FAQs

Why would a home in Helenwood need a whole-house dehumidifier?

Helenwood’s warm, humid summers can raise indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 45–55 %. Excess moisture promotes mold growth, dust-mite activity, wood warping, and that sticky, uncomfortable feeling even when the air conditioner is running. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier removes this excess moisture, protecting your home’s structure and contents while making every room feel cooler and more comfortable without having to over-run the A/C.

How do I know what size dehumidifier my house requires?

During your free in-home assessment, our EPA-certified technicians measure the square footage, ceiling height, current RH levels, number of occupants, and existing HVAC capacity. We then calculate the necessary pints-per-day removal rate according to ACCA Manual Q guidelines. This ensures you get a unit that can keep humidity in check without wasting energy or cycling too frequently.

Will a dehumidifier work with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?

Yes. We install the dehumidifier in parallel with your central HVAC ductwork, typically on the return side. When indoor humidity rises above the set point, the unit draws moist air from the return plenum, removes the moisture, and supplies the conditioned, dry air back into the supply plenum. It operates independently of the air conditioner, so it can dehumidify even when you don’t need cooling or heating.

What are the main benefits besides increased comfort?

• Healthier air: Lower moisture suppresses mold spores, bacteria, and allergens. • Lower energy bills: Drier air feels cooler, letting you raise the thermostat 2–3 °F and reduce A/C run time. • Home preservation: Hardwood floors, cabinets, musical instruments, and electronics last longer in stable humidity. • Odor control: Musty smells in basements or crawl spaces disappear when moisture is removed.

How much maintenance does a whole-house dehumidifier need?

Very little. The built-in MERV-rated filter should be checked every 6 months and replaced annually, a task most homeowners can do themselves. The condensate line is installed with a proper trap and clean-out, and we inspect and flush it during your routine HVAC tune-up. The refrigeration system is sealed, so no refrigerant recharge is normally required. With basic care, units typically last 10–15 years.

What does installation involve and how long will it take?

A standard installation takes 4–6 hours. We mount the dehumidifier near your air handler or in a crawl space, cut two small duct connections, wire the unit to a dedicated 120-V or 240-V circuit, and run an insulated condensate drain to an approved plumbing point or condensate pump. We then calibrate the onboard humidistat, show you how to use the digital controller, and leave your home exactly as we found it—with noticeably drier air usually within 24 hours.
