FAQs
Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier to my heating and air-conditioning system in Rogersville?
Rogersvilleâs warm summers often push indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 45â55 %. Excess moisture makes rooms feel hotter, encourages mold growth, dust mites, and wood warping, and forces your air conditioner to run longer. A dedicated whole-home dehumidifier removes pints of moisture per day through your ductwork, creating a healthier environment, lowering the perceived temperature, and reducing the cooling load on your HVAC equipment.
How is a whole-home dehumidifier installed and integrated with my existing HVAC equipment?
Our technicians mount the dehumidifier parallel to your HVAC air handler and tie it into the return-air duct so all circulating air passes through the unit. A condensate drain line is piped to a nearby floor drain or condensate pump, and a low-voltage control wire connects the dehumidifier to a wall-mounted digital humidistat or to your smart thermostat. Because the unit uses its own fan, it can operate with or without the air conditioner running, maintaining ideal humidity year-round.
What size dehumidifier do I need for my home?
Sizing depends on square footage, ceiling height, typical indoor moisture levels, and your familyâs lifestyle (showers, cooking, number of occupants). During our free in-home assessment we perform a Manual J moisture load calculation and recommend a model rated from 70 to 130 pints per day. Choosing the correct capacity prevents short-cycling, maximizes energy efficiency, and ensures uniform humidity control in every room.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard retrofit in Rogersville usually takes 4â6 hours. We start by protecting floors and furniture, then install the cabinet, duct connections, drain line, and control wiring. Power is shut off only at the air handler, so your household electricity and water stay on. By the end of the day youâll have a fully commissioned system with minimal downtime and no major construction mess.
What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?
Maintenance is simple: clean or replace the air filter every 6â12 months, flush the condensate drain annually, and have the coil and blower inspected during your spring or fall HVAC tune-up. Most Rogersville homeowners perform the filter change themselves and rely on our Comfort Club plan for the yearly inspection, which keeps the factory warranty valid and preserves peak efficiency.
How much does a whole-home dehumidifier cost and what energy savings can I expect?
Installed prices in the Rogersville area range from $2,200 to $3,500 depending on capacity and ducting complexity. While the unit does use electricity, homeowners typically see a 10â15 % reduction in summer cooling costs because the air conditioner cycles less often and can be set 2â3 °F higher without sacrificing comfort. Many customers recoup the upfront investment within 3â5 years through lower utility bills, reduced HVAC wear, and improved indoor-air quality that protects furnishings and finishes.
