Your Scaur hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Scaur?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Tell us the room size and we'll match the right model for Scaur.
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.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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 Scaur straight away.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Scaur may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
A dehumidifier tackles the cause: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Scaur.
