FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-home dehumidifier in Kodak, TN?
Kodak’s hot, muggy summers and mild, wet winters push indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 30-50% range. Excess moisture can trigger mold growth, musty odors, warped wood floors, and aggravated allergies. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier removes this excess moisture through your existing ductwork, protecting your home’s structure, improving indoor air quality, and making your air-conditioning system run more efficiently by reducing the latent (moisture) load.
How is a dehumidifier installed with my current heating and air-conditioning system?
Our licensed technicians mount the dehumidifier in line with your supply or return ductwork, usually near the air handler. We add a dedicated condensate drain, tie the controls into your HVAC thermostat or a wall-mounted humidistat, and program the new equipment to work in tandem with your AC so both systems don’t compete for humidity control. Because the unit uses existing ducts and the blower motor you already have, there is no need for additional registers or extensive remodeling.
What size or capacity dehumidifier do I need for my home?
Sizing is based on square footage, ceiling height, average infiltration rate, and your home’s latent load. During our free in-home assessment we measure each factor and apply ACCA Manual LL guidelines to recommend the correct pint-per-day capacity—most Kodak homes fall between 70-130 pint units. Correct sizing ensures maximum moisture removal without short-cycling, excessive energy use, or premature wear.
How long does the installation take and will it disrupt my day?
A standard whole-home dehumidifier installation in Kodak typically takes 3-5 hours. Because we work in the mechanical room, crawl space, or attic where the air handler sits, there is minimal disturbance inside your living spaces. Power and HVAC will only be shut off for brief periods while we make electrical connections and tie into the ductwork. You can remain in your home the entire time.
How much does a professionally installed dehumidifier cost, and are there rebates available?
Most installed systems range from $1,900–$3,500 depending on capacity, duct modifications, and drain routing. Kodak Utility Board and TVA periodically offer rebates of $150–$300 for ENERGY STAR-rated dehumidifiers when installed by a licensed HVAC contractor. We’ll check current incentives, handle the paperwork, and apply the rebate as an instant discount whenever possible.
What kind of maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?
Annual maintenance is simple: replace or clean the unit’s air filter, flush the condensate line, clean the coil, and verify the humidistat calibration. We include the first-year tune-up with every installation and offer affordable HVAC service plans that cover both your heating/air system and the dehumidifier. With proper maintenance, most units last 10-15 years and carry 5-year manufacturer parts warranties.
