FAQs

Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier to my HVAC system in Georgetown?

Central Texas humidity can linger even when your air conditioner is running. A whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture that causes clammy rooms, musty odors, mold growth, and higher cooling bills. By keeping indoor relative humidity in the ideal 40–50 % range, you’ll feel more comfortable at a higher thermostat setting, protect wood floors and furnishings, and improve indoor air quality.

How is a whole-home dehumidifier installed with my existing heating and air conditioning equipment?

Our technicians mount the dehumidifier in line with the return or supply plenum of your ductwork. The unit draws humid air through a dedicated bypass, removes moisture, and sends the dried air back into the supply stream. A condensate drain is tied into your home’s plumbing or an exterior discharge. We also wire the dehumidifier to its own digital controller or integrate it with your smart thermostat so humidity can be managed automatically year-round.

Will a dehumidifier increase my energy costs?

Most homeowners see a net savings. Because drier air feels cooler, you can raise the AC set-point 2–3 °F and run your air conditioner less. Whole-home dehumidifiers typically draw 3–6 amps—about the same as a desktop computer—far less than an air conditioner compressor. The result is lower overall cooling energy and reduced wear on your AC.

What size or capacity dehumidifier do I need for my house?

Proper sizing is based on square footage, typical indoor moisture load, existing insulation levels, and how airtight your home is. During a free in-home assessment, we perform a Manual J humidity calculation and recommend a unit measured in pints per day (usually 70–130 pints for Georgetown homes). Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized models run constantly and can’t maintain target humidity.

How much does professional whole-home dehumidifier installation cost in Georgetown?

Installed pricing generally ranges from $2,200 to $3,800 depending on capacity, duct modifications, and control options. The quote we provide includes the dehumidifier, mounting materials, electrical hookup, condensate drainage, start-up calibration, and a 1-year labor warranty. We offer financing plans and can bundle the project with other HVAC upgrades for additional savings.

What maintenance does the system require after installation?

Maintenance is straightforward: replace or wash the dehumidifier’s air filter every 6–12 months, clean the internal coil annually, and ensure the condensate line stays clear. We include the first-year tune-up with installation and offer affordable maintenance agreements thereafter. With regular service, today’s whole-home units typically last 10–15 years.
