FAQs

Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier in Winfield’s climate?

Winfield’s warm, often rainy summers leave indoor relative humidity hovering above the ideal 45–50 %. Excess moisture makes your house feel muggy, encourages mold, dust-mite growth and musty odors, and can warp wood floors or furniture. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier pulls the extra moisture out of the air before it circulates through your ducts, creating a healthier living space, reducing allergy triggers and helping your air-conditioner run more efficiently.

How do your technicians decide which dehumidifier is right for my home?

During the free in-home assessment, our EPA-certified technicians measure square footage, ceiling height, basement conditions and infiltration points, then perform a humidity load calculation similar to a Manual J. We match those numbers to a dehumidifier rated in pints per day, check static-pressure limits of your ductwork and discuss features such as integrated humidistats, MERV-rated filters and smart-home compatibility. Only equipment that meets the ENERGY STAR standard and local Winfield building codes is recommended.

What happens on installation day and how long will the job take?

Most installations are completed in 2–4 hours. We turn off power to the HVAC system, mount the dehumidifier in line with your return-air duct or in the basement mechanical room, add insulated supply and bypass ducts if needed, and install a dedicated condensate drain that ties into an existing plumbing line or sump. The unit is then wired to an independent humidistat or your smart thermostat, calibrated for 45–50 % RH, and run-tested through an entire cycle. Before we leave, you’ll receive a quick walk-through and written warranty paperwork.

Will running a dehumidifier raise my energy bills?

A whole-home dehumidifier uses electricity—typically 3–5 kWh per day during peak summer—but by removing latent heat it allows your air-conditioner to cycle less often and at a higher set-point. Many Winfield homeowners see little to no net increase, and some report savings of 5–10 % on cooling costs. Choosing an ENERGY STAR model and keeping filters clean maximizes efficiency.

Can my existing HVAC system integrate with a new dehumidifier?

In most cases, yes. We inspect blower capacity, static pressure and available return-air plenum space. If your furnace or air handler was installed within the last 15 years, it likely has the airflow needed. Older or undersized systems may require a minor duct modification or an in-room (stand-alone) dehumidifier. We’ll provide options and upfront pricing before any work begins.

What maintenance does a dehumidifier need and do you offer service plans?

Whole-home units are low-maintenance: replace or clean the air filter every 3–6 months, flush the condensate line annually and have the coil inspected for dust buildup. Our Comfort Club plan includes two visits a year—one for your HVAC system and one for the dehumidifier—plus priority service and parts discounts. Staying on a routine schedule preserves the manufacturer’s warranty and keeps indoor humidity right where you want it.
