FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for homes in Crab Orchard?
Crab Orchardâs warm, humid summers create ideal conditions for dust mites, mold, and other allergens to thrive indoors. A whole-home dehumidifier keeps relative humidity in the 40-50 % range throughout the house, making it harder for these humidity-loving allergens to survive, protecting your familyâs health and your homeâs structure.
Will a dehumidifier help my air conditioner run more efficiently?
Yes. When indoor air is holding less moisture, your AC no longer has to work as hard to wring out humidity while it cools. This can reduce run-times, lower energy consumption, and extend equipment life. Many homeowners in Crab Orchard see energy savings of 5-15 % after adding a properly sized dehumidifier.
How is a whole-home dehumidifier installed?
Our certified technicians tie the dehumidifier directly into your existing supply-return ductwork near the air handler. The unit draws moist air from the return side, removes excess water, and sends the dried air back into the supply plenum for distribution. A dedicated drain line is run to a sump pump or floor drain, and a digital humidistat is mounted for precise control.
What size dehumidifier does my Crab Orchard home need?
Sizing depends on square footage, ceiling height, typical indoor humidity, basement or crawlspace conditions, and family lifestyle. During a free in-home assessment we measure these factors and perform load calculations to recommend a systemâusually in the 70â120 pints-per-day rangeâfor optimal moisture removal without wasting energy.
How much does professional dehumidifier installation cost?
Installed pricing in Crab Orchard typically ranges from $1,800 to $3,200. The final cost varies with unit capacity, duct modifications, condensate pump requirements, and whether you bundle installation with other HVAC upgrades. We provide a written quote up front and offer financing and utility-rebate guidance.
What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?
Maintenance is straightforward: replace or clean the air filter every 3-6 months, keep the drain line clear, and schedule an annual tune-up where we check refrigerant charge, coils, fan motor, and humidistat calibration. With proper care, quality units last 10â15 years while keeping allergens and moisture under control.
