FAQs
Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier to my heating and air-conditioning system in Reliance?
Excess humidity makes your home feel hotter, encourages mold growth, and can damage wood, drywall, and electronics. A whole-home dehumidifier ties directly into your HVAC ductwork, pulling moisture out of every room instead of treating just one space like a portable unit. By maintaining indoor relative humidity between 40â50 %, you improve comfort, reduce cooling costs, and protect your familyâs health and belongings.
How do your background-checked technicians install a dehumidifier, and how long does it take?
After confirming the correct capacity for your square footage and existing HVAC equipment, our technician mounts the dehumidifier near your air handler or furnace, connects it to the supply/return ductwork, installs a dedicated drain line, wires the control board or wall-mounted humidistat, and tests the refrigerant and airflow settings. A standard retrofit in Reliance typically takes 4â6 hours and is completed in a single visit, including a full post-installation inspection and clean-up.
Are your technicians licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every installer holds a Tennessee (or local Reliance area) mechanical/HVAC license, carries full liability and workersâ compensation insurance, and must pass a comprehensive criminal background check and drug screening before entering your home. We also require ongoing factory training so our team remains current with code changes and dehumidifier technology.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
A properly sized whole-home dehumidifier uses electricity, but it can lower overall energy costs by allowing you to set the thermostat a few degrees higher without sacrificing comfort. Removing moisture means your air-conditioner runs less often and more efficiently. Many Reliance homeowners see net savings of 5â15 % on summer utility bills.
What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require after installation?
Routine care is simple. Replace or clean the dehumidifierâs air filter every 3â6 months, ensure the condensate drain remains clear, and schedule an annual HVAC inspection where our technicians check refrigerant pressures, blower speed, and electrical components. With proper maintenance, units typically last 10â15 years.
How much does professional dehumidifier installation cost in Reliance, and do you offer financing?
Prices vary by capacity (70â130 pints per day) and ductwork complexity, but most installations range from $1,800 to $3,200, including equipment, labor, and permits. We provide upfront, written quotes with no hidden fees and offer several financing optionsâ0 % interest for 12 months or low fixed payments spread over 5â10 yearsâto fit your budget.
