FAQs
Why should I add a whole-home dehumidifier to my HVAC system in Tazewell?
Tazewellâs humid Appalachian summers can drive indoor relative humidity well above the recommended 30-50 % range. Excess moisture encourages mold growth, wood warping, musty odors, and higher cooling costs because damp air feels warmer. A whole-home dehumidifier tied directly into your ductwork removes this excess moisture automatically, delivering healthier air, protecting your home, and letting your air conditioner run shorter cycles.
How does a certified Comfort Specialist install a dehumidifier with my existing heating and cooling equipment?
Our NATE- and EPA-certified technicians evaluate your current HVAC layout, calculate airflow needs, and select a dehumidifier sized for your square footage and latent load. The unit is mounted in the return- or supply-air plenum, connected to the duct system with sealed fittings, and wired to an independent humidistat or integrated smart thermostat. We add a dedicated condensate drain line and test the system to verify proper static pressure, CFM, and humidity control before we leave.
Will a dehumidifier increase my energy bills?
Surprisingly, it often lowers total energy use. By wringing moisture out of the air, the dehumidifier allows you to raise the thermostat 2â3 °F while feeling just as cool, reducing AC runtime. Modern whole-home units use efficient variable-speed compressors and draw far less power than running an oversized air conditioner to achieve the same comfort level.
What maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier require?
Maintenance is minimal: replace or clean the air filter every 3â6 months, ensure the condensate line is clear, and have our Comfort Specialists perform an annual tune-up. During this visit we clean the coil, check refrigerant charge, calibrate the humidistat, verify amperage draw, and inspect drain safety switches.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my home?
Most retrofits in Tazewell homes are completed in 4â6 hours. Because the dehumidifier ties into existing ductwork, we only need attic, crawlspace, or mechanical-room access. Thereâs no drywall removal, and we protect flooring with drop cloths. You can expect brief system downtime while we shut off power, but full comfort is restored the same day.
What warranties and financing options are available through your Tazewell Comfort Specialists?
We offer industry-leading 5-year parts and 1-year labor warranties on all dehumidifier installations, with optional 10-year extended coverage. Qualifying homeowners can take advantage of 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months, subject to credit approval. In addition, certain Energy Star-rated models may qualify for local utility rebates.
