FAQs

How does adding a whole-home dehumidifier lower my energy bills in Seymour’s humid climate?

When indoor air holds less moisture, it feels cooler at a higher thermostat setting. A whole-home dehumidifier removes excess humidity before the air circulates through your ducts, allowing you to raise the thermostat 2-3 °F without sacrificing comfort. Every degree you raise the thermostat can trim cooling costs by about 3-5 %, so homeowners in Seymour often see 10-15 % savings during our muggy summer months.

What advantages does a professionally installed dehumidifier have over a portable plug-in unit?

Portable units treat air in only one room, need constant emptying, and typically draw more electricity per pint of water removed. A professionally installed dehumidifier ties into your HVAC ductwork, drying the entire home automatically and draining condensate to a sump or exterior line. Because it shares the HVAC blower and uses high-efficiency compressors, it can remove two to three times more moisture per kilowatt-hour than most portables, delivering lower operating costs and balanced humidity in every room.

Will the installation require major changes to my existing heating and air conditioning system?

In most homes the dehumidifier can be added with minimal disruption. We insert a small return-air bypass duct, connect a supply-air outlet, run a condensate drain, and tie the unit into your HVAC thermostat or a dedicated humidity controller. The furnace, air handler, and refrigerant lines stay intact. Typical installations take 4-6 hours, and your heating/cooling downtime is usually under half a day.

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

Capacity is measured in pints of moisture removed per day. We size the unit by calculating your home’s square footage, insulation levels, number of occupants, and typical indoor humidity readings. For Seymour’s climate, most 1,800–2,500 sq ft homes need a 70–95-pint unit, while larger or older, leakier homes may require 120 pints or more. A proper load calculation prevents short-cycling, maximizes energy efficiency, and protects woodwork, floors, and electronics from excess moisture.

What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier need, and what will it cost?

Maintenance is straightforward: replace or clean the air filter every 3–6 months, clear the drain line annually, and have the refrigeration circuit checked during your spring or fall HVAC tune-up. Filter sets cost $10–$25, and adding dehumidifier service to our standard HVAC maintenance visit is typically $25–$40. With basic care, units last 10–15 years and keep their energy-saving performance.

Are rebates or financing options available in Seymour for dehumidifier installations?

Yes. Duke Energy Indiana and TVA’s EnergyRight programs frequently offer $150–$300 rebates for adding whole-home dehumidifiers that meet ENERGY STAR® criteria. Our company also partners with Synchrony to provide 0 % APR financing for 12 months on qualifying energy-efficiency upgrades. We’ll handle the paperwork, confirm eligibility, and apply the rebate directly to your invoice so you realize savings up front.
