Also, if you're getting a de-humidifier get a hygrometer from the local garden centre ( under Ł10 ) to tell you what the humidity is. Much under 65% the air is quite dry so you can switch your de-humidifier off - will also tell you how effective your dehumidifier is and whether you need 2 ( or a bigger one ). If you're good with electrics you could rig up a switch to put your dehumidifier on as the humidity comes up to 65-70%.

Ah fair enough, didnt realise you meant all the time, not suitable for a space heater then.
