FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for homes in Jonesborough, TN?
Jonesboroughâs warm, humid summers can push indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 30-50% range. Excess moisture encourages mold, mildew, dust mites, wood rot, and musty odors. A professionally installed whole-home dehumidifier ties into your HVAC ductwork and automatically removes moisture before air circulates through the house, protecting your familyâs health, improving comfort, and safeguarding the structure of your home.
How does a dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
During installation, our technicians mount the dehumidifier in line with your return or supply ductwork and wire it to your HVAC blower or dedicated controls. When humidity rises above your set point, the unit draws moist indoor air through its coil, condenses and drains the water, then delivers drier air back into the duct system. Because it works in tandem with your central HVAC, you enjoy balanced humidity in every conditioned room without adding extra standalone units.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
The dehumidifier does consume electricity, but most homeowners see a net energy benefit. Drier air feels cooler, so you can raise the thermostat 2-3°F and run the air-conditioner less. Reduced AC runtime plus lower strain on the cooling coil typically offset the dehumidifierâs power draw. In many cases, customers in Jonesborough report steady or even lower overall summer energy costs while enjoying greater comfort.
What size dehumidifier does my home need?
Proper sizing depends on the homeâs square footage, moisture load, basement or crawl-space conditions, and local climate data. We perform a load calculation using ACCA Manual J guidelines and measure indoor RH levels. Most East Tennessee homes require units between 70â120 pints per day, but oversized equipment can short-cycle and waste energy. Our comfort consultant will provide a written sizing recommendation during your free in-home assessment.
How much maintenance is required after installation?
Maintenance is minimal. Simply replace or wash the dehumidifierâs air filter every 3â6 months, check that the condensate line is clear, and confirm the drain pan is clean. During your bi-annual HVAC tune-ups, our technicians will also inspect the dehumidifier coil, blower, and controls, ensuring peak efficiency and prolonging the manufacturerâs warranty coverage.
What warranties and rebates are available for dehumidifier installations in Jonesborough?
Most major brands offer 5-year parts and 1-year labor warranties, with optional 10-year extended coverage. As a certified dealer, we register your equipment for full warranty benefits and provide our own 1-year workmanship guarantee. While Tennessee currently has no statewide rebates, Washington County customers may qualify for TVA EnergyRight financing or seasonal utility incentives. Weâll help you apply for any available programs and file the required paperwork.
