It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Thickwood, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Thickwood may need a week or more of continuous running.
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.
