FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important in Farragutâs climate?
East Tennesseeâs warm, humid summers and frequently damp shoulder seasons often push indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 30â50 % range. Excess moisture encourages mold, mildew, dust mites, and musty odors while making rooms feel warmer than they actually are. A whole-home dehumidifier pulls moisture from every conditioned space, protecting your homeâs structure and furnishings, improving indoor air quality, and allowing you to set the thermostat a few degrees higher without sacrificing comfort.
How does a professionally installed dehumidifier integrate with my existing HVAC system?
During installation we mount the dehumidifier in line with your homeâs supply or return ductwork (or a dedicated bypass duct) so it treats all the air that the HVAC system handles. A condensate drain line safely removes extracted water to a floor drain or condensate pump. The unit is wired to its own humidistat or to your smart thermostat so it can run independently of the air conditioner, extracting moisture even when no cooling is needed. Because it shares the HVAC blower, airflow remains balanced and quiet.
What size dehumidifier do I need for my Farragut home?
Sizing is based on your homeâs square footage, typical moisture load, and HVAC airflow. During a free in-home assessment, we measure the living space, evaluate insulation, air-leakage levels, number of occupants, and moisture-generating activities (cooking, showering, etc.). We then match you with a unit that can remove the correct number of pints per dayâtypically 70â120 pints for most single-family homes. Proper sizing ensures efficient moisture removal without short-cycling or excessive energy use.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard whole-home dehumidifier install usually takes 4â6 hours. We schedule at your convenience, lay down protective drop cloths, and keep the work area containedâusually in the basement, crawl space, or mechanical closetâso household activity can continue normally. Power and HVAC will be briefly shut off while we make duct and electrical connections. We perform a start-up test, demonstrate controls, and clean up before leaving.
What maintenance does a dehumidifier require after installation?
Maintenance is minimal but important. 1) Replace or clean the unitâs air filter every 3â6 months to maintain airflow and efficiency. 2) Inspect and flush the condensate drain annually to prevent clogs. 3) Have our technician check the refrigerant circuit, blower motor, and humidistat calibration during your routine HVAC service visit. A well-maintained unit should last 10â15 years and remain under warranty when serviced according to the manufacturerâs schedule.
How much energy does a whole-home dehumidifier use, and will it affect my utility bills?
Modern whole-home units are Energy StarÂŽ-qualified and typically draw 4â7 ampsâabout the same as a small window A/C but they donât run continuously. Because removing moisture makes you feel cooler, most homeowners raise the thermostat 2â3 °F, which reduces air-conditioning run time and offsets the dehumidifierâs electricity use. In many Farragut homes, overall summer energy consumption stays level or even drops slightly while comfort and indoor air quality improve dramatically.
