FAQs
What types of dehumidifiers do you install and how do I know which is right for my Bean Station home?
We install both whole-home central dehumidifiers that tie directly into your existing heating and air-conditioning ductwork and high-capacity stand-alone units for spaces such as crawl spaces, basements, and workshops. During a free on-site assessment, our comfort specialist measures the square footage, insulation levels, and average indoor humidity of your Bean Station property, then runs a load calculation to match you with the correct unit size (rated in pints per day) and technology (standard refrigerant, desiccant, or hybrid). We’ll also review options such as ENERGY STAR®-rated models, HEPA filtration add-ons, and smart controls so you get the best performance and value.
How does integrating a dehumidifier with my HVAC system improve comfort and energy efficiency?
East Tennessee summers bring high humidity that can make 75 °F feel like 85 °F. A properly sized dehumidifier removes excess moisture (ideally keeping indoor relative humidity between 45 % and 55 %), which lets you set your thermostat 2–3 degrees higher without feeling sticky. That translates to about 3–5 % cooling-energy savings per degree. Lower humidity also reduces the workload on your air conditioner, extends equipment life, prevents mold growth, and protects wood floors, furniture, and electronics from moisture damage.
What is the typical installation process and how long will it take?
1. Pre-installation evaluation and quote (about 45 minutes). 2. Scheduling the job—most customers in Bean Station get an appointment within 3–5 business days. 3. Installation day (4–6 hours): We start by isolating power, fabricating any custom duct transitions, mounting the dehumidifier, tying it into the return-air plenum, adding a dedicated condensate drain with overflow protection, and wiring the integrated humidistat or smart thermostat. We finish with a full system test and homeowner walk-through. 4. Post-installation follow-up: We call you after one week to verify humidity levels and answer any questions.
Will a whole-home dehumidifier increase my electricity bills?
A high-efficiency unit typically draws 4–8 amps, adding roughly $15–$25 per month during peak summer use. However, most homeowners recoup that cost—and sometimes save money—by raising the thermostat and reducing air-conditioner runtime. Because the dehumidifier does not rely on the HVAC compressor, it can condition air at a fraction of the energy your AC needs to reach the same comfort level.
How often does the equipment need maintenance and can your team handle it?
Routine care is simple: rinse or replace the air filter every 2–3 months and make sure the drain line stays clear. Once a year we recommend a professional tune-up that includes coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure check, electrical inspection, and calibration of the humidistat. We offer low-cost maintenance plans that bundle your dehumidifier with HVAC inspections, priority scheduling, and parts discounts.
Do you offer warranties and financing options for state-of-the-art HVAC dehumidifier installations?
Yes. Most of our featured brands come with a 5-year parts and 10-year compressor warranty. When we install the unit—and as a certified dealer—we provide an additional 1-year labor warranty. Extended labor coverage up to 10 years is available. For budgets of all sizes, we partner with local credit unions and national lenders to offer 0 % promotional financing for 12–18 months or low-interest plans spread over 5–10 years. Our comfort advisor will walk you through the application, often giving you an approval decision on the spot.
