Your Knock 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. Give us the rough square metres and we'll match the right model for Knock.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
Running costs stay modest: 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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Knock, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Knock?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Knock 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: dry the air and the black spots in Knock stop spreading.
