FAQs

Why would homes in Deer Lodge benefit from a whole-house dehumidifier?

Although Deer Lodge sits in a cool mountain valley, summertime humidity can still climb above 60 % RH, especially in basements and crawl spaces. Excess moisture encourages mold growth, musty odors, dust-mite activity, and warped wood. A whole-house dehumidifier pulls moisture from every supply register, creating a drier, healthier living space, protecting your home’s structure, and making your air-conditioning system run more efficiently.

How do your certified HVAC pros integrate a dehumidifier with my existing heating and cooling system?

Our technicians are EPA-licensed and NATE-certified. After a moisture survey, we select a unit sized for your square footage and duct capacity. The dehumidifier is mounted in parallel with the return-air plenum or in a dedicated bypass loop, then hard-ducted to the supply side so dry air is distributed evenly. We install a condensate pump or gravity drain, wire the unit to a dedicated 120 V/240 V circuit, and program a wall-mounted or Wi-Fi humidity controller that communicates with your furnace or heat pump.

What size dehumidifier do I need and how is capacity determined?

Residential whole-house models are rated in pints of water removed per day (70–155 pints). We calculate required capacity using ACCA Manual J load data, factoring square footage, ceiling height, average indoor RH, infiltration rate, and special moisture loads such as indoor pools or crawl spaces. Choosing the right size prevents short-cycling, minimizes energy use, and maintains a stable 45–50 % RH throughout the home.

How long does installation take and will it disrupt my household?

A standard retrofit in an accessible basement or mechanical room typically takes 4–6 hours. Our crew protects floors with drop cloths, cuts and seals ducts with low-VOC mastic, and cleans up thoroughly. Your HVAC system is shut off only during final electrical tie-in, usually less than 30 minutes, so downtime and disruption are minimal.

What is the average cost of professional dehumidifier installation in Deer Lodge, and are financing or rebates available?

Installed pricing ranges from $2,100 to $3,600, depending on unit capacity, duct modifications, and electrical work. We offer 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months with approved credit. Northwestern Energy customers may qualify for $150–$300 efficiency rebates when a dehumidifier is paired with an ENERGY STAR® air-conditioning system; we handle all paperwork for you.

What maintenance does a whole-house dehumidifier require and can you service it for me?

Routine care involves rinsing or replacing the MERV-8 pre-filter every 3–6 months, confirming the drain line is clear, and vacuuming the heat-exchange core annually. Our Comfort Club plan includes two visits per year, priority scheduling, and a 15 % parts discount. Membership ensures your dehumidifier maintains peak performance and your warranty stays valid.
