FAQs

How can a whole-home dehumidifier lower my energy bills in Morristown’s climate?

Morristown summers are warm and humid, which makes your air conditioner work harder to remove moisture as well as heat. A dedicated dehumidifier pulls excess water vapor out of the air before it reaches your HVAC coil. Drier air feels cooler, so you can raise the thermostat 2–4 °F without sacrificing comfort and cut cooling energy use by 10–15 %. Because lower indoor humidity also reduces mold growth and dust mites, you’ll see additional savings on cleaning and potential health-care costs.

What size dehumidifier does my home need?

Sizing is based on square footage, typical moisture load, basement or crawl-space conditions, and the home’s airtightness. Most Morristown single-family homes fall between 70-120 pints-per-day capacity. During our free in-home assessment we measure relative humidity, inspect ductwork, and use Manual J load calculations to recommend the right model so you avoid the high energy use and premature wear that come from over- or undersized equipment.

Will installing a dehumidifier affect my existing HVAC system?

No negative impact—properly integrated dehumidifiers actually extend HVAC life. We tie the unit into your return duct so it treats the air before it passes through the air handler. This keeps coils cleaner, reduces short-cycling, and allows the A/C to run fewer hours. The dehumidifier has its own humidistat, drain line, and low-draw fan, so it runs only when needed and never interferes with heating or cooling airflow.

How much does professional dehumidifier installation cost in Morristown?

Total investment ranges from $1,800 to $3,500, depending on capacity, duct modifications, and whether a dedicated condensate pump is required. The price includes the dehumidifier, digital controls, labor, electrical hookup, and a one-year labor warranty. Many local utilities offer rebates of $200–$400 for ENERGY STAR® units, and financing plans spread the remaining cost over 12–60 months, often offset by the monthly energy savings.

What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?

Minimal upkeep: replace or clean the air filter every 3–6 months, keep the condensate drain clear, and have the refrigerant coil and blower inspected annually during your regular HVAC tune-up. Our Comfort Club plan bundles this service, so one visit covers furnace, A/C, and dehumidifier checks, ensuring optimal humidity control and validating the manufacturer’s warranty.

How long does installation take, and do I need to be home?

Most installations are completed in 3–5 hours. We schedule a two-hour arrival window, protect floors with drop cloths, and test the system before we leave. An adult needs to be home only for the initial walk-through and final demonstration—about 30 minutes total. If we need attic or crawl-space access, we’ll let you know in advance so you can clear the area.
