What size dehumidifier do I need in Inchture?
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 Inchture.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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.

You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Does this stop mould coming back in Inchture?
A dehumidifier tackles the cause: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it struggles to come back in Inchture.
