Many homeowners think that with the start of winter and the heating being on all the time, condensation should be a thing of the past.
However, as your Bradford condensation specialist, it's essential to explain that yes heating does warm up the air but windows and walls are still cold. Warm, moist air hitting cold surfaces leads to condensation or streaming windows. The most effective solution is to consider a new extractor fan and typically, a replacement cost starts at around £280. Work includes electrical work like running cables from the consumer unit and wiring in the extractor fan to a lighting circuit. Complexities on a project might include tight spaces like narrow bathrooms or scaffolding for any high exterior walls. Quality Electrician have been providing condensation solutions to homeowners for years so you’re guaranteed expert help.
How do I know if I have a condensation problem at my home in Bradford?
Homeowners get in touch with Quality Electrician as soon as summer is over as they notice excessive condensation on walls and windows. You might notice black mould growing in the corners of the bathroom or corners on the ceiling. A homeowner at Hastings Avenue, Bradford contacted Quality Electrician, as they noticed musty and damp odours as soon as the heating went on. "Everything was fine all summer” is something I frequently hear from my clients and yes the heating does help but the moist air needs somewhere to go, like an exit point. Which is why I always look at the extractor fan at the property. The fan at Hasting Avenue was about 8 years old and was the original fan at the property when the homeowners moved in. As the fan made the typical whirring sound, they thought the extractor fan was doing its job but actually the motor had deteriorated quite a bit. My recommendation was to upgrade the bathroom extractor fan as any source of water is a hot spot for condensation build up.

Why Quality Electrician are the only condensation specialist you need in Bradford.
Condensation issues in Bradford homes is very popular as many of the properties belong to a much older housing stock and often include poorly installed extractor fans. Very much like the Victorian terraced house on Hastings Avenue.
While having the heating on does help a little, homeowners won’t really eliminate condensation problems unless airflow and moisture build up are dealt with properly. That's exactly why working with Quality Electrician, a Bradford condensation specialist is the best option, it’s the only way to take action before mould sets in.
