Richard Fitton of Energy House Labs appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Sliced Bread this week, discussing all things dehumidifiers alongside host Gregg Foot and Professor Cath Noakes.
The episode explores how dehumidifiers work, whether you really need one, and why they remain one of the few major household appliances not covered by UK energy regulations, meaning there’s currently no standard way to compare running costs.
Professor Fitton shares insights from Energy House Labs’ research into appliance efficiency and building performance, helping listeners better understand how to use these devices effectively or whether they’re needed at all.
“Dehumidifiers are one of the only major appliances that don’t require an energy label – so it’s really difficult for people to know how much they cost to run or how efficient they are.”
