No, but I have a bad chest as a result of a previous bout. *Any infection

Get the dehumidifier, it will stop mould as mould doesn't grow when its dry.

If you have the cash you could get an air (or ground) sourced heat pump,
they provide about three times as much heat out as the electricity in, there
are also grants (or were a few months ago) if you are old or on benefits.
Air sourced heat pumps start at about £400 ea., ground ones are a lot more
but are the equivalent of a central heating boiler.

Air source heat pumps don't work well when you need them, ie when
it's cold. The big advantage with all heat pumps is there is virtually
no maintenance compared with a gas boiler.
