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?
Delivery is usually available around Whitwell, 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: condensation clears in days, while a flooded space in Whitwell may need a week or more of continuous running.
Does this stop mould coming back in Whitwell?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
