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?
Delivery is usually available around Howe Green, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Howe Green?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Howe Green can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
