FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for indoor air quality in Calhoun?
Northwest Georgia’s warm, humid summers often push indoor relative humidity above the recommended 30-50 % range. Excess moisture encourages dust mites, mold, and bacterial growth that aggravate allergies and asthma. A whole-home dehumidifier tied into your heating and air conditioning system automatically removes the extra water vapor before it spreads, helping you breathe cleaner, healthier air year-round.
How does the installation process work and how long does it take?
After a free in-home humidity assessment, our Calhoun technicians size the dehumidifier, determine the best duct connection points, and schedule a convenient installation date. Most projects take 4–6 hours. We mount the unit near your air handler, tie it into the supply/return plenum, run a dedicated condensate drain, wire the control panel, and test the system. You’ll have minimal disruption and we leave the work area spotless.
Will adding a dehumidifier lower my heating and cooling costs?
Yes. Removing humidity lets you feel comfortable at higher summer thermostat settings and lower winter settings, typically trimming 5-15 % off annual energy bills. Your air conditioner will also cycle less because it’s no longer responsible for heavy moisture removal, extending equipment life and reducing repair costs.
What size dehumidifier does my home need?
Proper sizing is based on square footage, typical moisture load, insulation, and the capacity of your existing HVAC system. During our evaluation we measure indoor RH levels, inspect crawl spaces/basements, and calculate the daily pints of moisture that must be removed. Most Calhoun homes require a 70- to 100-pint-per-day unit, but larger or multi-level properties may need 120+ pints or multiple units for balanced coverage.
How much maintenance is required after installation?
Very little. Change or wash the unit’s MERV-rated air filter every 3-6 months, clear the condensate line once a year, and schedule our annual HVAC tune-up so we can clean the coil, confirm drain performance, and recalibrate the humidistat. These quick steps keep the dehumidifier operating efficiently for 10-15 years.
Can a dehumidifier eliminate mold and allergy problems completely?
Lowering humidity to the 40-50 % range drastically slows mold spores, dust mites, and bacterial growth, so most customers notice fewer musty odors and allergy symptoms within days. While no single product can remove all allergens, a whole-home dehumidifier combined with proper filtration, regular duct cleaning, and moisture control in crawl spaces provides a comprehensive solution for a healthier living environment.
