FAQs

Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for homes in Tullahoma?

Middle Tennessee experiences long, humid summers, and that excess moisture can lead to mold growth, musty odors, warped wood, and a heavy load on your air conditioner. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier removes the extra humidity before it circulates through the ductwork, keeping indoor relative humidity in the ideal 45–50 % range, improving comfort, protecting furnishings, and lowering cooling costs.

How do you determine the right dehumidifier size for my house?

During our in-home assessment we measure square footage, ceiling height, existing insulation, infiltration rates, and average indoor humidity readings. We then match those figures against AHRI guidelines to calculate the required pints-per-day removal rate. Selecting the correct capacity prevents short-cycling, maximizes energy efficiency, and ensures consistent humidity control in every conditioned zone.

Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?

It actually tends to lower overall energy use. By wringing moisture out of the air, a dehumidifier allows you to set the thermostat 2–3 °F higher without feeling sticky. Your air conditioner runs less often, offsetting the modest electricity the dehumidifier consumes. Most homeowners in Tullahoma see net savings of 5–12 % on summer cooling costs after installation.

How is a whole-home dehumidifier installed in an existing HVAC system?

We integrate the unit into the return-air plenum or a dedicated bypass duct. The dehumidifier draws warm, humid air, condenses and drains the moisture via PVC to a nearby condensate pump or floor drain, and then supplies the dried air back into the supply trunk. Installation usually takes one day and does not require major modifications to your furnace or air handler.

What routine maintenance does my dehumidifier require?

Once or twice a year, replace or rinse the internal air filter, clear the condensate line, and verify the RH set-point on the digital controller. During your spring or fall HVAC tune-up, our technicians also clean the coil, check refrigerant pressures, inspect electrical connections, and test the float switch to keep the manufacturer’s warranty intact.

How much does professional dehumidifier installation cost in Tullahoma?

Pricing depends on capacity, ducting complexity, and any required electrical upgrades. For most 1,800–3,200 sq ft homes, turnkey installation ranges from $2,200–$3,800. We provide upfront, itemized quotes and offer 0 % APR financing options to spread payments over 12–36 months.
