FAQs
Why should I install a whole-home dehumidifier instead of using portable units?
Whole-home dehumidifiers connect directly to your HVAC ductwork and treat all the air in your house, eliminating the need to empty water buckets or move units from room to room. They deliver consistent humidity control, reduce mold and mildew risks, help your air conditioner run more efficiently, and generally last longer than portables—making them a smarter investment for Kingston’s damp summer climate.
How do I know what size dehumidifier my Kingston home needs?
Sizing is based on your home’s square footage, existing HVAC capacity, average indoor humidity, and specific moisture issues (such as basement dampness). During our in-home assessment, a certified technician measures these factors, calculates required pints-per-day removal, and recommends a unit that integrates seamlessly with your heating and cooling system.
What is involved in the professional installation process?
Installation typically takes 3–5 hours. We shut off power to your HVAC system, cut in a dedicated return or supply duct for the dehumidifier, install an inline filter, and run condensate drain lines to a floor drain or condensate pump. The unit is then wired to a humidistat or your smart thermostat and tested for proper airflow, drainage, and humidity set-points before we restore power and clean the work area.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
A whole-home dehumidifier uses electricity, but it can lower overall energy costs by allowing your air conditioner to cycle less often and at a higher thermostat setting. Many Kingston homeowners see a net reduction in summer energy expenses, along with fewer AC repairs, because balanced humidity reduces system strain.
How do I maintain the dehumidifier after installation?
Maintenance is minimal: replace or clean the unit’s air filter every 3–6 months, ensure the drain line remains clear, and schedule yearly HVAC tune-ups where our technician checks coils, blower, and humidistat calibration. Following these steps keeps your warranty valid and ensures long-term performance.
What warranties and rebates are available for Kingston residents?
Most manufacturers offer 5-year parts warranties on whole-home dehumidifiers, and we provide a 1-year labor guarantee on our workmanship. Kingston Utility’s Home Energy Savings Program periodically offers rebates for humidity-control upgrades—ask us for the latest incentives, and we’ll help file the paperwork to maximize your savings.
