Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean my whole-home dehumidifier?
We recommend lightly cleaning your dehumidifier at least once per week. You’ll also want to change the air filter every four to six months and have the unit professionally serviced yearly.
What size dehumidifier do I need for my home?
You’ll need a 10-pint capacity for the first 500 sq. feet and will want to add 4 pints for every additional 500 square feet. Sizing is crucial; otherwise, your system can’t efficiently dehumidify your home.
Where does the water drain?
Whole-home dehumidifiers automatically empty the water away from your home or via a nearby drain.
