FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for houses in Soddy-Daisy?
Soddy-Daisy sits near Chickamauga Lake and the Tennessee River, so outdoor humidity routinely hovers above 70 %. That moisture migrates indoors, causing sticky air, musty smells, mold growth, and higher cooling bills. A professionally installed whole-home dehumidifier pulls excess moisture from every room through your existing HVAC ductwork. The result is a healthier living environment, fewer allergens, and air-conditioning that can run at a higher thermostat setting while still feeling comfortable.
How can I tell if my home needs a dehumidifier installation?
Common warning signs include condensation on windows, persistent musty or mildew odors, visible mold on walls or around vents, cupped or warped hardwood floors, and indoor relative humidity consistently above 55 %. You may also notice your AC running nonstop without ever truly removing the clammy feeling. Our technicians can perform an on-site humidity audit with calibrated hygrometers to confirm whether your levels exceed recommended limits and to size the correct dehumidifier for your square footage and HVAC system.
What kinds of dehumidifiers do your expert HVAC team install, and how do I choose the right model?
We install ducted whole-home dehumidifiers from leading brands such as Aprilaire, Honeywell, and Santa Fe. Capacities range from 70 to 130 pints per day. Selection depends on the home’s square footage, insulation quality, existing HVAC tonnage, basement or crawl-space conditions, and target humidity levels. During your free consultation, we calculate the load, show you energy-efficiency ratings, noise levels, and control options (stand-alone humidistat vs. smart-thermostat integration) so you can make an informed decision.
What does the installation process involve and how long will it take?
Most whole-home dehumidifier installations are completed in one business day. Our crew mounts the unit in your mechanical room, attic, or crawl space, ties it into the supply and/or return ductwork, installs a dedicated condensate drain line with an optional pump, and wires the controls to your HVAC system or a wall-mounted humidistat. We test for proper airflow, set the humidity threshold (typically 45 – 50 %), and walk you through the new control interface before leaving the job site spotless.
Will running a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
A high-efficiency dehumidifier does draw additional electrical power (usually 3–7 amps), but most homeowners see little to no net increase—and sometimes a decrease—in total utility costs. By removing latent heat, your air conditioner runs shorter cycles and you can raise the thermostat 2–3 °F while feeling the same comfort. Modern units carry Energy Star ratings and variable-speed fans that keep operating costs low. We provide an energy-savings estimate during your consultation.
What maintenance is required and do you offer service plans?
Maintenance is minimal: replace or clean the air filter every 3–6 months and check that the drain line remains clear. Our ComfortCare Plan includes two seasonal visits where we inspect coils, verify refrigerant charge, sanitize the condensate pan, test electrical components, and recalibrate the humidistat. Enrollment also gives you priority scheduling and 15 % off any replacement parts, ensuring your dehumidifier and HVAC system run efficiently year-round.
