Common questions in Milltown
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Milltown.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Can you deliver to Milltown?
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 many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Milltown may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Milltown.
