Heater and dehumidifier hire in Malaysia: what it costs

Updated 4 November 2026

Heater and dehumidifier hire in Malaysia is usually quoted per month: a dehumidifier rental starts from about RM 35 a month, and most published ranges sit between RM 30 and RM 60 a month, depending on the model. These figures are approximate, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. To get a price for your room size and lease term, post a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Prices are quoted per job, so the final figure depends on these points:

• the unit you need (heater or dehumidifier) and its power or capacity
• the room or area it will serve, in square metres
• the lease term, from a few weeks to several months
• the quantity, and whether delivery and installation are included
• the collateral or deposit the seller asks for

Water heaters need a licensed wireman

A water heater installation in Malaysia must be done by, or supervised by, a licensed wireman registered with Suruhanjaya Tenaga, the Energy Commission. If your rental includes installation, ask who will connect the unit and check the wireman's licence before the work starts. Say in your request whether the unit is portable or fixed, so the seller can tell you whether a wireman is needed.

Humidity in a hot, wet climate

Malaysia is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season. Dehumidifiers are often needed when the rains keep the air damp for weeks, in rooms, stores and workshops. Give the seller the room size in square metres and say whether the room is closed or open to outside air, because that changes the unit size you need.

Monthly rental terms and deposits

Home-appliance rental in Malaysia is often offered per month, with a starting price around RM 35 for a unit and terms that vary by model. Ask what the monthly figure includes, whether delivery and collection are free, and what deposit or collateral you must leave. Compare quotes for the same unit on the same term, so the figures are comparable.

What to write in your request

Say which unit you need (heater or dehumidifier), its power or capacity, the area it will serve in square metres, how many units, and the lease term in weeks or months. Name your city: Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, George Town, Ipoh or Johor Bahru. Add whether you need delivery, installation or collection, and what collateral you can offer. A clear request lets sellers quote one exact monthly price.
