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 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 The Wyke?

Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: dry the air and the black spots in The Wyke lose the damp they feed on.
