Common questions in Felden
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a unit suited to cool spaces and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Felden.
How much does it cost to run per day?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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 many days should I hire one for?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Felden can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
