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

How many days should I hire one for?

Does this stop mould coming back in Carbellow?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: dry the air and the black spots in Carbellow lose the damp they feed on.
