What a dehumidifier does for Craigengillan homes

Common questions in Craigengillan
What size dehumidifier do I need in Craigengillan?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Craigengillan.
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.
Can you deliver to Craigengillan?
Delivery is usually available around Craigengillan, 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 feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
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.
