FAQs
Why do homes in Niota need a whole-house dehumidifier?
Niotaâs warm summers and mild, rainy shoulder seasons mean indoor relative humidity often hovers well above the recommended 50 %. Excess moisture encourages mold, dust mites, musty odors, and wood warping. A whole-house dehumidifier works with your HVAC system to pull moisture from every room, creating a healthier environment, protecting furnishings, and making the air feel cooler so you can raise the thermostat a few degrees and still be comfortable.
How does Relentless Humidity Heating & Air Conditioning size the right dehumidifier for my home?
During a free in-home assessment, our technicians measure square footage, ceiling height, infiltration points, and existing HVAC airflow. We also use hygrometers to record current humidity levels in different rooms. From these readings we calculate the required pints-per-day capacity and choose a model that integrates with your ductwork without restricting airflow. Proper sizing prevents short-cycling, maximizes energy efficiency, and ensures balanced moisture removal throughout the house.
Will a whole-house dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
In many cases, homeowners see little to no net increaseâand sometimes a decreaseâin energy costs. Dehumidified air feels cooler, allowing you to set your thermostat 2-3 °F higher in summer and reduce AC run time. Modern units draw about the same wattage as a small window AC and run intermittently rather than continuously. Our team selects ENERGY STARÂŽ-rated models and optimizes duct placement to keep operating costs low.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
Most installations are completed in a single day. We start by isolating power to the HVAC system, then mount the dehumidifier in the mechanical room, basement, or atticâwherever access and drainage are best. Supply and return ducts are tied into the main trunk, a dedicated condensate line is routed to a floor drain or condensate pump, and a new or existing smart thermostat/hygrostat is wired for automatic humidity control. After a safety inspection and performance test, we review the user settings with you and leave the area clean.
How should I maintain my new dehumidifier and how often should it be serviced?
Basic upkeep is simple: replace or rinse the air filter every 3-6 months (more often if you have pets or allergies) and ensure the condensate line stays clear. Once a year, schedule a professional tune-up with Relentless Humidity Heating & Air Conditioning. Weâll clean the evaporator coil, check refrigerant pressures, test electrical components, and verify the humidistat calibration. Regular maintenance keeps efficiency high and preserves your manufacturer âs warranty.
Is a stand-alone dehumidifier different from one integrated with my HVAC system?
Portable stand-alone units treat a single room and require you to empty a water bucket regularly. An integrated whole-house system connects to your ductwork, removing moisture from the entire home automatically and draining condensate via plumbing. Whole-house units are quieter, more energy-efficient per pint of water removed, and better at maintaining consistent humidity levels. They also free up floor space and eliminate the safety hazards of extension cords and stagnant water buckets.
