FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for homes in Ten Mile?
Ten Mile’s proximity to Watts Bar Lake and the Tennessee River keeps outdoor relative humidity above 60 % for much of the year. Excess indoor humidity encourages mold, dust mites, musty odors, and premature HVAC wear. A dedicated dehumidifier connected to your ductwork removes moisture before it circulates through the house, helping you stay comfortable and protecting your home’s structure and furnishings all year long.
How will the dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
During installation we tap the dehumidifier into your supply and/or return ductwork, allowing it to treat all the air your central HVAC already distributes. The unit has its own fan and humidistat but can also be wired to your thermostat or smart-home controller for fully automatic operation. Condensate drains through a gravity line or condensate pump to a safe discharge point. The result is one seamless system that controls both temperature and humidity with a single set-and-forget control.
What size dehumidifier does my Ten Mile home need?
Sizing is based on square footage, ceiling height, typical occupancy, and measured indoor moisture load. Most single-family homes in Ten Mile require a 70- to 120-pint-per-day unit, while larger lakefront properties or finished basements may need 150 pints or more. Our technicians perform an in-home assessment, including hygrometer readings and a Manual J load calculation, to recommend the right capacity so you get effective moisture removal without unnecessary energy consumption.
What benefits will I notice after installation?
• Comfort: Lower humidity allows you to feel cooler at higher thermostat settings, reducing AC run time. • Health: Mold spores, bacteria, and dust-mite populations drop sharply below 50 % RH, improving indoor air quality and reducing allergy triggers. • Odor elimination: Musty smells in basements, crawl spaces, and closets disappear as moisture is removed. • Home protection: Wood floors stay flat, paint and drywall resist peeling, and electronics suffer less corrosion. • Energy savings: For every 1 °F you can raise your thermostat thanks to drier air, you save about 3 % on cooling costs.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my household?
A standard whole-home dehumidifier installation in Ten Mile typically takes 4–6 hours. We schedule at your convenience, protect work areas with drop cloths, and isolate the HVAC blower before cutting into ducts to prevent dust. Power is usually supplied from a nearby dedicated 120 V circuit; if none exists, our licensed electrician can add one the same day. When we leave, the new system is fully commissioned, the workspace is clean, and you can resume normal activities immediately.
What maintenance is required and do you offer service plans?
Routine upkeep involves rinsing or replacing the dehumidifier’s MERV-rated filter every 3–6 months, inspecting the drain line for clogs, and verifying humidistat accuracy annually. Our Comfort Care Plan covers these items plus a full HVAC inspection twice a year. Members receive priority scheduling, 15 % parts discounts, and automatic warranty documentation—ideal for busy homeowners and seasonal residents who want peace of mind their Ten Mile property stays dry and healthy.
