Indoor allergy is very common at this time of year, particularly as the air is not circulating so well and our homes become air bound and damp. Mould allergy is very common, though many people don't recognise that they have it.

The main symptoms for mould allergies are hay fever like symptoms- often mistaken for a cold as you do not expect to have hay fever in the winter! Symptoms can include:

Irritation of the eyes, nose and throat Dry mucous membranes Dry skin, headaches Frequent nasal symptoms Breathing difficulties (insert pic of itchy eyes and Abnormal taste sensation hayfever symptoms) Distorted sense of smell Tiredness Dizziness Lack of concentration Nausea

Mould is often found in areas that have high humidity levels. Mould spores are carried through the air and can cause severe allergic reactions. Allergymatters highly recommend the use of a dehumidifier to help prevent your mould allergy. Dehumidifiers dry out the air and maintain humidity levels at about 50% relative humidity which will prevent mould and mildew growth.

Ebac: Ebac were the first British company to recognise a need for dehumidifiers in our homes. They discovered that moisture could be a potential problem, and one that could easily be avoided - in spite of the unpredictable nature of the British weather! Since Ebac started in the 1980's, they have been the UK 's number one dehumidifier brand.

Ebac is constantly innovating, working hard to improve the products and services they offer. Now, the range of dehumidifiers includes some of the quietest and highest-performing models available - which are the features that customers continually ask us for. The dehumidifiers have been designed to be most effective in the weather we face in Britain , day in, day out. It means they'll always work efficiently, whatever the conditions, as opposed to most other dehumidifiers that are only efficient in warmer and more humid climates. This is why Ebac quotes a lower - and more realistic - extraction rate than most other dehumidifiers . In other words, if there isn't a high level of moisture in the air in the first place, they won't waste valuable energy trying to remove it!
