FAQs

Why should I consider a whole-home dehumidifier for my Helenwood residence?

East Tennessee’s warm, rainy seasons often push indoor humidity above the ideal 30-50 % range. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth, musty odors, warped wood, and higher cooling bills. A professionally installed whole-home dehumidifier removes moisture at the air handler, protecting the entire house and helping your HVAC system run more efficiently and last longer.

How do I determine the correct dehumidifier capacity for my home?

Proper sizing is based on square footage, typical humidity levels, number of occupants, and specific moisture sources such as a basement or crawl space. During our free in-home evaluation, a comfort specialist measures relative humidity, calculates air changes per hour, and recommends the right pint-per-day capacity to ensure balanced humidity without over-drying or wasting energy.

Can a dehumidifier be integrated with my existing heating and air conditioning system?

Yes. We install whole-house dehumidifiers in line with your return ductwork or as a dedicated bypass system. They share the HVAC blower, thermostat control, and drainage, so you don’t need extra floor space or separate units in each room. Integration also allows the equipment to work in tandem with your air conditioner to hit both temperature and humidity set points.

What does the installation process involve and how long will it take?

Most residential installations are completed in a single day. Our certified technicians mount the dehumidifier near the air handler, connect it to the duct system, wire it to the control board or dedicated humidistat, install a condensate drain to a safe discharge point, and program the settings for your comfort goals. We test static pressure, airflow, and humidity before leaving your home.

How much maintenance will my new dehumidifier need?

Maintenance is minimal. Replace or clean the unit’s air filter every 6–12 months (often the same schedule as your HVAC filter), ensure the condensate line remains clear, and have the coil inspected during your annual HVAC tune-up. Most systems have a 5-year factory warranty, and our service plans cover filter changes and performance checks to keep your warranty intact.

Will adding a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?

The unit does draw electricity, but homeowners usually see net savings. Lower indoor humidity lets you set the thermostat 2–3 °F higher while feeling just as cool, easing the air-conditioner load. It also reduces wear on your HVAC equipment and helps prevent costly moisture-related repairs. ENERGY STAR®-rated models typically add only $2-$4 per month while saving more on cooling costs.
