It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Portgower, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How quickly will it dry my room?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Portgower can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Portgower?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
