FAQs
Why would a home in Vonore need a whole-home dehumidifier?
East Tennessee’s warm, humid climate means indoor relative humidity can stay above the recommended 50 %. Excess moisture encourages mold, dust mites, musty odors, and structural damage. A whole-home dehumidifier tied into your HVAC system removes that moisture at the source, protecting your health, comfort, and home’s value year-round.
How is a professionally installed dehumidifier different from a portable unit I can buy at a store?
Portable units treat one room at a time, require you to empty buckets, and add heat to the space. A professionally installed whole-home dehumidifier is ducted into your supply or return plenum, quietly treats every conditioned room, drains automatically, and is controlled by the same thermostat or a dedicated humidistat for set-and-forget operation.
What size or capacity dehumidifier do I need for my house?
Capacity is based on your home’s square footage, typical moisture load, occupancy, and infiltration rate. Tailored Solutions performs a load calculation, measures indoor RH levels, and inspects crawlspaces or basements to recommend the proper pint-per-day unit. Oversizing wastes energy, while undersizing leaves you damp, so a professional assessment is essential.
Will installing a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
In most homes it will lower total energy costs. By wringing moisture from the air, your AC doesn’t have to run as long to reach the same comfort level, and you can set the thermostat a few degrees higher. Modern whole-home dehumidifiers use efficient compressors and EC fans; many models draw less power than a toaster.
How long does installation take and what does it involve?
A typical retrofit takes 4–6 hours. Our technicians mount the dehumidifier near your air handler or in a crawlspace, connect it to the supply/return ductwork, run a drain line to a condensate pump or gravity drain, wire the humidistat, and test airflow and controls. We protect flooring, seal all ducts, and clean up before we leave.
What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require after installation?
Maintenance is minimal—replace or rinse the air filter every 6–12 months, ensure the drain line remains clear, and have our team inspect the refrigeration coil and blower annually during your HVAC tune-up. With proper care, high-quality units last 10–15 years in Vonore’s climate.
