What you need is good ventilation or a dehumidifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Depends on where the problem is coming from. An in room burner will draw air into the room and up the chimney. This increases airflow through the house which generally will help with condensation problems - the water from combustion is blown out of the chimney top as steam.

I wasn't sure if this true I've googled it with no luck. I've got a dehumidifier and fans, condensation is a nightmare. Thanks both of you :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
