Your Bowtrees 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 Bowtrees.
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?
If the need is short-term, hiring is the smarter move: no expensive unit sitting idle afterwards, and you get the right model for the problem in Bowtrees straight away.
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.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
