FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for homes in Sewanee?
Sewaneeâs warm, humid summers create excess indoor moisture that can lead to mold growth, musty odors, allergy flare-ups, and higher energy bills. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier integrated with your heating and air-conditioning system keeps relative humidity in the ideal 45â55 % range, protecting your homeâs structure, improving indoor air quality, and allowing your AC to operate more efficiently.
How do I know what size dehumidifier my home needs?
During our free in-home assessment, a comfort specialist measures square footage, ceiling height, typical moisture load, and evaluates your existing HVAC ductwork. We then perform a Manual J humidity load calculation to recommend the right capacity (in pints per day) so the unit can maintain target humidity without short-cycling or running continuously.
What is involved in the installation process?
Most installations take one day. We mount the dehumidifier in line with your return or supply ductwork, run a dedicated condensate drain to a safe discharge point, wire the unit to your HVAC system, and set up a digital humidistat or smart thermostat control. Before we leave, we balance airflow, test for leaks, and show you how to adjust settings and replace the air filter.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy usage?
While the dehumidifier consumes modest electricity, it allows your air conditioner to run shorter, less frequent cycles because dry air feels cooler. Many customers see overall energy savings of 5â15 % in summer. We install ENERGY STARÂź-rated equipment and can connect it to smart controls for optimal scheduling.
How much does professional dehumidifier installation cost in Sewanee?
Pricing depends on unit capacity and existing ductwork accessibility. Most homes fall between $1,900 and $3,500, which includes the dehumidifier, materials, labor, and a one-year workmanship warranty. We provide upfront, itemized quotes and offer financing plans with approved credit.
What maintenance and warranty support do you provide?
We recommend an annual HVAC service visit that includes dehumidifier inspection, coil cleaning, filter replacement, and drain line flush. Our preferred manufacturers offer 5-year parts warranties, extendable to 10 years with registration. Our company backs the installation with a one-year labor warranty and priority service response for Sewanee residents.
