Your Horton hire questions
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 Horton.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
Running costs stay reasonable: a domestic unit often runs a few hours a day thanks to the built-in humidistat, which switches it off once the target humidity is reached.
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 Horton may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Horton lose the damp they feed on.
