In short, yes. A first step is conducting an energy audit to determine the energy load for your home. Calculating the load tells the experts at Essig how much humidity your house gains through the day & what size home dehumidifier will work best to keep moisture levels under control. This is critical, as most home dehumidifier installation issues stem from an improperly-sized dehumidifier.
Often your old existing ducts can’t handle the airflow cost of a newly installed dehumidifier. Any upgrades to accommodate a new system will likely increase the cost to install a dehumidifier unit, but will ultimately help you avoid costly, high-energy bills & overheated rooms in the future.
Here’s where the load calculation comes into play, as you want to pick the correctly-sized home dehumidifier to install – either too big or too small of a dehumidifier can lead to costly repair or replacement down the road. Call the HVAC professionals at Essig, they’ll know the perfect home dehumidifier to install for your home at the lowest cost.
If your dehumidifier is no longer maintaining the desired humidity level, is making unusual noises, or has stopped working entirely, it likely needs repair. Other signs include excessive moisture buildup, musty odors, or warning lights on your unit. Call (610) 215-9512 as soon as possible for prompt diagnostic help.
Regular maintenance is key to preventing issues. Make sure to clean or replace filters monthly, inspect your unit for signs of wear or damage, ensure proper drainage, and schedule regular professional maintenance with Essig to keep your system running efficiently all summer long!
While some noise is normal, loud clunking, rattling, or grinding sounds could indicate a mechanical problem, such as a loose part, motor issue, or worn-out components. These symptoms should be inspected and repaired by an Essig professional right away.
First, check the drain line for clogs or disconnections, and ensure the water collection tank is attached properly. Next, inspect the seals and connections for cracks or damage. If the problem still persists, lean on our heating and cooling experts for prompt professional help.
While your whole-home dehumidifier is designed to handle summer moisture, excessive humidity can overwork the unit. Our expert technicians will make certain your dehumidifier system is appropriately sized for your home and provide the necessary maintenance and repairs to return it to efficient operation!
