FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for homes in Mulberry, FL?
Mulberryâs subtropical climate means outdoor humidity levels frequently exceed 70 %. That excess moisture normally infiltrates your living space, causing muggy indoor air, musty odors, mold growth, and higher AC bills because your system has to work harder to remove moisture. A professionally installed whole-home dehumidifier keeps indoor relative humidity in the ideal 40â50 % range, improving comfort, protecting furnishings, and lowering cooling costs.
Can a dehumidifier be added to my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Yes. Our skilled technicians install âductedâ dehumidifiers that tie directly into your supply or return ductwork. The unit uses the HVAC blower to pull moist air across an internal coil, wring out the water, and deliver dry air back through the ducts. Because it integrates with your current system, you get even humidity control throughout the house without sacrificing closet or floor space.
How do you determine the correct dehumidifier size for my home?
We perform a detailed load calculation that considers square footage, ceiling height, number of occupants, ventilation rate, and typical indoor moisture sources such as cooking or laundry. Using these figures, we select a unit with a moisture-removal capacity (pints per day) that matches your homeâs needs. Oversizing wastes energy; undersizing leaves the air clammyâour assessment ensures the perfect balance.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
1) On arrival, our technicians protect floors and furniture with drop cloths. 2) We locate an accessible placeâusually near the air handler or in the atticâthen mount the dehumidifier on vibration-isolation pads or hang it from joists. 3) We connect insulated duct runs, wire the control panel, and tie the condensate line into an existing drain with an overflow safety switch. 4) Finally, we program the humidistat and test the system. A typical installation takes 4â6 hours and is completed in a single day.
How much maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?
Minimal. The internal air filter should be cleaned or replaced every 3â6 months (we can align this with your HVAC filter schedule). The condensate drain must remain clear; our techs flush it during each bi-annual HVAC tune-up. We also verify humidity set-points and inspect electrical connections. With routine checks, most units last 8â15 years.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
A dehumidifier uses electricity, but in humid climates like Mulberry it often lowers overall energy costs. By reducing indoor humidity, you can set the thermostat 2â3 °F higher and still feel comfortable, trimming AC run time. Utility studies show homeowners frequently see net savings of 5â15 % on cooling expenses after installation.
