FAQs

Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important in Loudon’s climate?

Loudon experiences long, muggy summers with outdoor relative humidity frequently topping 70 %. When that moisture seeps indoors it can make a 75 °F room feel five degrees warmer, encourage mold growth, warp wood, and aggravate allergies. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture before it spreads, protecting your home’s structure and helping your air-conditioning run more efficiently.

How do I know if my home needs a dehumidifier in addition to the HVAC system I already have?

Persistent condensation on windows, musty odors, clammy air even when the A/C is running, or indoor humidity readings above 55 % are strong indicators. You might also notice mold spots in bathrooms, closets, or on HVAC vents. During a free in-home assessment, our Loudon-based comfort specialists use hygrometers and inspect your ductwork to determine whether a dedicated dehumidifier is the best solution or if duct or equipment adjustments can resolve the issue.

What is involved in the professional installation process for a dehumidifier?

1. Load calculation – We measure your home’s square footage, air-change rate, and typical humidity load. 2. Equipment selection – We match those numbers to high-efficiency units from Aprilaire, Honeywell, and other leading brands. 3. Integration – The dehumidifier is tied into the return or supply plenum of your forced-air system so it can treat the full air stream. 4. Condensate management – A dedicated drain line or condensate pump is installed to safely route water outside or to a floor drain. 5. Controls – We mount a digital humidistat or program your smart thermostat for automatic humidity management. 6. Testing – Before leaving, we confirm proper airflow, temperature drop, and that humidity falls into the 45–50 % range within an hour.

Will adding a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?

Most homeowners see little to no increase—many see a decrease. By wringing out moisture, the dehumidifier lets you raise the thermostat 2–3 °F while feeling the same level of comfort, which reduces A/C runtime. Modern whole-home units draw roughly the same electricity as a medium-size window A/C (about 3–5 amps). In Loudon’s humid climate, the energy saved by shorter compressor cycles often offsets the dehumidifier’s consumption.

How does a dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and cooling equipment?

The unit connects to your ductwork so it can operate independently or in tandem with the air conditioner. When humidity is high but temperatures are mild, the dehumidifier can run without turning on the A/C, preventing over-cooling and saving energy. We program the control board so that both systems communicate, ensuring balanced airflow and preventing the furnace blower from short-cycling.

What maintenance is required after installation, and do you offer service plans?

Routine maintenance is minimal: replace or clean the dehumidifier’s air filter every 6–12 months, and check the drain line for clogs before the summer season. Our ComfortCare Plan covers these tasks along with annual HVAC tune-ups, priority scheduling, and a 15 % parts discount. During each visit we verify humidity readings, clean the internal coils, and update firmware on compatible smart controls to keep your system running at peak efficiency.
