FAQs
Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier in Maynardville?
East Tennessee’s warm, humid summers can push indoor humidity well above the recommended 30-50 %. Excess moisture promotes mold, musty odors, wood warping, and allergy symptoms. A whole-home dehumidifier tied into your HVAC system removes this excess moisture continuously, creating healthier air, protecting furnishings, and helping your air-conditioner run more efficiently.
What makes a “factory-trained” technician different when installing a dehumidifier?
Factory-trained means our technicians have completed manufacturer-led courses on design, sizing, wiring, controls, and refrigerant handling for the specific dehumidifier brands we carry. They know the latest installation standards, can integrate the unit with any HVAC configuration, and can register the product for full factory warranty coverage—something untrained installers often cannot provide.
How do you determine the correct dehumidifier size for my home?
During a free in-home assessment we measure square footage, ceiling height, current RH levels, infiltration rates, and existing HVAC capacity. Using AHRI and manufacturer sizing charts, we match these factors to a unit’s pints-per-day removal rating. Proper sizing ensures the dehumidifier cycles long enough to wring out moisture without wasting energy or short-cycling.
Will installing a dehumidifier affect my current heating and air conditioning system?
No adverse effects—when installed by our trained team the dehumidifier is ducted to the supply or return plenum so it works in harmony with your HVAC system. It actually lowers latent load, allowing your air conditioner to focus on temperature control, which can reduce run-times and energy consumption.
How long does installation take and what will it cost?
Most whole-home dehumidifier installations in Maynardville are completed in 4–6 hours. Pricing depends on capacity (70–130 pints), ductwork complexity, and optional controls, but typical turnkey costs range from $2,100 to $3,500. We provide up-front, written estimates and offer financing options with approved credit.
What kind of maintenance and warranty should I expect?
Units include a 5-year parts warranty when registered by our factory-trained staff. We recommend annual maintenance: cleaning the condensate tray, flushing the drain line, replacing or washing the air filter, and checking refrigerant pressures.
