Possible Causes
Insufficient ventilation, Tado set to low temperatures for long periods, High indoor humidity from cooking or showers, No active humidity control in Tado-only setups
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Mold can be a health hazard; wear a mask and gloves when cleaning.
- Increase minimum temperature: Raise the minimum setpoint in affected rooms to reduce cold surfaces where condensation forms.
- Ventilate: Regularly open windows for short, intense airing (5–10 minutes) to exchange humid indoor air with drier outdoor air.
- Use extractor fans: Ensure kitchen and bathroom extractor fans are used during and after cooking or showering.
- Monitor humidity: Use a separate hygrometer to monitor humidity and aim for 40–60% relative humidity.
