FAQs
Why should Altamont homeowners consider a whole-home dehumidifier?
Altamont’s humid summers, frequent rain, and older, well-insulated homes can trap moisture indoors. Excess humidity encourages mold, mildew, dust mites, and even warped wood flooring or trim. A whole-home dehumidifier tied into your HVAC system pulls excess moisture from every room, protecting your home’s structure and your family’s respiratory health while making the air feel cooler and more comfortable.
How do I know what size dehumidifier my house needs?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, typical indoor humidity levels, basement conditions, and how airtight your home is. During our free in-home assessment, Warped Wood Heating & Air Conditioning measures relative humidity, evaluates insulation and ductwork, and performs a Manual J load calculation. We’ll then recommend a unit (measured in pints per day) that can maintain a target 45–50 % RH without short-cycling or running continuously, ensuring efficiency and longevity.
Can a dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and cooling equipment?
Yes. We install whole-home dehumidifiers in parallel with your current forced-air HVAC system. They share the same return and supply ductwork, so conditioned, dehumidified air distributes evenly through all vents. Our technicians add a dedicated condensate drain line and wire the unit to your HVAC or smart thermostat for coordinated operation. No major modifications to your furnace or AC are required.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
Most installations are completed in a single day. After the initial assessment and unit selection, our NATE-certified team: 1. Shuts off power and verifies duct pressure. 2. Cuts a precise opening in the return plenum and mounts the dehumidifier cabinet. 3. Connects insulated supply and return duct collars. 4. Installs a condensate pump or gravity drain to a sump or exterior line. 5. Integrates electrical and low-voltage controls with your HVAC system. 6. Calibrates humidity set points, tests for leaks, and cleans the site. You’ll receive a walkthrough on operation and maintenance before we leave.
Will a whole-home dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
A dehumidifier does consume electricity, but many homeowners see little to no net increase—and sometimes a decrease—because drier air feels cooler. Lower indoor humidity allows you to raise the thermostat 2–3 °F without losing comfort, reducing AC run time. ENERGY STAR®-rated models we install draw as little as 4–6 amps and can save up to 15 % on cooling costs while preventing moisture-related repairs.
What warranties and maintenance services do you provide after installation?
Warped Wood Heating & Air Conditioning includes a 5-year parts and 1-year labor warranty on all whole-home dehumidifiers we install. Extended 10-year coverage is available. Annual maintenance plans include filter replacement, coil cleaning, drain-line flushing, and performance verification for a low yearly fee. Plan members also receive priority scheduling and discounts on any additional HVAC or indoor-air-quality services in the Altamont area.
