Your Allancreich hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a unit suited to cool spaces and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Allancreich.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which controls the spend. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Yes — to dry out a cellar or get through a damp spell, a few days' hire is often enough and costs far less than buying.
How long until I see a difference in Allancreich?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Allancreich can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
