FAQs

Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier to my Ducktown residence?

Our humid Appalachian climate means indoor air can hover above the recommended 45–50 % relative humidity for much of the year. Excess moisture encourages mold, dust-mites, musty odors, and can even warp hardwood floors and furniture. A professionally installed whole-home dehumidifier draws moist air through your HVAC return, wrings out the water, and sends dry, conditioned air back through your supply ducts. The result is healthier air, fewer allergy triggers, better comfort at higher thermostat settings, and lower cooling bills—benefits a portable room unit simply can’t match.

How does your precise dehumidifier installation process work?

1) Assessment – Our EPA-certified technician measures your home’s square footage, insulation, and average moisture load with hygrometers and blower-door data. 2) Sizing – We calculate the required pints-per-day removal capacity and match you with ENERGY STAR® equipment from Aprilaire, Honeywell, or Trane. 3) Integration – The dehumidifier is hard-ducted into the return or supply plenum, wired to its own dedicated drain and a smart thermostat or humidistat. 4) Testing – We verify airflow, condensate removal, and that humidity drops to the target range within 24 hours. 5) Walk-through – You get a tutorial, warranty paperwork, and first-year service coupon.

What size dehumidifier will my home need?

Size is governed by square footage, ceiling height, number of occupants, infiltration rate, and typical indoor moisture sources (cooking, showers, crawl spaces). Most Ducktown homes need 70–120 pint-per-day units, but larger lakefront properties or homes with finished basements may require 130–150 pint models. Oversizing wastes energy and undersizing runs constantly without reaching set-points, so we rely on ACCA Manual LL sizing charts and a moisture load calculation instead of one-size-fits-all rules of thumb.

Will the dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air conditioning system?

Yes. We install whole-home dehumidifiers in parallel with your forced-air furnace or heat pump. When humidity climbs above your set-point—even if the AC is off—the unit activates its own fan, pulls air through the HVAC return, and exhausts dry air into the supply plenum. This approach avoids adding static pressure, maintains balanced airflow, and uses the existing duct network for even moisture removal throughout the home. If you have a mini-split or radiant system, we can mount a ducted dehumidifier with a small dedicated duct loop instead.

How much does professional installation cost in Ducktown and how long will it take?

Installed prices typically range from $1,800 to $3,200, depending on unit capacity, duct modifications, electrical upgrades, and crawl-space or attic accessibility. The average job takes one business day: about 4-5 hours for equipment mounting and ductwork, 1 hour for electrical, and 1 hour for calibration and homeowner orientation. Financing and local utility rebates for ENERGY STAR® dehumidifiers may reduce your out-of-pocket cost; ask us to check current TVA incentives.

What maintenance is required after installation, and do you offer service plans?

Routine care is minimal: replace or rinse the unit’s MERV-8 filter every 6–12 months, keep the condensate drain clear, and vacuum the exterior grille as needed. The onboard control panel will alert you when service is due. During our annual precision HVAC tune-up, we also inspect the dehumidifier coil, clean the drain pan, verify refrigerant pressures, and update firmware.
