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

Your Carne hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp drop noticeably in Carne.
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 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 quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Carne may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Carne lose the damp they feed on.
