FAQs

Why is controlling indoor humidity especially important for homes in Harrison?

Harrison experiences warm, muggy summers and shoulder seasons with frequent rain, which can push indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 30-50 %. Excess moisture encourages mold growth, dust-mite populations, wood warping, paint blistering, and that clammy feeling even when the thermostat reads a comfortable temperature. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier keeps RH in the healthy range, improving comfort, protecting your home’s structure and furnishings, and helping your air-conditioning run more efficiently.

How does a whole-house dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?

During installation we tie the dehumidifier directly into your supply and/or return ductwork. Humid air is pulled from the return plenum, dried inside the dehumidifier’s cooling coil, and the conditioned air is delivered back into the supply side so every room benefits. The unit has its own humidistat—either on the wall or built into your smart thermostat—so it only runs when RH rises above your set point. Condensate drains to a nearby condensate pump or gravity drain, so there are no buckets to empty.

What signs indicate I need a dehumidifier instead of relying solely on air-conditioning?

Air conditioners remove some moisture, but they shut off once the temperature is met. If you notice musty odors, fogged windows, visible mold spots in closets or bathrooms, persistent allergy symptoms, cupping hardwood floors, or your AC short-cycles yet your home still feels sticky, humidity—not temperature—is the problem. In basements and crawl spaces, relative humidity over 60 % signals the need for targeted dehumidification.

How will your technicians determine the correct dehumidifier size for my Harrison home?

We perform an on-site evaluation that accounts for square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, infiltration (leakiness), number of occupants, and moisture sources such as crawl spaces or indoor pools. Using ACCA Manual H and manufacturer sizing charts, we select a unit that can remove the required pints per day without excessive energy use. Oversizing wastes energy; undersizing leaves you damp—our load calculation ensures a perfect fit.

How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?

Most whole-home dehumidifier installations in Harrison take 4–6 hours. We schedule at your convenience, protect work areas with drop cloths, and turn off power only to the HVAC circuit we’re working on. Because the unit is mounted in the mechanical room, attic, or basement, noise and dust are minimal. When we’re finished, we test the system, review the humidistat settings with you, and leave the space as clean as we found it.

What kind of maintenance will my new dehumidifier require after installation?

Maintenance is straightforward: 1) Replace or clean the dehumidifier’s air filter every 3–6 months. 2) Check the condensate drain line annually for clogs or algae. 3) Have our technician inspect coils, blower, and electrical components during your spring or fall HVAC tune-up. Most quality units we install come with 5-year parts warranties, and with proper care can last 10–15 years while keeping humidity in check year-round.
