FAQs
Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier in Thorn Hill’s climate?
Thorn Hill experiences muggy summers and shoulder seasons when indoor humidity can exceed 60 %. Excess moisture makes your air conditioning work harder, promotes mold growth, warps woodwork, and aggravates allergies. A professionally installed dehumidifier keeps relative humidity in the ideal 40-50 % range, improving comfort, protecting your home and furnishings, and reducing cooling costs by letting you raise the thermostat a few degrees without feeling sticky.
What does your dehumidifier installation service include?
Our turnkey service covers everything: a no-cost in-home evaluation, precise load calculations to match the dehumidifier capacity to your square footage and existing HVAC system, delivery of the unit, all ductwork modifications or dedicated return/ supply connections, integrated humidistat controls, condensate drain routing with a safety float switch, startup calibration, and homeowner training. We also haul away packaging and leave the work area spotless.
How do I know what size dehumidifier my home needs?
Size is determined by square footage, ceiling height, typical occupancy, infiltration level, and latent loads from cooking, showers, or a basement. During our assessment we measure these factors and use ACCA Manual LL guidelines to calculate pints per day of moisture removal required. Choosing the right capacity prevents short-cycling, maximizes energy efficiency, and ensures consistent humidity control in every room.
Will installing a dehumidifier affect my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
The unit is designed to work in harmony with your HVAC equipment. It ties into the return or supply plenum and has its own fan, so it can run independently when the AC or furnace is off. We set the controls so the dehumidifier will not over-dry the air during winter heating mode. Proper installation actually lightens the latent load on your air conditioner, extending its service life and lowering energy consumption.
How long does installation take, and when can I schedule?
Most residential installations are completed in one day—typically 4–6 hours—without the need for you to take extended time off work. After the evaluation, we can schedule within 2–5 business days, subject to equipment availability. Our team arrives in a 2-hour window, wears shoe covers, and communicates progress throughout the job so you’re never left wondering what’s next.
What maintenance and warranty support do you provide after installation?
Every dehumidifier comes with a 5-year manufacturer parts warranty, and we back our workmanship with a 1-year labor guarantee. We offer optional annual maintenance plans that include filter replacement, coil cleaning, drain inspection, and calibration of the humidistat for optimal efficiency. Even without a plan, we send seasonal email reminders and are available 24 / 7 for any questions or service needs.
