Common questions in Fidden
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
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 Fidden.
How much does it cost to run per day?
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 long until I see a difference in Fidden?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Fidden.
