shop moisture

[john worrell]

i have a lot of condensation this time of year with the temp range and being an accountant i dont spend too much time in the shop for the next couple of months, therefore; not any heat going on from woodstove. any suggestions on what to do...dehumidifier or something? thanks.

What temperature are you at? Dehumidifiers work, but will probably ice up if it is too cold.

I have had the same problem in my shop
3 things I did helped


Installed a cieling fan and keep it on low 24/7. This keeps the air moving in the shop and reduces condensation on my ceiling, tools and floor
reduce exterior air infiltration
installed a window air conditioner. Works on the same princible as a dehumidier but you get the added benefit of cooling
