FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for Harrison’s climate?
Harrison experiences warm, humid summers and fluctuating temperatures in spring and fall. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth, musty odors, and increased allergy symptoms. A whole-home dehumidifier integrated with your HVAC system removes this excess humidity, protecting your home’s structure, improving indoor air quality, and making cooling more efficient, which can lower energy bills.
How is a dehumidifier installed in conjunction with my existing HVAC system?
Our technicians mount the dehumidifier in line with your return or supply ductwork, add a dedicated condensate drain, and integrate the unit with your thermostat or a humidistat controller. Electrical wiring is tied into a nearby circuit, and we test airflow to ensure balanced humidity control throughout the home. The installation typically takes 4–6 hours and is designed not to disrupt your current heating and cooling performance.
What size dehumidifier does my home in Harrison need?
Sizing depends on square footage, ceiling height, current moisture levels, and specific problem areas like basements or crawl spaces. During a free in-home assessment, we measure relative humidity, inspect for moisture intrusion, and perform load calculations. We then recommend a unit with the right pint-per-day capacity—typically 70–120 pints for most Harrison homes—to ensure optimal moisture removal without excessive energy use.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy consumption?
While the dehumidifier itself uses electricity, it allows your air conditioner to run less because dry air feels cooler and is easier to condition. Most homeowners see little to no net increase and, in many cases, a reduction in overall energy costs. ENERGY STAR®-rated models we install are designed for high moisture removal with minimal power draw.
How do I maintain my whole-home dehumidifier after installation?
Maintenance is simple. Replace or clean the air filter every 3–6 months, ensure the condensate drain line remains clear, and schedule an annual inspection with our HVAC team. During the tune-up we clean the coil, check electrical connections, calibrate the humidistat, and verify proper airflow, keeping your system efficient and under warranty.
Can a dehumidifier help with health issues like allergies and asthma?
Yes. Dust mites, mold spores, and some bacteria thrive in high humidity. By keeping indoor relative humidity between 40–50%, a whole-home dehumidifier reduces these allergens, leading to fewer respiratory irritations and a healthier living environment—especially beneficial for children, seniors, and anyone with asthma or seasonal allergies.
