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 Lower Wraxall.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
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 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 Lower Wraxall?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Lower Wraxall can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
