The average lifespan of a dehumidifier typically ranges between 5 to 10 years. To maximize its useful lifetime, it’s important to take care of it properly. Some minor maintenance tasks you can perform include changing the air filters, cleaning the coils and exhaust grills, and emptying and cleaning the water bucket. Additionally, having our team repair your dehumidifier at the first sign of trouble can help your dehumidifier last longer.
Most dehumidifiers only need minor maintenance to be done to ensure they can function efficiently and effectively. Some maintenance you can perform on your home’s dehumidifier includes cleaning the coils and exhaust grills, replacing the filter, and emptying the water bucket. It’s also recommended to have a professional inspect your dehumidifier once a year for any damage. Our experts will let you know if your dehumidifier requires repairs, as well as how much these repairs will cost.
In most cases, repairing your dehumidifier will be worthwhile, as it will only help you extend the lifespan of your dehumidifier and allow you to get more usage out of it before a replacement becomes necessary. It may be best to replace your dehumidifier if the repair costs begin adding up significantly, if multiple parts or components have been replaced, and if the dehumidifier’s performance continues to be subpar compared to what it used to be. Our team is happy to provide you with guidance for whatever dehumidifier services you may need, so be sure to call us to schedule an appointment at the first sign of trouble!
Common signs include the dehumidifier not turning on, producing excessive noise, leaking water, or not effectively reducing the humidity level. If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to consult a repair professional.
It’s generally recommended to have your dehumidifier serviced annually to ensure it operates efficiently. Regular maintenance can help prevent major issues and prolong the life of the appliance.
Most dehumidifiers, whether portable or whole-house systems, can be repaired. However, the feasibility of repair often depends on the extent of damage and the availability of replacement parts. A professional assessment is essential to determine the best course of action.
If your dehumidifier constantly runs, it will collect more moisture than it can handle in all likelihood. Issues that could cause a dehumidifier to continuously run include a defective humidity sensor, insufficient capacity, or an issue with the unit’s electronic system.
Your dehumidifier will struggle to function properly if it has components that are collecting frost on them. The components that might collect frost on your home’s dehumidifier include the compressor, condenser coil, evaporator coil, or the fan motor. If you spot frost on any component in your dehumidifier, call Norman Air today to schedule a technician to conduct a repair.
A dehumidifier that leaks water is counter productive to the purpose a dehumidifier is supposed to serve. If you notice that your dehumidifier is leaking water, it needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent water damage or mold. A leaking dehumidifier usually indicates a problem with the collection bucket or the drain hose that needs to be repaired.
Your dehumidifier should run quietly in the background of your home. Any banging or rattling sounds coming from your dehumidifier are a sign something is wrong. This can be a sign of a fan motor or a mounting bracket in need of repair. Failure to address these issues can lead to a larger problem.
The primary function of your home’s dehumidifier is to collect water. If your home dehumidifier is not collecting water, a repair is necessary. When your dehumidifier won’t collect water it is usually due to an issue with the drain hose.
There are a variety of issues that could be at play if your home’s
dehumidifier won’t stay on, or in other words you turn on the dehumidifier and it won’t run for very long before shutting itself off. Components that could be causing the issue include the compressor, electronic control board, or the evaporator thermistor. Call the experts at Norman Air today to schedule a repair!
