FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-home dehumidifier for my Vonore residence?
Vonoreâs proximity to the Little Tennessee and Tellico Lakes means we experience long, humid summers and shoulder seasons. Excess indoor moisture encourages mold, mildew, dust mites, and that clammy feeling even when the A/C is running. A professionally installed dehumidifier keeps relative humidity in the ideal 45-55 % range, protecting your familyâs health, preserving wood furnishings, and helping your air conditioner run more efficiently.
How do your certified technicians determine the right dehumidifier size for my home?
Capacity is measured in pints of moisture removed per day. During a free in-home assessment, we calculate square footage, ceiling height, typical infiltration points, existing HVAC load, and basement or crawl-space conditions. We then match you with a unit that can handle peak summer humidity without short-cycling, ensuring consistent performance and energy savings.
What does the installation process involve and how long will it take?
Most whole-home dehumidifiers are installed in line with your existing return-air ductwork or dedicated to a basement/crawl space. Our certified technicians arrive with all components, set protective floor coverings, and complete duct, drain, and electrical connectionsâusually in 4â6 hours. Before leaving, we calibrate the humidistat, test condensate drainage, and show you how to adjust settings.
Will adding a dehumidifier raise my energy bill?
A dehumidifier uses electricity, but it often lowers overall energy costs. Removing moisture lets you raise the thermostat 2â3 °F while feeling just as comfortable, reducing A/C run time. It also eases the cooling load, so your system cycles less and lasts longer. Most homeowners in Vonore see little to no net increase, and some see a modest decrease in summer utility bills.
How much maintenance does a whole-home dehumidifier need, and do you service it?
Maintenance is minimal: replace or clean the internal air filter every 3â6 months and ensure the drain line stays clear. During your annual HVAC tune-up, our NATE-certified technicians inspect coils, blowers, and humidity controls, clean the condensate pan, and verify performance. Enrolling in our Comfort Club covers these checks and extends the manufacturerâs warranty.
Can a dehumidifier be added to my existing HVAC system without major modifications?
Yes. Most modern whole-home dehumidifiers are designed to integrate with standard forced-air systems. We tap into the return plenum, provide a dedicated drain, and wire the unit to a stand-alone or combined thermostat/humidistat. If your system is older, we can still install a bypass or duct-independent configuration. Our technicians will review all options and give you a clear, upfront quote before any work begins.
