How dehumidifiers tackle damp in Oldhall

How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which controls the spend. No need to leave it on full all day.

If the need is short-term, hiring is the smarter move: no expensive unit sitting idle afterwards, and you get the right model for the problem in Oldhall straight away.
How long until I see a difference in Oldhall?
You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
