How a dehumidifier works in Girthon
Not all dehumidifiers are equal: a tiny moisture absorber won't touch a genuinely damp room in Girthon. Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with good extraction and, ideally, continuous drainage so you're not emptying the tank every few hours.

Your Girthon hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Girthon?
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 Girthon.
How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
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 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Girthon can take a little longer. 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. Keep things dry and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
