Your Breakish hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Breakish?
Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp ease off in Breakish.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Breakish, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
