FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for homes in Mulberry?
Central Florida’s high humidity means indoor air can routinely exceed the recommended 50% relative-humidity level. A whole-home dehumidifier tied into your HVAC system pulls excess moisture off the air stream before it circulates through the ducts, protecting your home from mold, musty odors, wood warping, and the sticky, uncomfortable feeling that high humidity causes.
How is a dehumidifier installed in my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Our technicians cut a small opening in the return-air plenum and mount the dehumidifier so that humid air is drawn in, dried, and then routed back into the supply ductwork. The unit’s condensate line is run to a safe drainage point, and we integrate its controls with your thermostat or a dedicated humidistat so you can set your desired humidity level just like you set temperature.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
Most homeowners see either no change or a slight reduction in energy costs. Removing moisture lets your air conditioner run shorter cycles because dry air feels cooler. In many cases you can raise your thermostat two or three degrees and feel just as comfortable, offsetting the small amount of electricity the dehumidifier uses.
What size dehumidifier do I need for my home?
Sizing depends on square footage, number of occupants, ceiling height, and existing moisture problems. During a free in-home assessment, we measure indoor humidity, inspect insulation and duct design, and use ACCA Manual S guidelines to recommend the correct pint-per-day capacity so the unit operates efficiently without short-cycling.
How often does a whole-home dehumidifier need maintenance?
Besides the normal HVAC filter changes, the dehumidifier’s MERV-rated filter should be replaced or cleaned every 6–12 months, and the condensate drain should be flushed annually. During our semi-annual HVAC tune-ups we check refrigerant charge, blower motor operation, and calibrate the humidistat to keep the system performing at peak efficiency.
What warranties and service guarantees do you offer for dehumidifier installations?
We install industry-leading Aprilaire and Honeywell models that carry 5-year manufacturer parts warranties. Our labor is covered for 12 months, and every installation comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee—if humidity levels don’t hit the target range within 30 days, we’ll make any necessary adjustments at no charge.
