Question 1

How do I know if I need a dehumidifier?

Accepted Answer

Signs include condensation on windows, musty smells, visible mold, damp-feeling air, or a humidity reading above 55%. Basements and crawl spaces are the most common problem areas. A whole-home dehumidifier addresses moisture at the source.

Question 2

Is a whole-home dehumidifier better than a portable one?

Accepted Answer

Significantly. Portable units handle one small area and need constant emptying. A whole-home dehumidifier ties into your HVAC system, drains automatically, covers your entire home, and is much quieter. It's a permanent solution.

Question 3

Will a dehumidifier reduce my AC costs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Humid air feels warmer, so you crank the AC harder. When humidity is controlled, you feel comfortable at a higher thermostat setting. Many homeowners see noticeable energy savings after installing a whole-home dehumidifier.

Question 4

Can you install a dehumidifier for just my basement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install both whole-home units that tie into your ductwork and dedicated basement/crawl space dehumidifiers with their own drainage. We'll recommend the right approach based on where your moisture problems are.
