Will it push my electricity bill up?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Can you deliver to Heale?
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.
