FAQs
Why should I install a whole-home dehumidifier in Sparta’s climate?
Although Sparta enjoys four distinct seasons, our warm, wet summers can leave indoor air feeling sticky and promote mold growth, dust mites, and musty odors. A whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture throughout the entire house, helping you feel cooler at higher thermostat settings, protecting wood floors and furnishings, and improving overall indoor air quality.
How does a whole-home dehumidifier integrate with my existing heating and air conditioning system?
We install the dehumidifier directly into your supply or return ductwork, so it treats all the air that your HVAC system circulates. The unit runs independently of your air conditioner and uses its own humidistat, but it can be wired to your thermostat for fully automated control. Because it shares the same duct network, there’s no need for multiple portable units in different rooms.
What size dehumidifier do I need for my home?
Sizing is based on the square footage of conditioned space, average moisture load, ceiling height, and specific issues such as basement dampness or crawl-space humidity. During our free in-home assessment, our technicians measure your home and recommend a dehumidifier, typically ranging from 70 to 135 pints per day, that can maintain relative humidity around 45–50% without short-cycling or wasting energy.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my home?
Most whole-home dehumidifier installations in Sparta are completed in half a day. We mount the unit near your air handler or furnace, connect it to existing ductwork, run a dedicated condensate drain line, and wire the control circuit. Our team uses drop cloths and shoe covers, so aside from brief access to your mechanical room, you’ll notice very little disruption.
Will a whole-home dehumidifier increase my utility bills?
The typical unit draws 5–8 amps, comparable to a few light bulbs. Because lower indoor humidity allows you to set the thermostat 2–3°F higher without sacrificing comfort, many homeowners see little to no net increase—and some report a slight reduction—in electricity costs. ENERGY STAR®-rated models provide additional savings.
What maintenance is required, and do you offer service plans?
Maintenance is straightforward: replace or clean the air filter every 6–12 months, clear the condensate drain, and have the coil and blower inspected yearly. Our Sparta Comfort Club includes an annual dehumidifier tune-up, priority scheduling, and parts discounts, ensuring your system runs efficiently and remains under warranty.
