FAQs
Why is installing a whole-home dehumidifier important for Flintville homes?
Flintville sits in the Tennessee Valley, where outdoor relative humidity frequently hovers above 70 % from late spring through early fall. Excess moisture seeps indoors, leading to sticky air, musty odors, mold growth, dust-mite proliferation, and warped woodwork. A whole-home dehumidifier keeps indoor humidity between 30 % and 50 %, improving comfort, protecting the building structure, and reducing triggers for allergies and asthma.
How does a dehumidifier tie in with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
We install the dehumidifier in your HVAC supply or return plenum, so it treats the full volume of air every time the system runs. The unit has its own fan, refrigerant coil, and condensate drain line, plus an onboard or wall-mounted humidistat that measures humidity independently of the thermostat. When indoor moisture rises above your set point, the dehumidifier automatically turns on—even if heating or cooling is off—so you enjoy balanced, whole-house comfort year-round.
What size dehumidifier will I need, and how do you determine it?
Sizing is based on home square footage, number of occupants, insulation levels, and typical indoor humidity readings. During our free in-home humidity audit, a comfort specialist measures baseline relative humidity, reviews your HVAC layout, and calculates the moisture load in pints per day using ACCA Manual H guidelines. We then recommend a unit—usually 70-, 95-, or 120-pint models—that provides continuous moisture removal without short-cycling or excessive energy use.
Will running a dehumidifier raise my energy bills?
A high-efficiency whole-home unit draws between 4 and 7 amps—about the same as a window AC—but it can actually lower overall energy costs. Drier air feels cooler, allowing you to raise the thermostat 2–3 °F in summer without losing comfort. Your air-conditioner also runs shorter cycles because it doesn’t have to remove as much latent heat. Many customers see their cooling expenses drop by 5–10 % after installation.
What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?
Routine care is simple. Clean or replace the air filter every 3–6 months, flush the condensate drain annually, and have the coil inspected for dust buildup during your regular HVAC tune-up. Our Enhanced Air Quality Maintenance Plan covers two visits per year, including filter changes, coil cleaning, humidity calibration, and a full safety check to keep your warranty intact.
Are rebates or financing available for dehumidifier installations in Flintville?
Yes. Through TVA EnergyRight and many local utilities, qualifying ENERGY STAR® whole-home dehumidifiers earn rebates of $100–$200. We’ll handle the paperwork for you. We also offer 0 % interest financing for 12 months or low-interest terms up to 60 months, making it easy to improve indoor air quality without a large upfront cost.
