FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-home dehumidifier for my Greeneville residence?
Greeneville’s warm summers and frequent rainfall push indoor humidity well above the recommended 30–50 % range. Excess moisture encourages mold, mildew, dust mites, wood warping, and that persistent musty smell. A professionally installed whole-home dehumidifier ties into your HVAC system to pull moisture from every conditioned room, improving indoor air quality, protecting furnishings, and helping your air conditioner run more efficiently. Many homeowners notice they can set the thermostat a few degrees higher and still feel comfortable, leading to lower cooling costs.
How does a dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Our technicians mount the dehumidifier in line with your home’s return or supply ductwork and wire it to the HVAC blower and a dedicated drain. When humidity rises above your chosen set-point, the unit draws air through an internal refrigerant coil that condenses water vapor and directs it safely to a floor drain or condensate pump. The now-drier air is reheated slightly to room temperature and redistributed through your ducts. Because the system uses your current blower, there’s no need for portable units in every room and no additional noise or clutter.
What size or capacity dehumidifier do I need?
Capacity is measured in pints of moisture removed per day and depends on your home’s square footage, layout, insulation quality, and typical moisture sources (showers, cooking, crawl spaces, etc.). During our free in-home assessment we perform a Manual J load calculation, inspect crawl spaces and attics, and measure existing humidity levels. Most Greeneville single-family homes require 70–120 pints per day, but basements or large open floor plans may warrant a 130+ pint model. Correct sizing ensures efficient operation without short-cycling or unnecessary run-time.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Standard installations are completed in one visit—typically 3–5 hours. We schedule at your convenience, lay down protective floor coverings, and work entirely in mechanical areas (crawl space, utility room, or basement). Power is shut off only at the HVAC disconnect, so household electricity and water remain available. Once installed, we test for proper drainage, calibrate the humidistat, and walk you through operation. Most customers are surprised how seamless the process is and notice drier, fresher air within the first 24 hours.
Will running a dehumidifier noticeably increase my energy bill?
A whole-home unit draws roughly the same wattage as a window air conditioner (4–8 amps), but it usually runs fewer hours because it removes moisture more effectively than your AC alone. By reducing humidity, you can set your thermostat 2–3 °F higher and feel the same comfort, which often offsets or even exceeds the dehumidifier’s electrical cost. Many Greeneville clients report net savings of 5–15 % on summer energy bills, plus reduced wear on their air-conditioning compressor.
What maintenance and warranty coverage do you provide?
We install premium Aprilaire and Honeywell units that carry 5-year factory parts warranties. Our workmanship is backed by a 1-year labor guarantee. Maintenance is simple: replace or rinse the MERV-rated filter every 6–12 months and ensure the drain line stays clear—services we include during our annual Precision Comfort Club tune-up. We also check refrigerant pressures, clean coils, and recalibrate the humidistat to keep your system running at peak performance for years to come.
