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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?

How long until I see a difference in Glenariff?
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.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
