Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take a whole-house dehumidifier to work?developer2021-01-08T21:51:59+00:00

How long will it take a whole-house dehumidifier to work?

As long as the unit is large enough to handle the full area of the home, and there are no specific damp problems such as drafts which let humid air into the home, it will normally take a dehumidifier a few days to a week to reduce the humidity in the home.

Do I need to clean my dehumidifier?developer2021-01-08T21:49:01+00:00

Do I need to clean my dehumidifier?

A dehumidifier needs to have its filter cleaned periodically. The water reservoir needs to be cleaned as well to prevent mold and mildew growth in the unit. You can find information about how often the filter needs to be cleaned and the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning methods in the owner’s manual of the unit.

What types of whole-house humidifiers are there?developer2021-01-08T21:46:53+00:00

What types of whole-house humidifiers are there?

There are three types of whole-house humidifiers that are commonly found in home HVAC systems.

Bypass Humidifiers
- They draw warm air from heat ducts and pass it through a water panel so the air can absorb moisture. The air is sent back into the airstream, then through the home.
Fan-Powered Humidifiers
- They work the same way as a bypass humidifier, but use a fan to blow warm air across the water panel for increased water evaporation.
Steam Humidifiers
- Adds humidity to water by boiling water to form steam even if the furnace is off. The system blower circulates the stream through the ductwork of the home.
