Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?

Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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 Stilton?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while a flooded space in Stilton may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
