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 Melling.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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 it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?

How many days should I hire one for?

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 Melling lose the damp they feed on.
