With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.

How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Balthayock may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
