FAQs
Why is a dedicated whole-home dehumidifier important in Mulberry’s climate?
Mulberry sits in a humid subtropical zone, so moisture levels routinely climb above 60 % RH indoors. Persistent humidity encourages mold, mildew, dust mites, and musty odors, and it makes your air conditioning work harder. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier extracts excess moisture before it circulates through the ductwork, keeping indoor relative humidity in the ideal 45–50 % range and creating a healthier living environment year-round.
How do I know what capacity dehumidifier my house needs?
Capacity is measured in pints of water removed per day. We perform an in-home assessment that looks at square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, current HVAC performance, and typical indoor RH levels. Most Mulberry homes fall in the 70-to-120-pint range, but larger or more humid houses may need 130 + pint units. Our technicians provide a written load calculation so you can be confident the chosen model matches your home’s exact moisture load.
Will the dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Yes. We tie the dehumidifier into your supply or return ductwork so it treats the entire home in tandem with your central HVAC equipment. The unit has its own humidistat for independent operation, but we can also connect it to modern smart thermostats for unified control. Condensate drains directly to your existing plumbing or an outdoor discharge line, so you never have to empty a bucket.
Can a whole-home dehumidifier lower my energy bills?
Absolutely. Drier air feels cooler, allowing you to raise the AC thermostat 2–3 °F without sacrificing comfort. Because the dehumidifier handles moisture removal more efficiently than an air conditioner, your AC’s compressor cycle time drops, typically saving 10–15 % on cooling costs. It also reduces wear on HVAC components, potentially extending equipment life.
What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?
Maintenance is minimal: replace or clean the air filter every 3–6 months, clear the condensate line annually, and have our technicians perform a full inspection once a year to check coils, blower motor, and refrigerant charge. These tasks are usually bundled with your routine HVAC service plan, adding only a few extra minutes to the visit.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my household?
Most installations in Mulberry are completed in one business day. We begin with a morning arrival, cut in the duct connections, set up the condensate drain, wire the control circuit, and test-run the system. We put down drop cloths, wear shoe covers, and clean up thoroughly, so disruption is minimal. You’ll have full use of heating and cooling the same evening.
