Will it push my electricity bill up?
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?

How long until I see a difference in Portloe?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Portloe can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Portloe?
