FAQs
Why should homeowners in Morristown consider a whole-house dehumidifier?
Morristown experiences hot, humid summers that can push indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 45–50 percent range. Excess moisture promotes mold growth, dust mites, musty odors, and allergies, and it forces your air conditioner to run longer to feel comfortable. A properly sized whole-house dehumidifier integrated into your HVAC system removes several gallons of water a day, helping your home feel cooler, protecting furnishings and structural materials, and cutting A/C runtime by up to 30 percent.
How can I tell if my home needs a dehumidifier installation?
Warning signs include persistent condensation on windows, a sticky or clammy feeling at normal thermostat settings, musty smells in basements or closets, visible mold spots, warped wood or peeling paint, and high indoor humidity readings (above 55 percent) on a hygrometer. If you notice any of these, our technicians can perform a complimentary moisture assessment to confirm whether a dehumidifier is the right solution and determine proper sizing for your square footage and HVAC configuration.
What steps are involved in a professional dehumidifier installation by your Morristown team?
1. In-home evaluation: We measure indoor humidity, calculate load based on square footage, insulation, and air-change rate, and inspect existing ductwork. 2. Equipment selection: We recommend Energy-Star-rated, low-noise units sized 70–130 pint/day, depending on your needs, and confirm compatibility with your furnace or air handler. 3. Integration: The unit is mounted in the return-air plenum or a dedicated bypass duct. We add a drain line to a nearby condensate pump or floor drain to remove collected water. 4. Controls: A wired or wireless humidistat is installed so you can set desired RH levels; some models integrate with smart thermostats. 5. Testing & calibration: We verify airflow, confirm airtight connections, program humidity set-points, and show you basic operation and filter changes.
Will running a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
A whole-house dehumidifier does draw electricity, but in most Morristown homes the overall impact is neutral or positive. By removing latent heat, the unit allows you to raise the thermostat 2–3 °F while feeling just as comfortable, reducing A/C compressor runtime. Customers typically see a 5–15 percent drop in cooling costs, and furnaces work more efficiently in winter because drier air heats faster. Choosing an Energy-Star model with automatic humidity sensing maximizes savings.
How much maintenance does a whole-house dehumidifier require?
Very little. Replace or vacuum the air filter every 3–6 months, clear the drain line annually, and have our HVAC technicians inspect the coil and fan during your spring tune-up. High-capacity Aprilaire and Honeywell units we install have washable MERV-8 filters and sealed bearings, so there are no belts to adjust or refrigerant lines to recharge under normal operation. With routine care, life expectancy is 8–12 years.
Are rebates or financing available for dehumidifier installations in Morristown?
Yes. Through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program, qualifying Energy-Star dehumidifiers may earn a $50–$100 instant rebate, and select high-efficiency models bundled with HVAC upgrades can qualify for 0 % APR financing for up to 60 months. Our office handles all paperwork, from rebate forms to permit applications, and we’ll outline payback estimates so you can make an informed decision.
