How a dehumidifier works in Stix

Your Stix hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
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 Stix.
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?
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 Stix straight away.
How many days should I hire one for?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Stix can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Stix?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Stix.
