FAQs
Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier to my heating and air-conditioning system in Manchester?
Greater Manchesterâs maritime climate means high relative humidity for much of the year. Excess moisture encourages mould growth, dust mites and that clammy feeling even when the thermostat is set correctly. A properly sized dehumidifier removes this excess water vapour, improving indoor air quality, protecting furnishings from warping, and making your home feel 2â3 °C cooler at the same temperature settingâso you can lower A/C run-time and cut energy bills.
How will your certified technicians integrate a dehumidifier with my existing HVAC equipment?
Our F-Gas-certified engineers start with a humidity load calculation and a quick inspection of your furnace/air-handler cabinet and return-air ductwork. We then: 1. Select a compatible whole-home unit that can be hard-wired to your blower controls. 2. Create a dedicated bypass or supply-air connection so the dehumidifier treats the entire air stream rather than a single room. 3. Pipe condensate safely to a nearby drain with an overflow shut-off switch. 4. Wire the unit to an independent humidistat or to your smart thermostat if it supports humidity control. 5. Test airflow, refrigerant pressures and duct integrity before commissioning. The entire process meets BS EN 378 safety standards and keeps your manufacturer warranty intact.
What size dehumidifier will I need for my property?
Capacity is expressed in litres of water removed per day. As a rule of thumb, a 150 m² semi-detached home in Manchester needs about 25â30 L/day; larger or heavily insulated properties may require 40 L/day or more. We perform a Manual J moisture load assessment that considers square footage, number of occupants, ventilation rate, and typical indoor activities (showers, cooking, etc.) to specify the correct unit so youâre not over-paying on equipment or electricity.
How long does installation take and will my HVAC system be offline?
Most residential installations are completed in 3â5 hours. We schedule around your convenience and keep your heating/cooling downtime to under 30 minutes while we tie into the ductwork. Because we pre-assemble the mounting kit and electrical whips off-site, disruption is minimal and your system is back online the same day.
How much does professional dehumidifier installation cost in Manchester and what affects the price?
Total investment typically ranges from ÂŁ950 to ÂŁ1,650, which includes equipment, labour, condensate pump, electrical isolation switch, and VAT. Variables that can move the price up or down are: required capacity, accessibility of ductwork (loft vs. basement), need for new drainage, and whether you choose basic humidistat controls or a Wi-Fi-enabled smart controller.
What maintenance and warranty support do you provide after installation?
All units come with a 5-year manufacturer parts warranty, and our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. During your annual HVAC tune-up, our technicians clean the dehumidifierâs coil, replace or wash its MERV-rated filter, test the condensate pump and calibrate the humidistat. We also offer a low-cost service plan that includes priority call-outs and replacement filters so you can set and forget.
