FAQs

Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier to my HVAC system in Sunbright?

Sunbright’s warm summers and average relative humidity levels often above 70 % create an ideal environment for mold, dust mites, and musty odors. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier keeps indoor humidity between 45 %–55 %, protecting wood furnishings, improving indoor air quality, and making the air feel cooler so you can raise the thermostat 2–3 °F and still stay comfortable.

How is a dehumidifier installed with my existing heating and air-conditioning equipment?

Our technicians mount the dehumidifier on a dedicated platform or hang it from the joists, then connect its intake and supply ducts to your HVAC return and supply plenums. A condensate drain line is run to your sump, floor drain, or condensate pump, and a low-voltage control wire is tied into your thermostat or a stand-alone humidistat. The unit operates independently of the air handler, so it can remove moisture even when the A/C is off.

What size dehumidifier do I need for my home?

Sizing is based on square footage, number of occupants, infiltration rate, and existing HVAC tonnage. For most Sunbright homes, 70–90 pint/day units work for 1,500–2,500 sq ft, while larger 120–155 pint/day models serve 2,500–4,000 sq ft. During your free in-home assessment we measure indoor RH, calculate latent loads, and recommend the most efficient capacity so you’ll never over- or under-size.

How long does the installation take and will it disrupt my household?

A standard retrofit takes 4–6 hours. We protect floor surfaces, isolate the work area, and restore HVAC operation the same day. Power will be shut off only to the furnace circuit while we wire the dehumidifier. Most homeowners notice no loss of heating or cooling comfort during the process.

Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?

Modern whole-home dehumidifiers use Energy Star–rated ECM blowers and draw roughly 5–8 amps (about the same as a window A/C). Because lower humidity lets you set the thermostat higher in summer and reduces A/C runtime, many Sunbright customers see net savings of 5 %–15 % on their cooling costs. Winter heating bills are unaffected.

What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect?

Maintenance consists of rinsing or replacing the MERV-rated air filter every 3–6 months and ensuring the condensate line stays clear. We include a complimentary annual performance check with our Comfort Club plan. Most manufacturers offer a 5-year parts warranty and we back our labor for 1 year, giving you peace of mind after installation.
