Dehumidifier Installation & Repair Services in Bentonville, AR

A dehumidifier system is one of the best ways to enhance your home’s air quality. Some of the many benefits of a dehumidifier system include:

Makes Air Cleaner and Safer

Clean, allergen-free air is easier on your lungs. Heightened humidity nurtures mold spores and encourages the development of stale, musty smells. Inhaling mold spores can harm your health, so a dehumidifier dries out excess moisture in the air to help make it safer and cleaner.

Helps Safeguards Home Interiors

Dehumidifiers can safeguard the interiors of your home, electronics, furniture, and fabrics. Steady humidity can cause rot damage to wooden structures, endangering the integrity of your home. Humidity and wet conditions can distort or slump floors.

Saves Money

Using a dehumidifier to remove additional moisture from the air can make your living space feel cooler during the summer, enabling you to raise the thermostat and potentially save on energy bills. Drier air is also less laborious for HVAC units to process, implying fewer operational periods.

Best Times to Use a Dehumidifier

Most homes don’t require year-round dehumidifier operation. The use of dehumidifiers is mostly during the warm, wet weather and the humid summer months. It’s essential to use a dehumidifier if you notice any of the following:

• Pest infestation inside your home.
• Mold and mildew growth.
• Warping wood floors or furniture.
• Water stains on ceilings and walls.
• Musty smells in the home.
• Rotting baseboards or window sills.
• Condensation on the interior side of windows.
• Increase of allergy symptoms and colds.

Trouble Areas in Your Home

There are some areas in homes that are more prone to high humidity levels. The basement area is the most notorious area for dampness and high humidity levels. A dehumidifier helps protect your basement from mildew, mold, and pest infestations. Bathrooms are humid due to hot baths and steamy showers. While we recommend dehumidifiers in bathrooms, we also advise proper bathroom ventilation with a fan extracting moist air outside to prevent mold and mildew.

Whole Home Dehumidifier vs. Portable Dehumidifier

Our experienced service professionals will help you choose the best type of dehumidifier to boost your home’s air quality. A portable dehumidifier that is too small for your space will cause the basin to fill too quickly, making it more work for you. A portable dehumidifier that is too large for your space will waste energy. We can help determine if you need multiple portable dehumidifiers or a whole home dehumidifier. We recommend a whole-home dehumidifier installation if your home is located in a humid climate or you need an automatic system.

Choosing a Dehumidifier Size

It's essential to choose the correct size humidifier for your home. We consider your home's relative humidity and the size of your space. A dehumidifier unit is measured by the pints of water it pulls from your home's air daily. Portable dehumidifiers are smaller than whole-home dehumidifiers. Our team will assess the humidity in your air using a hygrometer. We consider your home's square footage and this humidity reading to determine the best size, make, and dehumidifier model for your home.

Dehumidifier Energy Usage

Many customers question the energy uses of dehumidifiers. While a smaller 30-pint dehumidifier uses 300W of energy, a larger 70-pint version uses 700W of energy. A dehumidifier typically draws less electricity than an average hair dryer. Most of the dehumidifier's energy is used to compress refrigerant gas.
