FAQs

Why should I install a dehumidifier in my Louisville home?

Installing a dehumidifier in your Louisville home can help maintain a comfortable and healthier indoor environment. Louisville experiences high humidity levels, especially in the summer, which can lead to mold growth, dust mites, and musty odors. A dehumidifier reduces moisture levels, protecting your home and improving air quality.

How does a dehumidifier work with my existing HVAC system?

A dehumidifier can be integrated with your existing HVAC system or used as a standalone unit. When integrated, it works alongside your heating and cooling systems to maintain optimal humidity levels. The dehumidifier draws in humid air, removes the moisture, and then releases dry air back into your home, ensuring balanced and comfortable conditions.

What size dehumidifier do I need for my home?

The size of the dehumidifier you need depends on the square footage of the area you want to dehumidify and the average humidity level. Generally, larger spaces with higher humidity require more powerful units. Our professionals can assess your home and recommend the appropriate size based on factors like room size, humidity levels, and usage patterns.

How do I maintain my dehumidifier after installation?

Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance of your dehumidifier. This includes cleaning or replacing the air filter, checking and emptying the water reservoir, and ensuring proper airflow around the unit. Our technicians offer routine maintenance services to keep your dehumidifier running efficiently and trouble-free.

Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?

A dehumidifier may increase your energy usage slightly; however, the benefits typically outweigh this cost, especially in humid climates like Louisville. By maintaining proper humidity levels, your HVAC system can operate more efficiently, potentially leading to overall energy savings. Additionally, lower humidity levels contribute to a more comfortable environment, potentially reducing the need for air conditioning.

Can a dehumidifier help with allergies and asthma?

Yes, a dehumidifier can significantly improve indoor air quality, which is beneficial for individuals with allergies and asthma. By reducing excess moisture, it helps prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and dust mites, which are common allergens. A drier environment reduces the presence of these allergens, making it easier to breathe and reducing allergy symptoms.
