DEHUMDIFIERS IN ROCKWALL, TX
HVAC SERVICES
Here in North Texas, our summers can be sticky and uncomfortable, especially if your HVAC isn’t up to the task of dehumidifying. If you’re experiencing a high amount of humid indoor air in the summer, a whole-house dehumidifier might be the solution for you.
Below, our Rockwall HVAC experts at Lyons Air & Heat will explain how whole-house dehumidifiers can enhance and refine the comfort of your home. We’ll explain the function and benefits of whole-house dehumidifiers, as well as how they benefit the health of your home and your AC system in the long run.
Whole-House Dehumidifier Installation and Repair in North Texas
Having any work at all done to your HVAC system can be daunting, and having an addition like a whole-house dehumidifier put in might even seem intimidating.
But the process is actually very simple and can be made simpler by local HVAC service technicians skilled in humidity control services. Our technicians at Lyons Air and Heat can provide experienced installation and repair services for your dehumidifier as well as your whole HVAC unit. Regular maintenance and care will keep your Rockwall air conditioning system in tip-top shape for years to come.
When our technicians install your dehumidifier, they will create a return duct to direct humid air to the dehumidifier, and install the dehumidifier with a filter or a drain pan in your attic, basement, or garage–wherever your air handler is located. From that point out, we can check out your dehumidifier during your system’s annual HVAC tune-ups.
If you’re in the Dallas or Rockwall area and want a dehumidifier, or simply want your AC to last as long as possible, you may also consider signing up for our convenient HVAC maintenance plan. When you join the Cool Club, we can provide you with priority service, bi-annual tune-ups, free filter replacements, and more!
What is a Whole-House Dehumidifier?
Whole-house dehumidifiers are small appliances that function as add-ons to your cooling system. They are about the size of a toaster and use your ductwork to function.
When the air in your home reaches a humidity level over a certain limit – usually about 50% – the dehumidifier will begin extracting moisture from the air. It works similarly to your AC system in that it pulls humid air inside the return duct. Within the dehumidifier, there is a coil that carries refrigerant. Humidity from inside your home will condense on this coil, and drain either into a drain pan or directly into a floor drain.
Why Might You Need a Dehumidifier?
If you live in a humid environment and have ever used a dehumidifier, you know exactly how much it can contribute to your comfort–but using a whole-house dehumidifier doesn’t just increase the comfort of your home. It can also positively affect your health and the health of your family, as well as your home’s safety.
Here are some other reasons you might need a dehumidifier:
Protect Your Home
An excess of humidity can make your home a breeding ground for things like rot, mold, and mildew. Additionally, a high rate of indoor humidity can cause floors and furniture to warp and attract dangerous pests.
Protect Your Health
Breathing humid indoor air can agitate things like allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Whole-house dehumidifiers will let you breathe easier, and feel considerably less sweaty and sticky while you do it.
Reduce Strain On Your AC
In our humid North Texas environment, if you’re seeing your energy bills skyrocket and your home is feeling uncomfortably hot and humid, dehumidifiers could be an option. Most air conditioning units contain a dehumidifying function–however, a whole-house dehumidifier can dehumidify your home far more efficiently while using a fraction of the energy.
If Your AC is Incorrectly Sized
If, for instance, you buy a new home and discover your AC unit is oversized, you might notice your home gets plenty cool, but remains rather humid.
This is because an oversized AC unit will get your house down to the thermostat temperature very quickly but then cycle off before the unit has dehumidified the home properly. This will leave you feeling clammy and uncomfortable. A whole-house dehumidifier will help compensate for this issue.
If your unit is incorrectly sized or it is simply time to replace your AC unit, our technicians at Lyons Air & Heat can provide top Rockwall HVAC installation services as well as recommendations for new units!
Benefits of a Whole-House Dehumidifier
Just like there are a variety of reasons you might want to try whole-house dehumidifiers in your home, there are also a variety of benefits to whole-house dehumidification service. Here are just a few:
Increased Comfort
This is, of course, one of the more obvious benefits of dehumidifying your home. Humid air inside can leave you feeling sticky, clammy, and uncomfortable. A dehumidifier will keep your indoor air at a very comfortable level for you and your family.
Reduced Utility Bills
We already mentioned how a dehumidifier can help you dehumidify your home more efficiently. Not only will this reduce the strain on your AC and help it to last longer, but it will also reduce your utility bills.
When your AC system is straining to keep your home cool and dehumidified during a hot Dallas summer, it uses twice the amount of energy it might have used otherwise. An additional separate dehumidifier will do a much better job of removing damp air and will do it using significantly less energy.
Deodorizing
Again, too much dampness in the air can make your home a breeding ground for mold and rot. Not only is that not healthy for you or your home, it also leaves an unpleasant smell. Reducing it will also reduce the amount of odor.
