FAQs

Why would a home in Farragut need a whole-home dehumidifier?

East Tennessee’s warm, humid climate means indoor relative humidity often climbs above the ideal 40–50 %. Excess moisture can trigger mold growth, musty odors, warped wood floors and higher AC bills. A whole-home dehumidifier is integrated into your HVAC ductwork and automatically removes gallons of water per day, keeping every room comfortable and protecting your home and furnishings year-round.

How is a whole-home dehumidifier installed with my existing HVAC system?

Our NATE-certified technicians mount the dehumidifier cabinet in line with your return or supply ductwork and pipe a small condensate drain to a nearby plumbing line or condensate pump. The unit is then wired to the HVAC control board or dedicated humidistat so it can run independently of the air conditioner. Most installations take 4–6 hours and require no major remodeling.

Will a dehumidifier increase or decrease my energy bills?

In most cases, homeowners see overall energy savings. By wringing out moisture, the air feels cooler at a higher thermostat setting, so your AC runs less. The dehumidifier itself uses about the same electricity as a small window AC, but the reduction in air-conditioning run-time more than offsets that usage—often cutting summer energy costs by 5–15 %.

How much maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?

Very little. You’ll need to replace or clean the internal filter every 6–12 months and ensure the condensate drain stays clear. During your annual HVAC tune-up we’ll inspect the coil, blower and sensors, check refrigerant pressures and sanitize the cabinet. Most units carry a 5-year parts warranty and last 10–15 years with routine care.

Can a whole-home dehumidifier help with allergy or asthma symptoms?

Yes. Dust mites, mold spores and many bacteria thrive when relative humidity exceeds 50 %. By maintaining optimal humidity, a dehumidifier creates an environment that suppresses these allergens. Customers frequently report fewer sinus issues, reduced musty smells and an overall fresher, easier-to-breathe indoor atmosphere.

What size dehumidifier does my Farragut home need and how much does it cost?

Sizing is based on square footage, typical moisture load and existing HVAC capacity. Our comfort advisor performs a room-by-room load calculation to determine the required pints-per-day removal rate— usually 70–130 pints for a 2,000–3,500 sq ft home. Installed prices in Farragut range from $2,200 to $3,600, including the unit, labor, drain line, humidistat and a one-year workmanship guarantee.
