Insurance cover


Recommended Posts

Hi

Thank you for replying about my damp problem, some of you suggest we use electric de-humidifiers how do you stand with the house insurance if you leave electric supply on when you are not there, as we are not there from Nov to Easter.

Regards

Christine

I've just had a quick glance at our insurance documents (MMA) and I can't see anything about turning off electricity in case of absence so I think you would need to check your own small print or ask the company concerned.

Regarding an electric de-humidifer I think you are on to a non-starter anyway because they normally only have a smallish container (no more than about 2/3 litres I would guess) that has to be emptied regularly. I vaguely remember a posting from someone (possibly in House Renovations or Owning a Property sections) who had rigged up a drain from the de-humidifier to a sink, that might solve the problem.
