Dehumidifier hire in Torran: FAQs

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 it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
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 quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Torran may need a week or more of continuous running.
Does this stop mould coming back in Torran?
A dehumidifier tackles the cause: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Torran.
