FAQs
How does installing a whole-home dehumidifier impact my heating and air-conditioning utility bills in Pikeville?
A whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air, allowing you to feel comfortable at higher thermostat settings in summer and lower settings in winter. Because properly balanced humidity helps your HVAC system run more efficiently, most Pikeville homeowners see utility bill savings of 10 – 25 % after installation, especially during our muggy Appalachian summers.
Will a dehumidifier installation work with my existing HVAC equipment or will I need to upgrade?
In most cases, a professionally installed dehumidifier integrates directly with your current forced-air heating and cooling system. Our technicians tie the unit into the return-air plenum so it treats the entire home. Unless your furnace, heat pump, or ductwork is already undersized or in poor condition, no additional upgrades are necessary.
What size dehumidifier do I need for my Pikeville home?
Sizing is based on square footage, the number of occupants, and the typical indoor relative humidity in the Pikeville area. During your free in-home assessment, we use hygrometers and Manual J load calculations to recommend the correct pint-per-day capacity so the unit operates efficiently without short-cycling.
How long does the installation take and is there any disruption to my home?
Most whole-home dehumidifiers can be installed in 4–6 hours. We locate the unit in an accessible area such as a basement, crawl space, or mechanical closet, connect it to existing ductwork, and install a dedicated condensate drain line. The process is minimally invasive, and your HVAC system is usually back online the same day.
What kind of maintenance will my new dehumidifier require?
Maintenance is simple: replace or clean the dehumidifier’s air filter every 3–6 months, clear the condensate line annually, and schedule an annual tune-up where we check refrigerant pressures, fan motors, and humidity controls. These steps take less than 30 minutes and help maintain energy savings and manufacturer warranty coverage.
Do you offer warranties or service plans for dehumidifier installations in Pikeville?
Yes. We provide a 5-year parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty on all dehumidifier installations. Extended service plans are available that bundle annual maintenance visits, priority scheduling, and discounted repairs, ensuring your system continues to lower humidity and utility bills for years to come.
