Get the benefits of improved indoor air quality now.
Here in Northern Virginia, we can experience high humidity for nearly nine months out of the year, with a significant chance of humidity levels above 50%. High humidity in your home can lead to the growth of mold and mildew on your walls, clothes, books, paper, and floors. It can cause damage to the things you own and love, not to mention the impact on your comfort.
That feeling of warm stickiness, even when the temperatures aren’t that high, can make your home uncomfortable. Your air conditioning system can work to rid your home of the humidity, but it puts undue strain on a system that’s already working hard to keep your home cool during our hot Virginia summers. There is an answer, and that is installing a whole-home dehumidifier.
The first thing you’ll notice is how much more comfortable your home feels when the humidity is being managed by your dehumidifier. You won’t have the threat of mold and mildew, and your air will feel and smell fresher. Your home will be spared the damage that comes with wood rot and peeling paint. Plus, your air conditioning system won’t need to strain as much to keep your home comfortable. This will improve the overall efficiency of your AC and extend its lifespan.
Your first move should be to contact us about what you want in a whole-home dehumidifier. We are HVAC experts in Northern Virginia and can help you find the right model and setup for your home. Based on the size and layout of your home, we can recommend a system that will handle your home’s square footage. We’ll also determine the level of moisture your home holds and recommend something that can effectively remove it from the air. We’ll look at your current HVAC system and recommend a type that will fit your existing ductwork.
We can typically complete the job in 4-8 hours. We will arrive with all the tools and equipment we need. One of our team members will have visited your home and informed the technicians about the details of the job. If we encounter any delays or unexpected conditions, we will inform you right away. At IAQ Medics, we believe in getting the job done right.
Yes, regular maintenance of your new dehumidifier is essential. Before we leave, we will review the typical maintenance you’ll need to perform. This might include cleaning or replacing filters that trap air and dust and emptying a water collection bucket if there is one. Beyond the maintenance work you can do, you should have us come out once a year to check for any issues, clear out any condensate lines, clean the coils, and inspect the system for wear and tear.
Simply give us a call and set up an appointment. We can have one of our team members come to your home and inspect it. We can give you an estimate and set up a date for your installation. We can answer any other questions you have about dehumidifiers and the many benefits they can provide. We have been working in Northern Virginia for over a decade and know how they can make a difference in your home's overall comfort.
