FAQs

How do I know if I need a dehumidifier in my home?

If you are experiencing high humidity levels at home, evidenced by condensation on windows, mold growth, musty odors, or a sticky or damp feeling indoors, a dehumidifier may be necessary. High humidity can lead to health issues and structural damage, hence it's important to maintain an optimal indoor humidity level of 30-50%.

What size dehumidifier do I need for my space?

The size of the dehumidifier needed depends on the square footage of the area and the level of humidity. For small rooms (up to 300 sq. ft.), a 30-pint dehumidifier is usually sufficient. Medium rooms (500-1000 sq. ft.) may require a 50-pint unit, while large spaces (1500+ sq. ft.) could need a 70-pint or larger unit. Our expert technicians can help you select the right size for your specific needs.

How does the installation process work?

The installation process starts with a thorough assessment of your home’s humidity levels and specific needs. Our technicians will then recommend the appropriate dehumidifier model and proceed with the installation. This generally involves placing the unit in a suitable location, connecting it to a drainage system for continuous operation, and ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your existing HVAC system if necessary.

Can a dehumidifier help with allergies and asthma?

Yes, a dehumidifier can significantly help reduce the symptoms of allergies and asthma. By maintaining lower humidity levels, it reduces the growth of mold, mites, and other allergens which thrive in moist environments. This creates a healthier indoor air quality, making it easier to breathe.

How often do I need to maintain my dehumidifier?

Regular maintenance is crucial for the efficient operation of your dehumidifier. Depending on the unit and usage, filters should typically be cleaned or replaced every few months. The water collection tank, if applicable, should be emptied regularly unless your unit is connected to a continuous drainage system. We recommend scheduling annual professional inspections to ensure optimal performance.

How much will a dehumidifier installation cost?

The cost of dehumidifier installation can vary based on the unit size, features, and complexity of the installation. On average, homeowners can expect to spend between $500 and $2,000, including the price of the dehumidifier. For a detailed quote tailored to your specific needs, it’s best to schedule a consultation with our technicians who can provide an accurate estimate.
