FAQs

Why should I consider a whole-home dehumidifier for my Ocoee residence?

Central Florida’s subtropical climate means high humidity almost year-round. Excess indoor moisture can lead to musty odors, mold growth, aggravated allergies, and even premature wear on furniture, flooring, and your HVAC equipment. A whole-home dehumidifier tied into your ductwork removes this excess moisture automatically, keeping relative humidity in the ideal 45–55 % range, improving comfort, indoor air quality, and the efficiency of your air-conditioning system.

How is a professionally installed dehumidifier different from a plug-in portable unit?

Portable units treat only the single room they sit in, require manual emptying or a condensate pump, and cycle on and off based on the conditions of that immediate space. A professionally installed system is integrated with your existing HVAC ductwork, drains automatically into your home’s condensate line, uses a dedicated humidistat for whole-house control, and is sized by a certified technician to match the square footage and moisture load of your entire home. The result is balanced humidity in every conditioned room with less noise, hassle, and energy waste.

How do Certified HVAC Pros determine the right dehumidifier size and model?

During our free in-home assessment, we measure square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, typical occupancy, and moisture sources (showers, cooking, indoor plants, etc.). We also review recent utility bills and perform a blower-door test if needed to gauge air infiltration. Using ACCA Manual J guidelines, we calculate your home’s latent (moisture) load and recommend a dehumidifier with the proper pint-per-day capacity, airflow (CFM), and integration kit for your existing air handler or furnace.

Will adding a dehumidifier raise my energy bills?

Most customers see little to no net increase—and many experience lower cooling costs. Because dry air feels cooler, you can raise your thermostat 2–3 °F without sacrificing comfort. Your air conditioner also runs more efficiently when it isn’t shouldering the full moisture-removal load. The dehumidifier itself uses about the same electricity as a small window A/C, but those savings from shorter A/C run times usually offset the added consumption.

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

A typical whole-home dehumidifier installation in Ocoee takes 3–5 hours. Our certified team mounts the unit in the attic, crawl space, or mechanical closet, ties it into the supply or return plenum (depending on design), installs a dedicated return air grille if required, hard-pipes the condensate drain with a proper P-trap and shut-off float switch, wires the control to your thermostat or a stand-alone humidistat, and tests airflow and drainage. Your HVAC system remains operational for most of the visit, and we leave the workspace clean and debris-free.

What maintenance does the system need after installation, and do you offer service plans?

Whole-home dehumidifiers are low maintenance: replace or clean the internal air filter every 6–12 months, verify the condensate line is clear, and schedule an annual performance check to ensure proper humidity set points and refrigerant pressures. Certified HVAC Pros offers affordable Gold and Platinum Maintenance Plans that include these tasks plus biannual HVAC tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on any repairs. Enrolling protects your investment, maintains manufacturer warranty requirements, and keeps your home comfortable all year in Ocoee’s humid climate.
