FAQs

Why should I install a whole-home dehumidifier in Englewood’s climate?

Although Englewood is not as humid as coastal areas, summertime humidity regularly climbs above 55 % RH. Excess moisture encourages mold, dust mites, and musty odors and makes you feel warmer than the thermostat setting. A whole-home dehumidifier tied into your HVAC ductwork pulls moisture from every room, keeping indoor humidity in the ideal 45–50 % range. The result is better indoor air quality, fewer allergy triggers, and improved comfort without having to lower the A/C temperature.

How is a whole-home dehumidifier installed with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?

Our technicians mount the dehumidifier unit in line with your return-air duct or as a dedicated bypass connected to both supply and return ducts. A small control cable ties into your HVAC thermostat or a stand-alone humidistat. Condensate from the unit is routed to an existing drain or a new condensate pump. Because the system shares the blower and ductwork you already have, no additional registers or major remodeling is needed. Most installations are completed in a single visit and leave the furnace and air conditioner fully accessible for future service.

Will a whole-home dehumidifier raise or lower my energy bills?

In most Englewood homes the dehumidifier has a neutral or slightly positive effect on annual energy costs. The unit adds a small electrical load (typically 2–8 amps when running), but by removing latent heat it allows you to raise the thermostat 2–3 °F while feeling just as comfortable. Less run-time on your air conditioner offsets much of the dehumidifier’s draw. Many customers see a 5–10 % reduction in summer cooling costs and less wear on the A/C compressor.

What size dehumidifier does my home need?

Capacity is rated in pints of water removed per day. A 2,000- to 2,500-sq-ft Englewood home with average occupancy usually needs a 70–95-pint model. Larger homes, multiple floors, or high internal moisture loads (cooking, showers, houseplants) may justify a 120-pint unit. During our free in-home assessment we measure square footage, current RH levels, duct static pressure, and return-air availability to recommend the right size so the system runs efficiently without short-cycling.

How much maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?

Maintenance is minimal. Replace or clean the unit’s MERV-rated air filter every 6–12 months—often the same schedule as your furnace filter. Twice a year, check that the condensate line is clear and the drain trap has water. The evaporator coil should be inspected and cleaned by a technician every 2–3 years or during your regular HVAC tune-up. With proper care, most whole-home dehumidifiers last 10–15 years.

How long does installation take and what does it cost in Englewood?

Standard installations take about 4–6 hours, scheduled at your convenience. Homes with limited return-air access or requiring a new condensate pump can extend the visit slightly. Pricing in Englewood ranges from $2,200 to $3,400, which includes the dehumidifier unit, ductwork modifications, humidistat, drain connections, labor, and a one-year workmanship warranty. Utility rebates for energy-efficient indoor air quality upgrades may offset a portion of the cost—ask us for the latest local incentives.
