FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for houses in Rogersville?
Rogersvilleâs warm, humid summers frequently push indoor relative humidity above the recommended 30-50 % range. Excess moisture encourages mold growth, dust-mite activity, musty odors, and can even warp wood floors or furniture. A dedicated, duct-connected dehumidifier removes the moisture your air conditioner canât, keeping your home healthier, protecting the building materials, and making you feel cooler at the same thermostat setting.
How can I tell if my home needs a dehumidifier in addition to air conditioning?
Common warning signs include persistent condensation on windows, mildew in bathrooms or closets, musty smells, clammy air even when the A/C is running, or indoor humidity readings consistently above 55 %. If you notice any of these issues, our Comfort Consultant can perform a free humidity assessment and advise whether a dehumidifier, HVAC adjustment, or air-sealing upgrade is the best solution.
What size dehumidifier does my home require?
Whole-home units are sized by pints of moisture removed per day and must match both the square footage and infiltration rate of your house. During an in-home consultation, we measure floor space, ceiling height, air-leakage points, and existing HVAC capacity, then apply ACCA Manual H guidelines to select the correct unitâusually 70-135 pints/day for most Rogersville residences. Proper sizing ensures maximum moisture removal without wasting energy.
Will installing a dehumidifier raise my energy bills?
In many cases it lowers them. When indoor humidity is controlled, you can set the thermostat 2-3 °F higher and still feel comfortable, reducing A/C runtime. Modern whole-home dehumidifiers use high-efficiency compressors and draw only 3-6 ampsâabout the same as a hair dryer when running. Customers typically see neutral or slightly lower utility costs plus the added benefit of reduced wear on their air conditioner.
What is involved in the installation and how long does it take?
We mount the dehumidifier in the HVAC return or dedicated bypass duct, connect it to the existing supply plenum, wire a control panel or integrate it with your smart thermostat, and route a condensate line to a nearby drain or condensate pump. A standard installation takes 4-6 hours with minimal disruption. All work is performed by our licensed, insured technicians and backed by a labor warranty.
What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier need, and do you offer service plans?
Maintenance is simple: replace or clean the air filter every 3-6 months, verify the condensate line is clear, and have the refrigeration system inspected annually. Our Comfort Club members receive two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and discounts on parts. Regular service maximizes efficiency, preserves your warranty, and extends the unitâs 10-15-year lifespan.
