Window Condensation Control Checklist

To ensure that the air circulation system is being used optimally, here is a recommended checklist:

1. Are you leaving the Ducted Air Circulation System (ACS) on 24/7 during the cooler months?
2. Is a heater, such as a heat pump, left on overnight? This will keep the base temperature of the house up.
3. Is the living room filtered inlet being cleaned on a regular basis? If not, the air distribution will be throttled.
4. If you have a Condensation Control Module (eave or gable inlet, typically), has the outside filter being kept clean on a regular basis?
5. Have you tried turning up the temperature of the living room heater overnight? An increase in overnight temperature around the home means there is less chance that condensation can form.
6. Where possible, ensure that interjoining doors that lead to the living room inlet are kept ajar, particularly overnight. This will allow better circulation of air.
7. If you have a heat pump (air con), has it had an annual service? This will improve the heat capacity output. (HEG does heat pump servicing).

Try these steps for a few days. If you do not see an improvement, please contact HEG for further advice and evaluation.
