Your Lunna hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a unit suited to cool spaces and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Lunna.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Delivery is usually available around Lunna, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Lunna may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
