FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important in Flintville’s climate?
Flintville sits in the humid Tennessee Valley, where outdoor moisture levels often exceed 60–70 percent from late spring through early fall. High indoor humidity promotes mold, dust mites, musty odors, and an uncomfortable “sticky” feeling even when your air conditioner is running. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier pulls excess moisture out of the air as it circulates through your HVAC ductwork, keeping relative humidity in the ideal 45–50 percent range. This improves comfort, protects wood floors and furnishings from warping, and helps your HVAC system cool more efficiently.
How do I know what size dehumidifier my home needs?
Our technicians perform a detailed load calculation that factors in your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, air-leakage rate, and typical indoor activities that add moisture (cooking, showers, etc.). We also measure current indoor humidity with professional instruments. From this data we match your home to a dehumidifier rated in pints per day of moisture removal. Oversizing wastes energy, while undersizing leaves rooms damp, so professional sizing is crucial.
What is involved in professional dehumidifier installation and how long does it take?
Most installations are completed in a single day. We mount the dehumidifier in a central location—usually the HVAC closet, basement, or crawl space—then tie it into your existing supply and/or return ductwork. A dedicated condensate drain line is installed so collected water exits safely, and we wire the unit to a separate 120- or 240-volt circuit depending on model requirements. Before we leave, we calibrate the onboard humidistat, test the system through multiple cycles, and show you how to operate the controls.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
The unit does use electricity, but homeowners typically see little to no net increase—and often a decrease—because lower humidity lets you set the thermostat 2–3 °F higher while feeling just as cool. In addition, your air conditioner runs shorter cycles because it’s no longer burdened with heavy latent (moisture) loads, which can offset the dehumidifier’s consumption. ENERGY STAR® models we install in Flintville draw as little as 4–6 amps while removing up to 100 pints of water per day.
How do I maintain my dehumidifier after installation?
Maintenance is simple. Every 6–12 months, rinse or replace the air filter, vacuum dust from the intake grille, and verify the drain line is clear and pitched correctly. Our Comfort Club customers receive these checks during their semi-annual HVAC tune-ups, including humidity sensor calibration and a full condensate drain flush. With routine care, most whole-home units last 10–15 years.
Are there rebates or financing options available for dehumidifier installation in Flintville?
Yes. As a TVA EnergyRight contractor, we can help you apply for utility rebates that often cover $100–$250 of the equipment cost when you install an ENERGY STAR-rated dehumidifier. We also offer 0% interest financing for up to 18 months with approved credit, plus bundled discounts when installation is paired with a new heat pump or air conditioner.
