"After meeting with and getting quotes from other A/C contractors, we decided to work with Jason at JLS Mechanical. We had a great experience working with JLS Mechanical and would wholeheartedly recommend them without any reservations. Jason helped find a creative solution to fit AC into our very old (but charming) Tudor home. He gave us a realistic estimate and stuck to it (no upcharging). His team members are knowledgeable, courteous, showed up on time (and let us know in advance if they anticipated any delays) and their work was neat. JLS Mechanical was very professional and they took pride in their work - which is not always common these days."

Installation and service of all Air conditioning and heating needs
"Wonderful service and communication. They came in well below smaller contractors (30%) who could care less about rebates (or keeping them) and simply weren’t that knowledgeable. System works great and is whisper quiet. Our monthly savings were even more then advertised. Great experience."

Aim for indoor humidity between 30% and 50%, with the sweet spot around 45%. That range keeps mold, dust mites, and musty odors in check while protecting drywall and woodwork. Staying in the zone also helps your HVAC system run more efficiently and supports healthier air for you and your family year-round, during hot summers and cold winter months.
With routine filter changes and coil cleanings, most whole-house units run for eight to 15 years. Heavy use, poor air quality, or bargain-bin equipment can shorten that span, while a well-maintained, high-quality model often makes it to the upper end of the range. Ask your installer about recommended service intervals to get the most mileage from your investment.
It depends on your climate. Homes in cold, dry regions can often shut the dehumidifier off once winter sets in. If you live in a warm, humid area—or your house tends to trap moisture—you may need to keep it running year-round. Use a simple hygrometer: if readings stay below 50%, give the unit a rest. Just remember to restart it when humidity climbs again to avoid mold and condensation.
Dry air feels cooler, so your AC doesn’t have to work as hard. By stripping out excess moisture, the dehumidifier lets you raise the thermostat a few degrees without losing comfort. A shorter AC runtime reduces electricity use and can shave a noticeable amount off your summer power bill. Energy-efficient models further enhance those savings.
If your home is under about 2,000 square feet, a well-placed portable unit can handle the load. Just remember they’re less efficient and need hands-on upkeep—think emptying tanks and cleaning filters. If you prefer set-and-forget convenience or plan to expand your living space, a whole-house model still offers better long-term comfort and lower energy use per square foot.
