After collecting excess moisture in your air supply, your whole-home dehumidifier then drains it. If your system isn’t draining correctly, there may be an issue with the drain hose. Drain hoses can get blocked or improperly connected, causing the hose to not drain altogether. If this is the case, you will need to have the hose repaired.
Appliances leaking water is typically not a good sign, especially when it comes to your dehumidifier! Before anything else, make sure to clean up any water leaking from your system promptly. The excess moisture will only add to the already-humid environment, potentially leading to a moldy disaster! Next, you’ll need to call our experts to schedule a whole-home dehumidifier repair.
Is your dehumidifier rattling or creating other strange noises? This could be due to a loose fan motor, loose screws and parts, or the compressor mounting brackets – all of which require professional attention from our team. Your dehumidifier is a fairly quiet operation, so any time you hear significant noises coming from it, you should call us for assistance!
Have you noticed that your dehumidifier is always running? There may be an issue with its humidity sensor. If the humidity sensor on your system is not working correctly, it will detect moisture even if it is not present. Your dehumidifier continuously running could also be due to a faulty humidistat. In either case, you will need assistance from trained professionals at Howell-Chase Heating and Air Conditioning to fix the issue.
If you notice frost building on the evaporator coil of your whole-home dehumidifier, call (843) 466-6414 as soon as possible for repairs! An evaporator coil should never frost and when it does, it will cause disruption to the entire system.
Your dehumidifier may be failing for a number of reasons such as a clogged air filter, dirty coils, or improper installation. Springtime is the perfect season to check and clean your dehumidifier, ensuring that it’s ready for the shift in humidity levels.
Low temperatures, insufficient airflow, or dirty coils can cause freezing. If your dehumidifier is icing up during cool spring mornings, consider adjusting your thermostat or call (843) 466-6414 to have an expert inspect your system.
Loud noises from your dehumidifier may signal a mechanical or motor problem. Address these sounds with our team right away to prevent further damage, as spring moisture can place extra demand on your unit.
