FAQs
Why should I consider adding a whole-home dehumidifier in Spring Cityâs humid climate?
Even though our summers arenât tropical, Spring Cityâs valley location traps moisture, making indoor relative humidity climb above the comfort range of 30â50 %. Excess moisture encourages mold, dust mites, musty odors, and can cause wood floors or furniture to warp. A whole-home dehumidifier draws moisture off the air as it travels through your ductwork, protecting your home and helping your existing air conditioner cool more efficiently.
How does a dehumidifier connect to my current conditioned-air heating and air-conditioning system?
We install the dehumidifier in line with your return-air duct and tie it into the supply plenum, so every room benefits. A dedicated condensate drain line carries water to a floor drain or condensate pump. The unit is wired to your HVAC control board or to a separate humidistat, allowing automatic operation whenever indoor humidity rises above the setpoint, whether or not the A/C is running.
What size dehumidifier do I need for my house?
Sizing is based on square footage, ceiling height, air-infiltration rate, and the moisture load created by occupants, cooking, showers, and basement conditions. During your free in-home evaluation, our technician measures these factors and refers to ACCA Manual S guidelines to recommend a unit that can remove the required pints per day without short-cycling. For most 2,000â3,000 ft² Spring City homes, capacities range from 70 to 120 pints/day.
Will a dehumidifier raise my utility bills?
A dehumidifier uses electricity, but it often lowers overall energy costs. Drier air feels cooler, so you can set the thermostat 2-3 °F higher without sacrificing comfort. Your air conditioner also runs shorter cycles because it no longer has to do all the moisture removal itself. Most homeowners see a slight decrease or break-even on summer bills and no change in winter because the unit rarely runs when the furnace is on.
How long does installation take and will it be disruptive?
Standard installations take about 4â6 hours. We protect floors, wear booties, and keep duct cuts confined to the mechanical room or basement. Your HVAC system will be off for less than an hour while we make the duct connections. When finished, we test-run the unit, set the humidistat, and show you how to read the display. You can resume normal household activities the same day.
What maintenance, warranty, and service plans are available?
The only routine maintenance is rinsing or replacing the dehumidifierâs MERV-rated filter every 6â12 months; we can sync this with your HVAC filter change. All models we install carry a 5-year parts warranty and 1-year labor warranty, with optional 10-year extended coverage. Our Comfort Shield service plan includes an annual humidity check, coil cleaning, and filter replacement to keep your system running at peak performance.
