How a dehumidifier works in Wool

Common questions in Wool
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Give us the rough square metres and we'll match the right model for Wool.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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?
Delivery is usually available around Wool, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Wool can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Wool?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Wool lose the damp they feed on.
