What a dehumidifier does for Glenald homes

Common questions in Glenald
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 Glenald.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
Can you deliver to Glenald?
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?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Glenald can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Glenald?
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.
