FAQs
Why should I have a whole-house dehumidifier professionally installed in my Harrison home?
A properly sized, whole-house dehumidifier removes excess moisture from every room, helping prevent mold growth, dust-mite proliferation, and musty odors. Our licensed HVAC technicians integrate the unit with your existing heating and air-conditioning system, ensuring balanced humidity control without compromising airflow or efficiency. Professional installation also guarantees compliance with New York State mechanical codes and keeps the manufacturer’s warranty intact.
How do your technicians determine the right dehumidifier size and capacity?
During an in-home assessment, we measure square footage, ceiling height, current humidity levels, duct layout, and existing HVAC capacity. We also consider factors like basement dampness, number of occupants, and typical weather patterns in the Harrison area. Using these data points and ACCA Manual J guidelines, we match your home with a dehumidifier that can maintain 45–55% relative humidity without excessive cycling, maximizing comfort and energy savings.
What is the typical cost of a whole-house dehumidifier installation in Harrison?
Installed pricing generally ranges from $2,200 to $3,800, depending on unit capacity (70–130 pints per day), required duct modifications, dedicated drain line placement, and whether a new humidistat or smart thermostat is added. After our free on-site consultation, we provide a written, itemized quote that includes equipment, labor by our licensed technicians, permit fees, and a 1-year labor warranty.
How long does the installation take, and will my HVAC system be offline?
Most installations are completed in one day. We start by shutting off power to your air handler, cut in the supply and return duct connections, mount the dehumidifier on vibration-isolating hangers or a floor stand, run a condensate drain to a nearby pump or floor drain, wire the controls, then test the system. Your heating or cooling may be offline for 2–3 hours; we schedule installations at a time that minimizes disruption for your household.
What maintenance is required after installation?
Whole-house dehumidifiers are low maintenance: 1) Rinse or replace the air filter every 3–6 months, 2) Inspect and flush the condensate drain annually to prevent clogs, and 3) Have our licensed technicians perform a full performance check during your regular HVAC tune-up. Many units include a built-in reminder light or app alert when service is due.
Can a dehumidifier improve my HVAC system’s efficiency?
Yes. By removing latent (moisture) load, your air conditioner can run shorter cycles while still achieving the same comfort level. During shoulder seasons when temperatures are mild but humidity is high, the dehumidifier handles moisture removal, allowing you to run the AC less often. Homes in humid Hudson Valley summers—like Harrison—often see 10–15% energy savings and significant comfort gains after installation.
