How a dehumidifier works in Borgue
Not all dehumidifiers are equal: a tiny moisture absorber won't touch a genuinely damp room in Borgue. 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.

Common questions in Borgue
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Borgue.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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 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 Borgue?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Borgue can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
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.
