FAQs

Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for indoor air quality in Lancing’s climate?

Lancing experiences mild, damp winters and humid summer periods, which can push indoor relative humidity above the recommended 30–50 % range. Excess humidity encourages mould growth, dust-mite populations, and musty odours, all of which aggravate allergies and respiratory issues. A properly sized, ducted dehumidifier extracts moisture from the air before it circulates through your home, helping prevent condensation on windows and structural damage such as warped wood or peeling paint. By keeping humidity in check year-round, you create a healthier living environment and relieve the workload on your air-conditioning system, often improving comfort at higher thermostat settings.

How does a whole-home dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?

We install the dehumidifier in line with your home’s supply or return ductwork, so it treats all the air that flows through your HVAC system. A dedicated condensate line safely drains the collected water to a sump or exterior outlet. The unit operates automatically using its own digital humidistat or can be wired into your smart thermostat for single-point control. Because the dehumidifier shares the blower fan, it can run independently of heating or cooling cycles, allowing it to manage moisture without over-cooling or over-heating the house. Our technicians programme airflow rates and control wiring to ensure seamless, energy-efficient operation.

What size or capacity dehumidifier will my home need?

Capacity is measured in litres (or pints) of water removed per day. We perform an on-site assessment that considers your home’s square footage, number of occupants, typical indoor humidity, insulation quality, and sources of moisture such as crawlspaces or indoor laundry. Most detached homes in Lancing require units rated between 45–90 litres per day, but larger or multi-storey properties may need 120 L+ models. Oversizing wastes energy, while undersizing fails to control moisture, so we calculate the optimal capacity and back it up with a performance guarantee.

What is the installation process and how long does it take?

A standard retrofit in an accessible loft or utility area usually takes 4–6 hours. We start by confirming the mounting location, clearing insulation as needed, and fitting vibration-isolating pads. Next, we cut into the ductwork and attach insulated take-offs for the inlet and outlet. Electrical connections are made to a dedicated fused spur, and the condensate line is routed with the correct fall or fitted with a condensate pump. Finally, we commission the system—checking airflow, refrigerant pressures, humidistat calibration, and leak testing all joints. You receive a demonstration of the controls plus a written installation certificate for your records.

Will running a dehumidifier add significantly to my energy bills?

Modern whole-home dehumidifiers use energy-efficient rotary compressors and EC fans. Depending on capacity, they draw 300–900 watts—about the same as a small portable heater—but they do not operate continuously. By removing moisture, they allow you to feel comfortable at a higher summer temperature set-point, often letting you raise the thermostat 1–2 °C and reduce air-conditioning runtime. In many cases, the energy saved by shorter AC cycles offsets most of the dehumidifier’s consumption, producing a negligible net change or even a slight reduction in your monthly bills.

What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect?

Maintenance is straightforward: replace or clean the MERV-rated air filter every 3–6 months, visually inspect the condensate line for clogs, and have our technician perform an annual service that includes coil cleaning, refrigerant check, and electrical testing. We offer a 5-year parts and labour warranty on the dehumidifier when it is installed and serviced by our team, plus optional extended coverage up to 10 years. Our maintenance plans provide priority call-outs and discounted filter packs, ensuring your unit continues to protect your home’s air quality with minimal hassle.
