Real estate sales dollar figures in November 2023 were down from the figures in November 2022, even though there was an equivalent number of total sales in the qathet region during both years.

Four reasons to use a dehumidifier in winter

Winter might not be the first season that comes to mind when you think about using a dehumidifier.

However, there are several compelling reasons to consider incorporating a dehumidifier into your home to control humidity levels during the winter months.

Here are four.

1. Combat condensation.

During winter, temperature differences between the warm indoors and the cold outdoors can lead to condensation on windows and walls. Dehumidifiers help reduce this excess moisture, preventing potential damage to your home.

2. Protect your health.

Excessive indoor moisture can create a breeding ground for mould and mildew. These pollutants can exacerbate respiratory problems and allergies. Additionally, too much moisture can lead

$1,600,000 • 4 BED HOME + 2 BED SUITE Working farm • 33 acres on Kelly Creek

to severe health issues like coughing, dizziness, headaches and sinus congestion.

Controlling humidity levels with a dehumidifier can help your family stay healthy.

3. Preserve your belongings. High humidity can

damage your belongings, including books, clothing, musical instruments and electronics. Using a dehumidifier in winter can protect your valuables from excess moisture and potential deterioration.

4. Improved air quality. A dehumidifier cleans and removes moisture from stale indoor air. The unit then circulates the clean air back into your home. You’ll enjoy improved air quality as you breathe in fresher-feeling air.

Regularly maintain and clean your dehumidifier to prevent mould and bacteria growth. Visit your local HVAC company or home improvement store to look for a dehumidifier for your home.

Don’t feel like tackling a major renovation project but still want to breathe new life into your space?

HERE ARE EIGHT AFFORDABLE DIYS YOU CAN DO TO TRANSFORM THE LOOK OF YOUR HOME IN NO TIME. 1. Swap out the hardware All it takes to change the look of your drawer, closet, dresser and interior doors is brand-new hardware. Choose modern, retro or timeless handles to match the style in each room.

2. Resurface the cabinets Give your kitchen a facelift by resurfacing the cabinets. You can either apply a self-adhesive coating to the exterior or replace the doors while keeping the cabinets intact. Painting them is an­other simple solution.

3. Replace the plumbing fixtures Upgrading your faucets and showerheads is a simple way to update your kitchen or bathroom.

Take the opportunity to reduce your environmental footprint by installing low-flow options.

4. Repaint the walls Repainting the walls is an easy way to revamp your space. Choose cool, light colours to make the space look bigger and airier. Warm, dark hues will help create a more intimate atmosphere.

5. Reupholster the furniture Couches, armchairs and kitchen or office chairs can all be given a makeover with new upholstery. For beautiful, long-lasting results, choose fabrics that don’t pill. Covers are an economical option but measure carefully to ensure you buy ones that fit.

6. Create an accent wall Liven up your bedroom, living room or study by painting a single wall in a contrasting colour or applying patterned wallpaper or panelling. You could also create an eye-catching faux brick or stone wall.

7. Replace the light fixtures Lighting plays a vital role in creating the right atmosphere. Swap your old light fixtures for stylish ones to change the look of your rooms, and switch to LED bulbs for better energy efficiency.

8. Add storage Adding a few well-placed shelves and hooks can help organize your space and drastically change its appearance. They’re also great for displaying accessories like plants and picture frames to elevate your decor.
