How a dehumidifier works in Highlane

Common questions in Highlane
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Tell us the room size and we'll match the right model for Highlane.
How much does it cost to run per day?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
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 many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Highlane may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
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.
