FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing a whole-home dehumidifier in Allardt?
A professionally installed dehumidifier keeps indoor humidity in the ideal 40â50 % range, preventing mold and mildew growth, protecting wood floors and furniture from warping, reducing musty odors, and making your air-conditioning system more efficient. Because dry air feels cooler, you can often raise the thermostat a few degrees and still feel comfortable, which can lower summer energy costs.
How can I tell if my Allardt home actually needs a dehumidifier?
Common warning signs include persistent condensation on windows, a damp or musty smell in basements or crawl spaces, visible mold or mildew on walls or ceilings, frequent allergy or respiratory complaints, and wood or drywall that shows swelling or warping. If youâre unsure, we offer humidity testing that measures indoor relative humidity over a 24-hour period. Results above 55 % RH almost always justify a dehumidifier.
What size or capacity dehumidifier should I choose?
Capacity is rated in pints of moisture removed per day. The correct size depends on home square footage, the number of stories, existing HVAC capacity, and the severity of moisture problems. Our technician performs a load calculation, taking moisture infiltration, insulation levels, and air-change rate into account. This ensures you get a unit that cycles properly without short-cycling (oversized) or running continuously (undersized).
What does professional dehumidifier installation involve and how long will it take?
Most whole-home units are tied into your existing supply/return ductwork or mounted in a crawl space. A typical install takes 4â6 hours and includes: (1) selecting a mounting location; (2) running a dedicated condensate drain line or integrating with an existing pump; (3) wiring the unit to a separate 120 V or 240 V circuit and humidity controller; (4) sealing all connections to prevent air leaks; and (5) testing for proper airflow and condensate removal. We clean the work area and walk you through the control settings before we leave.
Will running a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
A dehumidifier does use electricity, but in many cases the overall impact is neutral or even positive. Because drier air feels cooler, homeowners frequently raise their AC setpoint by 2â3 °F, which can save more energy than the dehumidifier consumes. In addition, your air conditioner no longer has to remove as much latent moisture, so it cycles less and lasts longer.
How do I maintain my dehumidifier and what warranty is provided?
Maintenance is simple: replace or clean the air filter every 3â6 months, make sure the condensate line stays clear, and vacuum the exterior grille when you change HVAC filters. We include a one-year labor warranty and the manufacturer provides a 5-year parts warranty on the compressor and sealed system. Annual or semi-annual tune-ups are available through our Comfort Club to keep the unit running at peak efficiency.
