FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing a whole-home dehumidifier in Lancing’s coastal climate?
Lancing’s sea air keeps outdoor humidity high for much of the year, which can raise indoor moisture levels, encourage mould growth, warp woodwork and make your air-conditioning feel less effective. A properly sized, ducted dehumidifier removes excess moisture before it circulates around the home, protecting furnishings, improving indoor-air quality, reducing musty odours and helping your HVAC system run more efficiently. Many clients also report fewer allergy symptoms and a noticeably more comfortable living environment at 50–55 % relative humidity.
How do I know what size dehumidifier my property needs?
Our engineers carry out a detailed moisture-load calculation during the survey. We measure floor area, ceiling height, typical occupancy, infiltration rates, existing HVAC capacity and the moisture produced by daily activities such as cooking, showering and drying clothes. From this data we match your home to the correct litres-per-day extraction rate and airflow so the unit can maintain target humidity without short-cycling or running continuously. Choosing the right capacity is essential for energy efficiency and long-term reliability.
Will the new dehumidifier integrate with my current heating and air-conditioning system?
Yes. We specialise in precision installations that tie directly into your supply or return ductwork. The dehumidifier’s onboard fan works in tandem with your air handler, drawing air through its own filter and coil to remove moisture before redistributing the conditioned air back into the duct system. We can connect the controls to your existing smart thermostat or provide a dedicated humidistat, so you manage temperature and humidity from a single screen. For homes without central ducts we offer stand-alone solutions with discrete supply and return grilles.
How long does a professional dehumidifier installation take and will it disrupt my home?
A standard retrofit into existing ductwork usually takes 3–5 hours. We arrive with floor protection, isolate the HVAC power, cut a small access section into the duct, mount vibration-damping hangers, run the drain line to the nearest condensate point, wire the control circuit and fully test the system. Because most of the work happens in the loft, crawl space or utility room, disruption inside living areas is minimal. At the end we demonstrate the controls, leave the area clean and provide a commissioning certificate for your records.
What routine maintenance does my precision-installed dehumidifier require?
Maintenance is straightforward: 1) Replace or clean the dehumidifier’s air filter every 3–6 months, or more often if you have pets or renovation dust. 2) Flush the condensate drain annually to prevent blockages. 3) Have our technician inspect the coil, blower wheel and electrical connections during your scheduled HVAC service; this typically adds only 15–20 minutes to the visit. With proper care, quality units last 10–15 years and maintain factory efficiency.
Are energy-efficient or smart-control models available, and do they qualify for any local incentives?
Absolutely. We supply Energy Star-rated whole-home dehumidifiers that use variable-speed blowers and adaptive defrost to cut running costs by up to 30 % compared with older fixed-speed models. Optional Wi-Fi modules let you monitor humidity, temperatures and filter status from your phone or integrate with home-automation platforms such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa. While there are currently no nationwide grants specifically for dehumidifiers, certain models can be bundled into energy-efficiency or damp-proofing schemes offered by West Sussex County Council and some home-insurance providers. We’re happy to guide you through any paperwork to help reduce upfront costs.
