FAQs
Why should I add a whole-house dehumidifier to my heating and air-conditioning system in Harrogate?
Harrogate’s climate can be surprisingly humid, especially in summer and during wet winters. Excess indoor moisture encourages mould growth, dust mites, and musty odours, and it makes your AC work harder. A professionally installed, duct-mounted dehumidifier removes this excess humidity before it spreads through the home, improving air quality, lowering cooling costs, and protecting furnishings and the fabric of the building.
How do I know what capacity dehumidifier I need?
Our engineers carry out a free on-site humidity assessment. We measure the cubic footage of the property, check current moisture levels, analyse insulation and ventilation, and consider occupants’ lifestyle factors (cooking, laundry, etc.). From this data we recommend the correct litre-per-day extraction capacity and select a model that integrates seamlessly with your existing HVAC system so you never pay for more power than you need.
What does the installation process involve and how long does it take?
Most whole-home dehumidifier installations in Harrogate are completed within one day. We: 1. Isolate power to the HVAC system. 2. Mount the dehumidifier cabinet in the plant area or loft and connect it to the supply/return ductwork. 3. Install a dedicated condensate drain to a nearby waste or soak-away. 4. Hard-wire the unit to a fused spur and link it to your HVAC control panel or a stand-alone humidistat. 5. Test run, balance airflow, and demonstrate operation. No major building work is required, and disruption is minimal.
Will the dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
Counter-intuitively, most customers see overall energy savings. By lowering humidity, the perceived temperature feels cooler in summer and warmer in winter, so your air-conditioning and heating systems run less. A typical whole-house unit draws 200–600 W when active, costing around £0.06–£0.18 per hour at current tariffs, but the reduced HVAC runtime usually offsets this. We can provide projected running-cost calculations during the survey.
Do you offer maintenance and warranty support?
Yes. All dehumidifiers we install come with a manufacturer’s warranty of 2–5 years, depending on the model. Our installation workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We also offer optional annual service plans that include filter changes, coil cleaning, condensate-line flushing, and a full performance check to keep the system efficient and prolong its life.
Can a dehumidifier be retrofitted to my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
In most cases, yes. If you have accessible supply or return ductwork and a spare electrical circuit nearby, we can retrofit a dehumidifier without replacing your current HVAC equipment. For properties without ducted airflow (e.g., older cottages), we can specify a compact, stand-alone ductless unit or design a small-duct high-velocity loop. Our surveyor will outline the best retrofit strategy for your particular home in Harrogate.
