What a dehumidifier does for Ashburton homes
Not all dehumidifiers are equal: a tiny moisture absorber won't touch a genuinely damp room in Ashburton. Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with good extraction and, ideally, an auto-drain hose so you're not emptying the tank every few hours.

Your Ashburton hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Give us the rough square metres and we'll match the right model for Ashburton.
How much does it cost to run per day?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Ashburton, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Ashburton?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
