FAQs

Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important in Sale Creek’s climate?

Sale Creek sits near the Tennessee River, so we experience long stretches of warm, humid weather from late spring through early fall. High indoor humidity (anything above 50–55%) can lead to musty odors, mold growth, dust-mite activity, and a sticky, uncomfortable feeling even when the air conditioner is running. A professionally installed whole-home dehumidifier pulls excess moisture out of the air across the entire living space, improving comfort, protecting woodwork and electronics, and helping your HVAC system cool more efficiently.

How do I know what size dehumidifier my home needs?

Proper sizing is crucial because an undersized unit will run constantly without reaching the desired humidity level, while an oversized unit wastes energy and short-cycles. During our in-home assessment we measure square footage, ceiling height, infiltration rates, existing ductwork, and typical indoor moisture loads (people, pets, cooking, etc.). We then calculate the required extraction capacity in pints per day and select a model that matches those calculations and integrates cleanly with your HVAC equipment.

What is involved in professional dehumidifier installation and how long does it take?

Most whole-home dehumidifiers tie directly into the return-air plenum of your existing heating and air-conditioning system. Our technicians will: 1) isolate power to the HVAC unit, 2) fabricate and attach duct transitions, 3) run a dedicated condensate drain with a trap and optional pump, 4) wire the dehumidifier to its own humidistat or to your smart thermostat, 5) test for proper airflow and leak-free operation. A typical retrofit installation in Sale Creek takes 3–5 hours and can usually be completed in a single visit.

Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?

A dehumidifier does use electricity, but most homeowners see a net reduction—or at least a negligible change—in overall energy costs. Drier air feels cooler, allowing you to set the thermostat 2–3°F higher without sacrificing comfort. This lightens the air conditioner’s workload, often offsetting the dehumidifier’s usage. In addition, the HVAC system runs shorter, more efficient cycles because it no longer has to over-cool the air just to remove moisture.

Can a dehumidifier be integrated with my existing HVAC system?

Yes. We install whole-home units that share ductwork with your furnace or heat pump. The dehumidifier operates independently from cooling or heating calls, so it can remove moisture even during mild spring and fall days when the AC is off. If you have a zoning system or limited return-air space, we can add dedicated supply and return ducts or select a model with an integral blower to ensure balanced airflow.

What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require, and do you offer service plans?

Maintenance is minimal but important. We recommend cleaning or replacing the air filter every 3–6 months, checking the condensate line for clogs, and inspecting coils annually for dust buildup. Our ComfortGuard Service Plan includes two visits per year in which we handle all tune-ups for the dehumidifier and the rest of your HVAC equipment, provide priority scheduling, and extend manufacturer-approved warranty coverage. Enrolling keeps the system operating efficiently and helps prevent surprise repairs.
