What Our Customers Say

"I was very pleased with the professional handling of my plumbing request, from the person who answered my initial call to the two men who did the work for me. They gave me a cost estimate prior to my agreeing to any work and were specific in the breakdown of costs. I will definitely contact them again for any plumbing/hvac work I need done."

"Eddie Hawkins and Tim Sexton were life savers! It is never a good time for your heat to go out, but they got our new unit installed promptly. Very professional."

Contact J.

"Amazing service from HEP office and the service technician, Will. He came out on the coldest night of the year and repaired our heat pump, AND he did it with a smile. Great company, great employee!"

Sandra V.

"Josh showed up at the perfect time. He was just awesome; so efficient, friendly, and able to explain things I never would have understood on my own. He was so kind to my family (even the dogs 😊). I have cancer and will be needing a filtration system put in soon. Josh is the only one I'd trust to do the installation. I was extremely satisfied with the work he did and the time he took to show me how it all worked. By the end, he felt like just another family member in our home, lol."

Ashley M.

"Eddie Hawkins, Chris K and Tim Sexton with Hep were so awesome! They were friendly, professional and efficient as they installed my new heating unit. When I purchased my unit I was welcomed to the Hep family and I can say so far this is a family who has taken great care of me!"

Donna L.

"Charles Roberts and Brett Knight came over today for annual maintenance checks. Both were very professional, courteous, and easy to talk with. A+ guys."

Jason B.

"Reuben did a Gr8 job explains what they did and what recommendations to improve our systems"

Hartley S.

"Heat went out on the 17th. Called HEP on the 18th, they said someone would be here between 1 and 6 and they would call about 30 minutes prior to arrival. Tech called, showed up, got right to work and I had heat that day. Chase is a very good HVAC tech, checked everything out and made sure we had heat in the house before he left. Would certainly use HEP again!"

Noney Y.

"Anthony was awesome. He installed my Iwave on my hvac so now my air will be cleaner. Thank you!"

Dehumidifier Installation Services in Knoxville by HEP

Excess indoor moisture is a year-round challenge for many Knoxville homeowners. HEP’s dedicated heating and air conditioning team installs high-performance dehumidifiers that integrate seamlessly with existing HVAC systems, protecting your property and improving indoor comfort.

Key Takeaways

Targeted whole-home moisture control
Seamless integration with central HVAC equipment
Customized sizing for Knoxville’s climate

Understanding the Role of Dehumidifiers in Knoxville Homes

Knoxville’s humid subtropical climate frequently pushes indoor relative humidity above the recommended 30–50 % range. Without an effective moisture-control strategy, you may notice:

Musty odors that linger even after cleaning
Condensation on windows, walls, or ductwork
Warping wood floors or peeling paint
Aggravated allergy or asthma symptoms

A properly sized dehumidifier reduces excess humidity, helping to:

Improve air quality by discouraging mold and mildew growth
Protect structural components, furniture, and electronics
Reduce the workload on air conditioners, potentially lowering energy usage

Why Choose Professional Dehumidifier Installation

Accurate Sizing and Placement

Selecting a unit strictly by square footage often leads to undersized or oversized equipment. HEP’s technicians measure:

Cubic footage and occupancy rates
Existing HVAC capacity
Typical indoor moisture loads from cooking, bathing, and laundry

Seamless HVAC Integration

A whole-home system connects directly to the supply or return plenum, allowing:

Even humidity control across every conditioned room
Automated drainage into the home’s plumbing or a condensate pump
Unified thermostat or smart controller management

Code Compliance and Warranty Protection

Professional installation ensures:

Proper electrical load distribution
Correct duct modifications and airtight sealing
Adherence to manufacturer specifications, keeping the full warranty intact

The HEP Installation Process

Load Calculation & Moisture Audit
- Technicians collect temperature and RH readings, inspect insulation levels, and identify hidden moisture sources.
Equipment Recommendation
- Dehumidifier capacity, airflow requirements, and filtration options are matched to the audit data.
Duct & Electrical Preparation
- Existing supply or return ductwork is evaluated for static pressure, and dedicated electrical circuits are added if necessary.
Unit Installation & Integration
- The dehumidifier is mounted, ducted, wired, and linked to the HVAC control system for synchronized operation.
Performance Verification
- Post-installation testing confirms balanced airflow, proper condensate drainage, and stable indoor RH levels.

Benefits of Pairing Dehumidification with Heating and Air Conditioning

Enhanced comfort: Lower humidity makes summer setpoints feel cooler, reducing AC runtime.
Energy efficiency: Moisture removal demands less energy than excessive over-cooling.
System longevity: Stable indoor conditions reduce corrosion and biological growth inside ducts and coils.
Healthier environment: Drier air discourages dust mites, mold, and bacteria proliferation.

Common Areas in Knoxville Homes That Benefit from Dehumidification

Finished basements and crawl spaces prone to ground moisture intrusion
Bonus rooms over garages that trap humid air
Kitchens and laundry rooms with high latent loads
Sunrooms and enclosed porches exposed to outdoor humidity
Whole-home duct systems experiencing condensation issues

Post-Installation Maintenance Tips

Proper upkeep maximizes longevity and performance:

Replace or clean the unit’s air filter every 3–6 months.
Inspect condensate lines each season to prevent clogs or leaks.
Schedule annual HVAC tune-ups to keep airflow and temperature balance optimized.
Monitor the integrated hygrometer; adjust settings to maintain 40–50 % RH.
