How much does it cost to run per day?
Running costs stay modest: a domestic unit often runs a few hours a day thanks to the built-in humidistat, which switches it off once the target humidity is reached.

Delivery is usually available around Salen, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Salen?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Salen can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
