FAQs
Why is whole-home dehumidification so important for houses in Englewood?
Englewood’s coastal location means outdoor relative humidity routinely sits above 70 %. When that damp air infiltrates your home it can leave you feeling sticky even at normal thermostat settings, promote mold growth, warp wood floors and cabinets, and make your air-conditioner run longer. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier keeps indoor humidity in the 45–50 % range, eliminating that clammy feeling, protecting furnishings, and reducing the load on your A/C system.
How is a dehumidifier installed with my existing heating and air-conditioning equipment?
Our technicians mount the dehumidifier in the attic, crawl space, or mechanical room and tie it directly into the supply and/or return ductwork. The unit has its own humidistat and blower, so it can pull moist air from the return side, remove the excess water, and send the dried air back into the supply plenum. A dedicated condensate drain or condensate pump safely removes the collected water. The control wiring is integrated with your thermostat so the dehumidifier can operate independently of—or in conjunction with—your air conditioner for maximum efficiency.
What size dehumidifier will my Englewood home need?
Sizing depends on square footage, ceiling height, typical indoor moisture sources (cooking, showers, occupants), and how tight or leaky the building envelope is. During our free in-home assessment we use ACCA Manual DJ or equivalent load-calculation software to determine the exact pint-per-day capacity you need. Most Englewood single-family homes fall in the 70- to 120-pint range, but larger or multistory homes may require 155+ pints or even multiple units.
What benefits should I expect once the system is running?
You’ll notice cooler-feeling air at the same thermostat setting, a dramatic reduction in musty odors, and fewer signs of moisture on windows and walls. By letting the dehumidifier handle latent (moisture) load, your air-conditioner can focus on sensible (temperature) load, often leading to 10–15 % lower summer energy bills. Lower humidity also discourages dust mites, mold spores, and bacteria, so allergy and asthma sufferers usually breathe easier.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical retrofit installation takes 4–6 hours for a single unit. We schedule arrival windows that work for you, lay down protective drop cloths, and keep noise and dust to a minimum. Power and HVAC will only be shut off briefly while we make final electrical and duct connections, so you can remain in the home throughout the process.
What kind of maintenance and warranty coverage come with the dehumidifier?
Whole-home units are low-maintenance. You’ll need to change or clean the air filter every 6–12 months and pour a cup of vinegar in the condensate trap once or twice a year. During our annual Climate Comfort Service Plan visit we also check refrigerant pressures, clean the coil, and verify drain flow. Most manufacturers provide a 5-year parts warranty; we include a 1-year labor warranty and offer affordable extended-coverage options.
