FAQs

Do I really need a whole-home dehumidifier in Jacksboro’s climate?

Yes. Jacksboro experiences long stretches of high humidity, especially in spring and summer. Excess indoor moisture can lead to mold growth, musty odors, wood warping, and aggravated allergies. A whole-home dehumidifier keeps relative humidity in the ideal 40-50 % range, protecting your home’s structure, improving indoor air quality, and making your air conditioner run more efficiently.

How does your dehumidifier installation process work, and how long will it take?

After a free in-home evaluation, our licensed HVAC technicians calculate the correct dehumidifier capacity and determine the best tie-in point to your existing ductwork. On installation day we: 1) isolate power to the HVAC system, 2) mount the dehumidifier on a firm platform or hang it from joists, 3) connect supply and return ducts, 4) hard-wire or plug the unit into a dedicated circuit, 5) install a condensate drain with an anti-siphon trap, and 6) calibrate the integrated humidistat. A standard job for an average-size home in Jacksboro takes 4–6 hours, and you can use the system immediately afterward.

Will adding a dehumidifier raise my energy bills?

A correctly sized, ENERGY STAR®-rated dehumidifier actually tends to lower total energy costs. By removing latent heat (moisture) from the air, it allows your air conditioner to cycle less often and at a higher thermostat setting while maintaining comfort. Most homeowners see a 5-10 % reduction in cooling costs that offsets the dehumidifier’s modest electrical draw.

Can a dehumidifier be integrated with my current HVAC system, or does it work independently?

Our technicians usually integrate the dehumidifier directly into the return-supply plenum of your existing forced-air system so every room benefits. The unit has its own humidistat but can be interlocked with your thermostat for ‘smart’ operation. If your home lacks ductwork—common in older Jacksboro houses—we can install a stand-alone ducted or ductless model sized for individual zones.

How much maintenance will my new dehumidifier need, and do you offer service plans?

Maintenance is minimal: rinse or replace the air filter every 1–3 months, clear the condensate line annually, and have coils cleaned as needed. Our ComfortGuard plans start at two visits per year, during which we inspect electrical connections, refrigerant pressures, drain slope, and humidistat calibration. Enrolling extends your labor warranty from one year to three and provides same-day emergency service throughout Campbell County.

What size dehumidifier is right for my home, and how do you determine it?

Sizing depends on total square footage, average moisture load, ceiling height, and existing HVAC capacity. We perform a Manual J moisture calculation and measure indoor RH levels at multiple points. For most 1,800–2,400 sq ft Jacksboro homes, a 70-90 pint-per-day whole-home unit is adequate, but crawl-space and basement conditions may require supplemental capacity. Our assessment ensures you never overpay for a unit that short-cycles or undersize one that runs continuously.
