FAQs
What does it mean that your technicians are NATE-certified, and why does it matter for dehumidifier installation?
NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification is the HVAC industry’s highest standard for technical skill and ongoing education. When you hire our Halls team, you’re getting technicians who have passed rigorous exams covering air distribution, refrigeration, system design, and indoor air quality—including whole-home dehumidifiers. Their certification ensures your new unit is sized correctly, integrated safely with your heating and air conditioning equipment, and calibrated for maximum moisture removal and energy efficiency.
How can a whole-home dehumidifier improve the efficiency of my heating and air conditioning system in Halls?
Humidity makes the air feel warmer in summer and clammy in winter. By drawing excess moisture out of the air, a dehumidifier allows your air conditioner to cool more effectively and lets your furnace operate without that damp chill. In many Halls homes, reducing humidity by just a few percentage points lets you raise the thermostat setting 2 –3 °F in summer—or lower it slightly in winter—cutting energy consumption by up to 15 %. You’ll get better comfort while easing the workload on your HVAC equipment, extending its service life.
Will a dehumidifier be compatible with my existing HVAC system, or do I need new equipment?
In most cases, a whole-home dehumidifier can be added to your current ductwork and controlled by the same thermostat or a dedicated humidity controller. Our NATE-certified technicians perform a detailed inspection of your furnace, air handler, and duct layout to confirm compatibility. If minor upgrades—such as a return-air collar or condensate pump—are needed, we’ll explain them up front. Only severely undersized or obsolete HVAC systems would require a more extensive retrofit, and we’ll provide clear options before any work begins.
How long does a professional dehumidifier installation take, and what should I expect on the day of service?
A standard installation in Halls typically takes 3–5 hours. Our crew arrives within a pre-confirmed window, protects floors with drop cloths, and shuts off power to the HVAC system. We cut in the supply and return duct connections, mount the unit, run the condensate line to a safe drain, wire the controls, and test the system. Before leaving, we’ll demonstrate the humidity set-point adjustment and show you how to clean the filter. All work is backed by our workmanship guarantee and manufacturer warranty registration.
How do I know what size dehumidifier my home needs?
Sizing depends on square footage, average indoor humidity levels, the tightness of your building envelope, and your family’s lifestyle. During a free in-home assessment, our NATE-certified technician measures the living area, inspects insulation and ventilation, and uses a hygrometer to record real-time moisture levels. We then recommend a unit rated in pints per day that can maintain 45–50 % relative humidity under Halls’ peak summer conditions without short-cycling or overworking, ensuring both comfort and energy savings.
What maintenance is required after installation, and do you offer service plans?
Whole-home dehumidifiers are low-maintenance: simply rinse or replace the air filter every 3–6 months and keep the condensate line clear. During your regular spring or fall HVAC tune-up, our technicians also check the coil, blower wheel, and humidity controller settings. We offer affordable Comfort Club plans for Halls residents that bundle these inspections with priority scheduling, discount parts, and extended labor coverage—keeping your dehumidifier and entire HVAC system running smoothly year-round.
