FAQs
Why should I add a high-efficiency dehumidifier to my heating and air-conditioning system in Speedwell?
A whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture that your air conditioner alone canât eliminate. Lower humidity lets you set the thermostat a few degrees higher while feeling just as cool, cutting energy use by up to 15 %. It also prevents mold, musty odors, wood warping, and dust-mite growthâcommon issues in Speedwellâs humid climate.
How is a dehumidifier integrated with an existing HVAC system?
Our technicians tap the dehumidifier into the return-air plenum and run a dedicated supply duct to deliver dry air throughout the home. The unit is wired to your HVAC controls or its own humidistat, so it turns on only when needed. A condensate line is installed to a floor drain or condensate pump for worry-free water removal.
Will a high-efficiency dehumidifier increase my utility bills?
The dehumidifier draws very little powerâusually 3â8 amps. Because drier air feels cooler, most homeowners raise their AC setpoint 2â4 °F, which offsets and often exceeds the electricity used by the dehumidifier. Net annual savings of 5â10 % on cooling costs are typical in Speedwell.
How long does a professional dehumidifier installation take?
A standard retrofit in a Speedwell home takes one day. We begin with a humidity assessment, place the unit in the mechanical room or crawl space, add duct connections, wire the controls, and test all safety features. Larger homes or tight crawl spaces may require an additional half-day.
What maintenance does the dehumidifier require?
Every 6â12 months, clean or replace the air filter, inspect and flush the condensate line, and vacuum the coil fins. During your annual HVAC tune-up, our technician also checks refrigerant pressure, blower speed, and humidistat calibration to ensure peak efficiency.
What is the typical cost and warranty for a maximum-efficiency dehumidifier in Speedwell?
Installed prices range from $2,200 to $3,600 depending on capacity (70â120 pints/day) and ductwork complexity. Most models carry a 5-year sealed-system warranty and 2â3 years on parts. We register your unit with the manufacturer and offer optional 10-year labor protection for added peace of mind.
