Depending on the model (your link doesn't work) a dehumidifier could be costing you a fair amount, particularly if it's on constant...why do you need it, what problem do you have?

Polystyrene tiles used to be considered a fire hazard because they drip on to the floor and give of nasty fumes when there's a fire....but perhaps modern ones are better, I don't know???

No you do not need to move it around the room as it circulates the air anyway

How much do you pay for a kilowatt of electricity, you'll be using roughly one kilowatt every four hours so it should be easy enough to work out from that?
