Your Taxal hire questions

Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
Running costs stay reasonable: 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 it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Delivery is usually available around Taxal, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Taxal?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Taxal may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
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.
