It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Colgrain, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Colgrain?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Colgrain may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
