FAQs
Why should I install a whole-home dehumidifier in Harrison?
Harrison experiences warm, humid summers in which outdoor relative humidity routinely exceeds 70 %. That moisture seeps indoors, making your air feel warmer than it is, encouraging mold growth, and stressing your air-conditioning system. A whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture from every conditioned room, keeping indoor RH in the ideal 45–50 % range, which improves comfort, protects wood floors and furnishings, reduces allergy triggers, and can lower cooling energy use by up to 15 % because drier air feels cooler.
How does a whole-home dehumidifier connect to my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Our technicians install the dehumidifier in line with the home’s supply or return ductwork, so it treats the same air that moves through your furnace or air handler. A dedicated condensate line safely drains collected water, and the unit is wired to your HVAC control board or a stand-alone humidity controller. Because it shares the duct system, the dehumidifier conditions the entire house evenly without adding another noisy appliance in your living space.
What size dehumidifier will my house need?
Proper sizing depends on several factors: the square footage of conditioned space, average and peak indoor humidity levels, number of occupants, infiltration rate, and specific moisture sources such as crawlspaces or indoor pools. During a free in-home assessment we measure indoor RH, inspect insulation and duct leakage, and reference ACCA Manual LLH guidelines to calculate the required moisture removal capacity in pints per day. Oversizing wastes energy, while undersizing leaves the home clammy, so professional sizing is critical.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
Most residential installations take 4–6 hours. We begin by protecting floors and furniture, then cut minimal access points in the ductwork to mount the dehumidifier and add a bypass or dedicated return. Next we run a PVC drain to a floor drain or condensate pump, connect low-voltage control wiring, and seal all joints with mastic for airtight performance. Finally, we program the humidity set-point, test the condensate safety switches, and show you how to use the digital controller. No major construction is required, and your HVAC system remains operational throughout the process.
How much does a whole-home dehumidifier installation cost in Harrison?
Pricing varies with capacity, duct modifications, and control options, but most homes in the Harrison area fall between $2,200 and $3,800 installed before tax. This includes the dehumidifier unit (typically 70–120 pints/day), labor, condensate plumbing, controller, and a one-year labor warranty. Utility rebates or financing plans starting around $55 per month are available, and many homeowners recoup part of the investment through lower cooling bills and reduced maintenance on their air-conditioning equipment.
What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect?
Whole-home dehumidifiers require minimal upkeep: replace or rinse the MERV filter every 6–12 months and have the coils and drain line inspected annually during your HVAC tune-up. Our preferred brands carry a 5-year parts warranty, and we include a one-year labor warranty with optional extended coverage up to 10 years. If you enroll in our Comfort Club, we handle filter changes, coil cleaning, and performance checks each spring, ensuring the unit maintains peak efficiency and protecting your warranty.
