FAQs
Why is optimal humidity control important for homes in Reliance?
Reliance experiences warm, humid summers and cool, damp winters. Excess indoor moisture can lead to mold growth, musty odors, dust-mite infestations, and warped woodwork, while air that is too dry can aggravate allergies and damage furniture. Maintaining relative humidity between 30 % and 50 % keeps your living space comfortable, protects your home’s structure and finishes, and helps your HVAC system run more efficiently.
How does a whole-home dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Our technicians install the dehumidifier on the supply or return plenum of your central HVAC ductwork. The unit draws moist air from the home, removes excess water over an internal cooling coil, then returns the dried, conditioned air back into the duct system. An onboard humidistat or your smart thermostat monitors humidity levels and signals the dehumidifier to cycle on only when needed, working seamlessly with your furnace or air conditioner.
What size or capacity dehumidifier do I need?
Proper sizing depends on your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, typical occupancy, and baseline indoor humidity. During a free in-home assessment, we measure these factors and use industry ACCA (Manual S) guidelines to choose a model with adequate pint-per-day moisture removal and airflow (CFM). A unit that is too small will run continuously without reaching the setpoint, while one that is oversized can short-cycle and waste energy.
Will installing a dehumidifier lower my energy bills?
Yes—by extracting moisture directly, the dehumidifier allows your air conditioner to focus on temperature control rather than latent heat removal. Because drier air feels cooler, you can raise the thermostat 2–3 °F and remain comfortable, trimming summer cooling costs. Optimal humidity also reduces the load on your heating system in winter by improving heat retention within building materials.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most whole-home dehumidifier installations in Reliance are completed in one visit lasting 3–5 hours. We schedule at your convenience, lay down protective drop cloths, and restore the work area to its original condition. Your HVAC system can usually stay operational during the majority of the work, so there is minimal interruption to comfort.
What maintenance is required, and do you offer service plans?
Maintenance is straightforward: change or clean the dehumidifier’s air filter every 3–6 months, clear the condensate drain line annually, and have the coil inspected for dust buildup. Our Reliance ComfortCare Plan includes two preventive visits per year covering filter changes, drain-line flushing, performance checks, and priority repair service. Enrolling extends the factory warranty and ensures your humidity control system performs at peak efficiency for years.
