Your Birling 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 Birling.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
Running costs stay modest: a domestic unit often runs a few hours a day thanks to the built-in humidistat, which switches it off once the target humidity is reached.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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 quickly will it dry my room?
You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Does this stop mould coming back in Birling?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it struggles to come back in Birling.
