FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for indoor air quality in Reliance?
Reliance’s warm, humid climate often pushes indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 30-50 percent range. Excess moisture encourages mold, mildew, dust mites, musty odors, and even structural wood damage. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier continuously removes this excess moisture, helping your air conditioning run more efficiently, protecting furnishings, and creating a healthier, more comfortable living environment for allergy and asthma sufferers.
How does a dehumidifier integrate with my existing HVAC system?
We install the dehumidifier in your home’s return-air ductwork so it draws humid air from the entire house, condenses the moisture, and then sends the dried air back through your supply ducts. The unit is wired to a dedicated humidistat or tied into your smart thermostat, allowing automatic operation. Because it shares ductwork and a drain line with your HVAC system, you get balanced humidity control without adding noisy, space-consuming portable units.
What signs indicate that I need a dehumidifier installation?
Common red flags include persistent condensation on windows, a sticky or clammy feeling indoors, musty smells, visible mold spots on walls or ceilings, and warping hardwood floors. If your air conditioner runs constantly but the space still feels damp—especially in basements or crawl spaces—adding a whole-home dehumidifier will usually solve the problem and reduce AC run-time.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
Most whole-home dehumidifier installations in Reliance are completed in one day. Our technicians begin with a humidity assessment and load calculation, then select a mounting location in your mechanical area or crawl space, connect the unit to existing supply/return ductwork, run a dedicated condensate drain line, and integrate electrical and control wiring. We test for leaks, calibrate the humidistat, and review operation and maintenance with you before leaving.
How do I choose the right size dehumidifier for my home?
Sizing is based on square footage, average infiltration, ceiling height, and typical indoor humidity levels. Whole-home units are rated in pints of moisture removed per day; most Reliance homes need 70-130 pint models. Our certified comfort advisors use ACCA Manual H guidelines to perform a room-by-room load calculation, ensuring you get a unit that maintains target humidity without wasting energy or short-cycling.
What maintenance and warranty support do you provide after installation?
We offer an annual preventive-maintenance plan that includes cleaning the evaporator coil, checking the blower motor and drain line, replacing filters, and recalibrating the humidistat. Most manufacturers provide a 5-year parts warranty; when we register your unit, you’ll receive up to 10 years of coverage on select models. If you ever experience a performance issue, our 24/7 emergency HVAC service in Reliance ensures prompt, factory-authorized repairs.
