FAQs
Why is a whole-home dehumidifier important for houses in New Tazewell?
East Tennesseeâs humid summers and damp shoulder seasons can push indoor relative humidity well above the 50 % comfort threshold. Excess moisture encourages mold, mildew, dust mites and musty odors, and it makes your air conditioner work harder. A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier keeps humidity in the ideal 40â50 % range, improving air quality, protecting furnishings and reducing cooling costs.
How do your certified HVAC technicians install a dehumidifier?
After a free in-home evaluation, our NATE-certified technicians select a dehumidifier that matches your homeâs square footage and HVAC capacity. On installation day we: 1) isolate power to the air handler, 2) integrate the dehumidifier into the return-air plenum or a dedicated bypass, 3) run a condensate drain line with an anti-siphon trap, 4) tie the unit into the existing thermostat or install a separate digital humidistat, 5) test airflow and set the target RH level. The job is fully code-compliant and usually completed in one visit.
Will a dehumidifier raise my utility bills?
Standalone dehumidifiers draw some electricity, but a properly installed whole-home unit often lowers total energy use. By wringing moisture out of the air before it reaches the evaporator coil, your AC can cycle off sooner, reducing compressor runtime by 10â15 %. Most homeowners see a net savings of $20â$40 per month during peak cooling season.
How long does installation take, and will my heating or cooling be disrupted?
Most projects take 3â5 hours. We schedule installations at your convenience and keep downtime to a minimumâtypically less than 30 minutes without airflow while we tie in the ductwork. Your heating and cooling system will be fully operational the same day.
What maintenance does my new dehumidifier require?
Maintenance is simple: replace or rinse the unitâs air filter every 3â6 months, check the drain line for clogs, and have our technicians perform an annual inspection during your spring AC tune-up. With routine care, a quality dehumidifier will last 10â15 years.
Do you offer warranties, financing or rebates for dehumidifier installations in New Tazewell?
Yes. We provide a 5-year parts and 1-year labor warranty on all Aprilaire and Honeywell models we install, with optional 10-year extended coverage. Financing is available through TVA EnergyRight starting at 0 % for 12 months, and many customers qualify for a $150 utility rebate when pairing a dehumidifier with a high-efficiency heat pump.
