Your Dufftown hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Dufftown?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Give us the rough square metres and we'll match the right model for Dufftown.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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 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 Dufftown may need a week or more of continuous running.
Does this stop mould coming back in Dufftown?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: dry the air and the black spots in Dufftown stop spreading.
