FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for homes in Newcomb?
Newcombâs coastal climate produces high relative humidity for much of the year. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth, musty odors, warped wood, and dust-mite activity. A whole-home dehumidifier keeps indoor humidity in the ideal 40â50 % range, protecting your familyâs health, your homeâs structure, and your HVAC equipment from moisture-related damage.
How do I know what size dehumidifier my house needs?
During a free in-home consultation, our technicians measure the square footage, ceiling height, existing insulation, and typical indoor humidity levels. Using industry sizing charts and Manual J load calculations, we match your home to a unit with the right pint-per-day removal capacity. Choosing the correct size ensures balanced humidity without wasting energy or short-cycling the equipment.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
Most installations are completed in one day. We mount the dehumidifier in line with your existing supply/return ductwork or in a dedicated bypass configuration. A condensate drain is run to a floor drain or condensate pump, and we wire the unit to a dedicated electrical circuit. Finally, we program the humidistat, test airflow, and verify proper drainage. You receive a walkthrough of system operation before we leave.
Will adding a dehumidifier raise my energy bills?
A properly sized, ENERGY STARÂź rated dehumidifier draws relatively little power, and by removing latent heat from the air it actually helps your air conditioner run less. Most customers see neutral or even lower overall energy costs because the A/C no longer has to work as hard to control humidity.
How do I maintain my dehumidifier after installation?
Maintenance is simple: (1) Replace or clean the air filter every 3â6 months, depending on usage. (2) Check and clear the condensate drain line twice a year to prevent clogs. (3) Have our technicians perform an annual inspection to verify refrigerant pressures, blower performance, and humidistat calibration. Enrolling in our Comfort Club plan covers all routine service at a discounted rate.
Can the dehumidifier integrate with my current HVAC and smart thermostat?
Yes. We install whole-home units that tie directly into your existing ductwork and can be controlled by a standalone humidistat or by many leading smart thermostats, including ecobee and select Nest models. Integration allows the dehumidifier and HVAC system to communicate, optimizing comfort while minimizing energy use.
