FAQs

Why should I consider a whole-home dehumidifier for my property in Elora?

Elora’s warm, humid summers and shoulder-season moisture can push indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 30-50 % range. Excess moisture leads to mould growth, musty odours, dust-mite proliferation, warped woodwork and higher cooling bills. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier integrated into your heating and air-conditioning system automatically removes moisture from every room, protects the building structure, and keeps you comfortable without having to over-cool the house.

What signs indicate I need a professionally installed dehumidifier?

Common red flags include condensation on windows, a persistent damp or musty smell, visible mould spots on walls or ceilings, sticky or clammy indoor air, increased allergy or asthma symptoms, and difficulty keeping the house comfortable despite the air conditioner running. If portable units are running constantly yet humidity readings remain above 55 %, it’s time to have a technician assess your HVAC system for a whole-home solution.

What does the installation process involve when your factory-trained technicians handle the job?

1. Load Calculation: We measure square footage, insulation, air-flow and current RH levels to size the unit correctly. 2. System Integration: The dehumidifier is tied into your existing supply/return ductwork or a dedicated bypass so it conditions the entire home. 3. Drainage & Electrical: We run a condensate line to a floor drain or condensate pump and install a dedicated power circuit if required. 4. Controls & Calibration: A digital humidistat or smart-thermostat module is mounted in a central location and programmed for optimal RH set-points. 5. Testing & Training: We verify airflow, condensate removal, and controls, then show you filter maintenance and settings. Most installations are completed in half a day with minimal disruption.

Will installation damage my finished basement or disrupt my daily routine?

Our technicians use drop cloths, shoe covers and vacuum-equipped tools to keep your home clean. Because most of the work occurs in the mechanical room and existing duct chase, drywall removal is rarely necessary. Power may be shut off to the HVAC system for about 30 minutes during wiring. Homeowners can remain in the house, and heating/cooling service is restored the same day.

How do factory-trained technicians protect my HVAC warranty and ensure long-term performance?

All of our installers have completed manufacturer training on the specific dehumidifier brands we carry. This means: • Proper refrigerant handling and electrical connections that meet CSA and TSSA codes. • Use of approved accessories (drain traps, vibration isolators, filters) so factory warranties stay intact. • Accurate system commissioning with calibrated manometers and hygrometers to document airflow and RH for your records. • Availability of OEM replacement parts and routine maintenance plans to keep efficiency high and operating costs low.

What does a whole-home dehumidifier cost in Elora and are rebates available?

Installed pricing typically ranges from $2,500–$4,200 depending on capacity (70–130 pints/day), duct modifications and control options. Energy-efficient models may qualify for the Enbridge Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) program or up to $300 through the Canada Greener Homes Grant when combined with other measures. We provide a detailed quote, help file rebate paperwork, and offer financing plans starting under $60/month to make the investment affordable.
