FAQs

Why should I consider a whole-home dehumidifier in Sunbright’s climate?

Sunbright experiences long stretches of humid weather that can leave indoor air feeling sticky, encourage mold growth, and make your air conditioner work harder. A whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture from every room through your existing ductwork, keeping relative humidity in the ideal 45–55 % range. This helps prevent mildew odors, protects wood flooring and furniture, improves indoor air quality for allergy sufferers, and lets you feel comfortable at a higher thermostat setting—often saving energy.

How does your upfront pricing work for dehumidifier installation?

Before any work begins, we perform a free in-home evaluation, measure your home’s square footage, review existing HVAC equipment, and check electrical requirements. Based on these findings we give you a single, all-inclusive price in writing that covers the dehumidifier unit, any needed duct or electrical modifications, labor, disposal of debris, sales tax, and a 1-year labor warranty. That figure will not change unless you ask for additional work; there are no hidden trip, overtime, or ‘parts run’ fees—guaranteed.

What size or capacity dehumidifier will my home need?

Capacity is determined by square footage, average moisture load, and how tightly the home is sealed. During our visit we use an industry-standard load calculation (ASHRAE/ACCA guidelines) to determine pints-per-day removal. Most Sunbright homes require units in the 70–120 pint range, but basements or crawl spaces with high moisture may need up to 155 pints. Sizing correctly prevents short-cycling, maximizes energy efficiency, and extends equipment life. We will present at least two model options that meet your exact capacity needs and budget.

Will adding a dehumidifier lower my heating and cooling bills?

Yes—by reducing humidity, you feel cooler at a higher thermostat setting in summer, which often allows a 2–3 °F increase without sacrificing comfort. Lower moisture also eases the load on your air conditioner’s evaporator coil, improving system efficiency. Many homeowners report 5–15 % reductions in summer electric bills. In winter, balanced humidity lets you set the heat a degree or two lower yet feel just as warm, offering additional savings.

How long does installation take and what should I expect on the day of service?

A typical whole-home dehumidifier installation in Sunbright takes 4–6 hours. Our two-person crew will: (1) protect floors with drop cloths, (2) shut off power to the HVAC system, (3) install the dehumidifier in the mechanical room, attic, or crawl space, (4) connect dedicated ductwork or tie-in to the return plenum, (5) run a condensate drain to an existing line or condensate pump, (6) wire a humidistat and integrate controls with your furnace or air handler, and (7) test operation. We perform a full clean-up and haul away any packing materials before leaving.

What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require, and do you offer service plans?

Routine care is simple: rinse or replace the air filter every 3–6 months, check the drain line for clogs, and vacuum exterior grills. We recommend a professional tune-up each spring to verify refrigerant charge, clean the evaporator coil, and calibrate the humidistat. We offer an optional ComfortCare Plan that includes the annual tune-up, filter replacements, priority scheduling, and a 15 % discount on any repairs for one low yearly fee.
