What a dehumidifier does for Shortgate homes

Your Shortgate hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Shortgate?
Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp drop noticeably in Shortgate.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which controls the spend. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Delivery is usually available around Shortgate, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Shortgate can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
