FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier so important for homes in Calhoun, GA?
Northwest Georgia’s long, humid summers routinely push indoor relative humidity above 60 %. At that level dust-mites, mold, and bacteria thrive, causing musty odors, aggravated allergies, and warped woodwork. A properly sized dehumidifier keeps RH in the 45–50 % range, protecting furnishings, improving air quality, and making your air-conditioner feel 2–3 °F cooler. The result is a healthier, more comfortable home and lower cooling bills.
How does a professionally installed dehumidifier integrate with my existing HVAC system?
Our technicians mount the dehumidifier in the return-air plenum or in a dedicated bypass loop. Humid air is pulled through the unit’s cold coil where moisture condenses and is sent to a condensate drain or pump. The dry, conditioned air is then routed back into the supply ductwork so every room benefits. The unit’s onboard humidistat can operate independently or tie into your smart thermostat, letting the HVAC fan circulate air when humidity, rather than temperature, is the problem.
What should I expect on installation day and how long does it take?
After a pre-installation walkthrough, most projects take 3–5 hours. We protect floors, shut off power to the air handler, cut precise openings in the ductwork, and seal all connections with mastic to prevent leaks. A dedicated 120 V or 240 V electrical circuit and an overflow safety switch are installed for code compliance. Before we leave, we test condensate drainage, calibrate the humidistat, and show you how to adjust settings and replace the filter.
How much does a whole-home dehumidifier installation cost in Calhoun?
For the average 2,000 – 3,000 sq ft home, installed prices range from $2,200 to $3,500. Variables include unit capacity (70 vs. 100 pints per day), whether a condensate pump or new electrical circuit is required, and accessibility of ductwork. We provide flat-rate quotes up front, and many customers offset the investment with energy-efficiency rebates from local utilities or 0 % financing through our partner programs.
What maintenance is required and how often should the unit be serviced?
1) Replace or wash the dehumidifier’s MERV-rated filter every 6 months (more often if you have pets). 2) Pour a cup of diluted vinegar down the condensate-line clean-out twice a year to prevent algae. 3) Check that the humidistat is set between 45 % and 50 %. We recommend an annual HVAC & IAQ tune-up each spring; our technician will clean the coil, verify refrigerant pressures, test the float switch, and recalibrate controls to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
Can a dehumidifier really improve indoor air quality and lower my energy bills?
Absolutely. By maintaining 45–50 % RH, you hinder mold spores, bacteria, and dust-mites, leading to fewer allergy and asthma flare-ups. Drier air also feels cooler, allowing you to raise the thermostat 2–3 °F in summer, which can cut cooling costs by up to 10 %. In winter, the system can be set to remain idle, so you don’t over-dry the air. Many customers notice less dust and cleaner evaporator coils, which further boosts HVAC efficiency.
