"ARS would NOT offer financing unless the job was over $10,000. The quote for the replacement heat pump was substantially below the requirement for financing but, unable to pay cash or get a loan, the sales rep RAISED the price of the job to $10,000 because that was all he was willing to do! Thanks for nothing, pal. I was forced to over pay just for the privilege of getting ARS financing! He said I had to also buy the thermostat that ?came with it?. I made it perfectly clear that I would be using my own. On installation day, the guy installing the unit did an acceptable job. At my request, they agreed to let me keep the old heat pump. I knew I could make some money from recycling it. The guy installing the new thermostat was completely unprofessional. He purposely threw my existing thermostat onto the floor like he was trying to damage it. Unacceptable, as I intended to reinstall it. Total lack of respect! I?m so happy that I won?t be dealing with ARS again. "

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.
