Thorair supplies commercial LGR dehumidifiers, air movers, HEPA air scrubbers and thermal imaging cameras to restoration companies, builders, strata managers and homeowners across Canberra. Every unit ships from our Queensland warehouse with same-day dispatch, SAA and ASA certification and a two-year replacement warranty, and delivery to Canberra typically takes two to four business days.
Drying buildings in Canberra
Canberra's problem is cold. Winter nights below zero, days that barely reach 12 degrees and well-insulated, tightly sealed homes produce condensation on windows and in wardrobes, and mould in bedrooms and ensuites from June to September. Water losses in this climate dry slowly unless you add heat and a dehumidifier with reliable defrost control.
The January 2020 hailstorm damaged thousands of roofs and cars across the ACT and the rain that followed got into ceilings across Belconnen, the inner north and Woden. Queanbeyan and the Molonglo flood in wet years, and burst pipes after hard frosts are a reliable winter event in older suburbs.

Frequently asked questions
Do Thorair dehumidifiers work in Canberra winters?
Yes. Thermostat defrost control keeps the coil clear down to about 10 degrees. On very cold jobs, close the room, run the air movers to add a few degrees of heat, and the LGR unit will do the rest.
How fast can equipment get to Canberra?
Two to four business days by road after same-day dispatch from Queensland. Urgent single units can go by air; call 1300 263 551 for a quote.
What does a home mould set-up look like?
For a bedroom or ensuite mould problem, a 50L dehumidifier plus a HEPA air scrubber running for three or four days brings humidity down and clears spores from the air while the source is fixed.
