FAQs
Why do homes in Blaine need a whole-home dehumidifier?
Blaine experiences muggy summers and long transitional seasons when indoor humidity can stay above the recommended 30–50 %. Excess moisture causes sticky indoor air, musty odors, mold growth, wood-floor warping, and dust-mite infestation. A whole-home dehumidifier tied into your ductwork removes the extra moisture before it circulates through the house, protecting your health, furnishings, and HVAC equipment while making the home feel up to 4 °F cooler without lowering the thermostat.
How is a dehumidifier integrated with my existing HVAC system?
We install the dehumidifier in line with the return or supply plenum of your forced-air system. A dedicated drain line carries condensate to a floor drain or condensate pump. The unit is wired to your HVAC control board or to a separate digital humidistat so it can operate independently of heating or cooling calls. This whole-home setup treats every conditioned room, unlike portable units that only work in one space.
What size dehumidifier will I need?
Proper sizing is based on square footage, ceiling height, average seasonal humidity, number of occupants, and moisture sources such as crawlspaces or aquariums. During our free in-home assessment we perform a Manual J-based load calculation and measure real-time humidity levels. Most Blaine homes require units in the 70–120 pint-per-day range, but undersizing or oversizing can waste energy and reduce performance, so we tailor each recommendation.
What happens during a Maximum Performance Heating & Air Conditioning installation visit?
1) We arrive within a two-hour window, lay down floor protection, and review the job with you. 2) Electrical power is safely shut off and the duct connection points are cut and sealed with mastic. 3) The dehumidifier is set, leveled, and connected to the drain, ductwork, and dedicated 120 V or 240 V circuit. 4) The humidistat is mounted and calibrated; airflow and condensate flow are tested. 5) We walk you through the controls, maintenance tasks, and warranty, then clean the work area—all in about 3–5 hours.
How much will a professional dehumidifier installation cost and will it save energy?
Whole-home systems in Blaine typically run $1,800–$3,200 installed, depending on capacity, electrical work, and duct modifications. Utility rebates of $75–$150 may apply for ENERGY STAR® models, and our financing plans start at 0 % for 12 months. Because drier air feels cooler, most homeowners raise the thermostat 2–3 °F, trimming up to 10 % off summer cooling bills while reducing the load on the A/C, which can extend its life.
What maintenance and warranty support do you offer after installation?
The internal air filter should be rinsed or replaced every 6–12 months, and the drain line flushed annually. All units we install carry a 5-year parts warranty from the manufacturer, and Maximum Performance adds a 1-year labor warranty plus free first-year check-up. Customers on our Comfort Club plan receive priority service and discounted filter deliveries to keep the dehumidifier running at peak efficiency.
