FAQs
Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier to my HVAC system in Delano?
Delano’s warm Central Valley climate often brings sticky indoor humidity, especially in late spring through early fall. A whole-home dehumidifier pulls excess moisture out of every room, lowering relative humidity to the 40–50 % comfort range. The benefits include reduced mold and mildew growth, fewer dust mites, better air quality for allergy and asthma sufferers, protection for wood floors and furniture, and a noticeable boost in comfort because you can set the thermostat a few degrees higher without feeling clammy. Less latent heat means your air conditioner cycles less, extending its life and saving energy.
How does your professional dehumidifier installation process work and how long will it take?
We start with a free in-home evaluation: measuring moisture levels, inspecting ductwork, and sizing the correct unit. Once you approve the proposal, we schedule installation—usually within a week. On installation day our NATE-certified technicians mount the dehumidifier in your supply-return plenum or a dedicated bypass configuration, run a gravity or condensate-pump drain line, wire the humidistat, seal and insulate all connections, and integrate the controls with your HVAC thermostat if desired. A typical job takes 3–5 hours and does not require you to vacate the home. Before we leave, we test system performance, demonstrate settings, and clean the work area thoroughly.
Will a dehumidifier raise my electric bill or help lower it?
A high-efficiency whole-home unit draws roughly 200–800 watts—similar to a window AC—but by removing latent heat it allows your main air conditioner to cycle off sooner. Studies by the Department of Energy show overall HVAC energy savings of 5–15 % when humidity is properly managed. Our top-tier models carry the latest ENERGY STAR certification and automatically modulate output, so any electricity they use is typically offset—and often exceeded—by the reduction in AC run time and the ability to set the thermostat a bit higher.
What size dehumidifier does my Delano home need?
Sizing is based on square footage, ceiling height, infiltration rate, and everyday moisture sources like cooking, showers, and irrigation. As a rule of thumb, a tight 2,000–3,500 sq ft home needs a 70–90 pint-per-day unit, while larger or leakier homes may need 100 pints or more. We conduct Manual J load calculations and use hygrometer readings to determine the exact capacity so the unit runs efficiently without short-cycling.
How much does professional dehumidifier installation cost and what affects the price?
In Delano our fully installed packages typically run $1,900–$3,500. The final price depends on the unit’s pint capacity, whether we integrate with existing supply/return ducts or install dedicated ductwork, electrical upgrades (if a new 120 V/15 A or 240 V circuit is required), condensate pump versus gravity drain, and optional smart-thermostat or home-automation tie-ins. Every quote is itemized and includes equipment, labor, local permits, and sales tax—no hidden fees.
What maintenance and warranty coverage come with your top-of-the-line dehumidifiers?
Routine care is simple: clean or replace the air-intake filter every 6 months, flush the drain line annually, and keep the unit area clear. We include a detailed owner’s guide and first-year checkup. Our preferred models carry a 5-year parts warranty and a 10-year sealed-system (compressor and coils) warranty; we back labor for one full year. An optional Comfort Club plan provides annual HVAC + dehumidifier tune-ups, priority service, and extended labor coverage for up to 10 years.
