How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Give us the rough square metres and we'll match the right model for Sandaig.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
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 long until I see a difference in Sandaig?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Sandaig may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
