Common questions in Hythe
What size dehumidifier do I need in Hythe?
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 Hythe.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much 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 long until I see a difference in Hythe?

Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
