Dehumidifier Repair & Replacement

Living in Rex, Georgia, and surrounding areas means dealing with the South’s infamous humidity. Luckily, we have dehumidifiers quietly working to keep our indoor air comfortable and safe. Like any other appliance, however, dehumidifiers need maintenance and they don’t last forever.
If your home or business dehumidifier has fallen into disrepair, or if it’s time to replace your existing unit, then contact Alvarez Heating & Air Conditioning to hire trained technicians from reputable, licensed, and insured companies.

Why Dehumidifiers Matter

Before we get into maintenance and repair, it’s worth understanding what dehumidifiers do and why they’re so important.
In simple terms, a dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air, thereby helping to prevent mold, mildew, and the unpleasant musty odors that thrive in damp environments. For those with allergies, dehumidifiers are lifesavers as they help reduce dust mites and other allergens that love high humidity.

The technicians sent by this company quickly came out to fix my broken air conditioner. The technician did a great job and was honest, charging a fair price for the fix. My AC works great now that they are done with the job quickly and well. I'm happy with the service! Keep up the good and honest work. Will use them again if I need HVAC service.

My HVAC unit was only about 10 years old and I needed to get a new one. Their staff was incredibly friendly, responsive, helpful, honest, and easy to work with. The two men who came to install the new unit were amazing as well. They were on time, efficient, and knew exactly what needed to be done. I am very happy that I found this company when I needed a new HVAC unit. They offer reliable and affordable service. If you need a local HVAC company, give them a call.

He was able to fix the AC unit efficiently and quickly and left no mess behind. We recommend this company anyone having AC or heating issues.

Maintenance 101: Keeping Your Dehumidifier in Top Shape

Like any appliance, dehumidifiers benefit from regular upkeep. A well-maintained dehumidifier not only performs better but also lasts longer. Here are some quick tips to keep yours running smoothly:

Clean or Replace the Air Filter: The air filter traps dust and other particles. Over time, it can get clogged and make the unit work harder than necessary.
Empty and Clean the Water Tank: If your dehumidifier doesn’t have a direct drain, then you’ll need to empty the water tank regularly.
Inspect the Coils: Dirty or frozen coils can hinder the dehumidifier’s efficiency. Clean them gently with a soft brush or cloth.
Check the Hose (if applicable): For units with a drain hose, make sure the hose is not kinked or clogged.
Test the Humidity Sensor: The sensor tells your dehumidifier when to turn on and off. Test it occasionally to ensure accuracy.

These simple measures alone can help maximize the life expectancy and efficiency of your unit. If you’d rather leave the tune-up and maintenance to trained technicians, then call Alvarez Heating & Air Conditioning to hire a professional.

Signs Your Dehumidifier Needs Repairs

Even with regular maintenance, issues can crop up. It might be time to call Alvarez Heating & Air Conditioning if you notice any of the following problems:

If the air still feels damp after running the dehumidifier.
If you hear unusual sounds like grinding, clicking, or buzzing.
If there are puddles around the unit.
If the coils freeze over.
If the dehumidifier turns on and off repeatedly.

When It’s Time for a Dehumidifier Replacement

No appliance lasts forever, and dehumidifiers are no exception. Most units last between 5 to 10 years, but that depends on usage and maintenance. Here are some signs that it’s time to invest in a new unit:

If repairs don’t work.
If you’re calling for repairs every few months.
If there are cracks, rust, or other visible damage in the housing.

Moreover, upgrading could save you money on your energy bills and improve convenience. Newer models are more energy-efficient and may include features like smart controls and quieter operation.
Still, have questions or concerns? Feel free to call Alvarez Heating & Air Conditioning to consult with a member of our team. We’re happy to arrange a face-to-face meeting or onsite visit as soon as possible.
