FAQs
What does an in-home HVAC and dehumidifier assessment in Townsend include?
A certified comfort specialist will visit your home, evaluate your existing heating and cooling equipment, measure humidity levels in key areas, inspect ductwork and ventilation, and perform load calculations to determine the right-sized dehumidifier. We also discuss any comfort concerns you have, review energy bills to spot trends, and provide a written report with equipment options, pricing, and projected energy savings.
How long does the assessment take and do I need to prepare anything?
Most assessments take 60–90 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of your home. To streamline the visit, clear access to mechanical rooms, the electrical panel, and attic/crawl spaces if applicable. Having your last 12 months of utility bills handy helps us make more accurate efficiency recommendations.
Is there a cost for the in-home assessment?
In Townsend, we offer the assessment at no charge to homeowners within our normal service radius. If you live outside the radius or request evening/weekend appointments, a modest trip fee may apply, which is credited back should you proceed with an installation.
What benefits can I expect from a professionally installed whole-house dehumidifier?
A whole-house dehumidifier works with your HVAC system to maintain optimal indoor RH (40–50%), making your home feel cooler in summer, reducing the load on your air conditioner, and helping prevent mold growth, musty odors, and structural damage from excess moisture. Many customers report lower energy bills and improved indoor air quality almost immediately.
How is a whole-house unit different from a portable dehumidifier I can buy at a store?
Portable units treat only one room, require you to empty buckets, and typically last 3-5 years. A whole-house dehumidifier is integrated into your ductwork, automatically drains to a condensate line, and treats every conditioned space in the home. It runs more quietly, is energy-efficient, and has a lifespan of 10-15 years with proper maintenance.
What maintenance or follow-up service is needed after installation?
We recommend an annual maintenance visit where we clean coils, check the drain line, change the dehumidifier filter, verify humidistat calibration, and inspect overall HVAC performance. Many customers bundle this with their spring or fall HVAC tune-up to keep the entire system running at peak efficiency and maintain warranty coverage.
