FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important in Mulberry’s climate?
Mulberry experiences long, humid summers and mild but often damp winters. Excess indoor humidity above 50 % encourages mold growth, dust mites, and musty odors, and it makes your air conditioner work harder. A dedicated whole-home dehumidifier automatically removes extra moisture before it circulates through your ducts, protecting your family’s health, preserving wood furniture and flooring, and helping your HVAC system run more efficiently year-round.
How does a dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
During installation, we mount the dehumidifier in line with your home’s return air duct or as a bypass unit that draws air from and returns it to the supply plenum. It operates in tandem with the air handler, sensing humidity levels and activating only when needed. The unit drains automatically to a nearby condensate line, so you never have to empty a bucket. Your thermostat or a wall-mounted humidistat lets you set a target relative humidity—typically between 45 % and 50 %.
What size or capacity dehumidifier do I need for my house?
Capacity is measured in pints of moisture removed per day. We perform an in-home assessment that considers square footage, ceiling height, typical occupancy, insulation levels, and local moisture loads. Most Mulberry homes require units rated between 70 and 120 pints per day, but larger homes or those with crawl spaces may need 135 – 200 pint models. Choosing the right size ensures the system cycles properly without wasting energy or failing to keep humidity in check.
Will installing a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
A dehumidifier does add a small amount of electrical consumption—usually 5 – 8 cents per hour of operation. However, by reducing latent (moisture) heat, it allows your air conditioner to run shorter, less frequent cycles, often cutting cooling costs by 10 – 15 %. Homeowners typically see a net neutral or even lower utility bill, plus they gain comfort at a higher thermostat setting because drier air feels cooler.
How long does the installation take, and will it disrupt my home?
Most residential installations are completed in 3–5 hours. Our technicians protect flooring and furniture with drop cloths, make precise duct connections, run a condensate drain, and wire the control. Power is turned off only to the HVAC system, so the rest of your home remains fully functional. We test the unit and clean the workspace before we leave, so disruption is minimal and you can begin using the system immediately.
What maintenance does my dehumidifier require after installation?
Maintenance is simple: replace or clean the dehumidifier’s intake filter every 3–6 months, keep the condensate drain line clear, and schedule an annual tune-up with our HVAC team. During the tune-up we inspect coils, refrigerant levels, fan motors, and the humidistat calibration. Proper upkeep maximizes moisture removal, prevents mold inside the unit, and preserves your manufacturer’s warranty.
