FAQs
Why would a home in Jacksboro need a whole-house dehumidifier?
Campbell Countyâs warm, humid summers mean indoor relative humidity can stay above the recommended 50 %. Excess moisture encourages mold, mildew, musty odors, and dust-mite growth while making your air conditioner work harder. A dedicated dehumidifier removes pints of water per day that an A/C alone canât handle, improving comfort, protecting wood furnishings, and lowering cooling costs.
How does the installation process work and how long will it take?
Most projects are completed in one visit lasting 3â5 hours. Our technicians mount the dehumidifier next to your air handler or inside the mechanical closet, connect it to the supply or return plenum with insulated flex duct, run a dedicated condensate drain or tie-in to an existing condensate line, wire the unit to its own humidistat/thermostat, and verify proper airflow and drainage. We finish by testing humidity levels throughout your home.
Can a dehumidifier be integrated with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Yes. The unit is plumbed into your homeâs ductwork so it treats all the air that already circulates through your HVAC system. It can share the system blower or operate independently, depending on model. A smart controller coordinates operation so the dehumidifier runs only when indoor humidity rises above your set point, preventing short-cycling or over-drying during winter heating.
What size dehumidifier will my house need?
Sizing is based on square footage, number of occupants, ceiling height, and the homeâs infiltration rate. Most Jacksboro residences fall between 2,200 ft² and 3,000 ft², typically requiring a 70- to 95-pint-per-day unit. During your free in-home assessment we take humidity readings and calculate air changes per hour (ACH) to select a model that maintains 45â50 % RH without excessive run time.
Will adding a dehumidifier raise my electric bill?
A high-efficiency, ENERGY STARÂŽârated dehumidifier draws about the same power as a window A/C (1.8â2.5 amps). However, by wringing out moisture it allows you to raise the thermostat 2â3 °F while feeling just as cool, often offsetting its own electrical use. Many customers see overall summer energy savings of 5â15 % plus reduced wear on the main air conditioner.
What maintenance is required after installation, and do you offer service plans?
Routine upkeep is simple: replace or rinse the air filter every 3â6 months, keep the condensate line clear, and have the coil inspected annually. Our Comfort Shield plan includes a spring and fall visit where we clean the unit, test controls, sanitize the drain pan, and confirm humidity calibration.
