How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Lochmaddy, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Lochmaddy?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Lochmaddy may need a week or more of continuous running.
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.
