Whole-house dehumidifiers help homeowners in Wilmington, NC maintain balanced indoor humidity. Installed in air ducts, these integrated HVAC system accessories remove moisture just before conditioned air enters buildings. With dehumidifier installation, you can get rid of problems like wet windows and windowsills, damp drywall, and rank odors.
Although your HVAC system offers humidity regulation of its own, it may not be enough to meet your needs. If your home always feels muggy, clammy, or oppressive, excess moisture is the most likely reason why.
At Green Dot Heating & Air, we offer cutting-edge options in home humidity control to help our clients maintain healthy, comfortable living environments.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it’s best to keep the humidity in your Wilmington home between 30% and 50%. Although targeting 40% to 60% is a far more manageable goal for many households, as soon as indoor moisture exceeds 60%, the likelihood of developing mold greatly increases.
Having excess humidity inside your home can cause a host of problems.
Blistered and peeling paint
Warped furnishings and building materials
Damaged floors and sub-floors
Discolored walls and ceilings
Dehumidifiers combat these and other issues. They also prevent unpleasant symptoms like difficulty breathing and sinus irritation. Extracting excess moisture from your indoor air can also protect your home heating and cooling equipment. Maintaining balanced humidity and an acceptably high indoor air quality (IAQ) limits operational stress. With improved home humidity control, you can look forward to lower heating and cooling costs, fewer repair issues, and longer equipment lifespans overall.
Integrated dehumidifier installation is far preferable to using a portable, freestanding dehumidifier. Simple, standalone units can only extract moisture from a single room at a time. Moreover, they do so indiscriminately and can leave spaces feeling overly dry. Portable units can also develop problems with mold and mildew of their own if they aren’t diligently maintained.
When installing dehumidifiers, we start by looking for the underlying causes of excess moisture. For large households and in tightly sealed buildings, having too much moisture in the air could be the result of multiple long, steamy showers, steamy cooking projects, or simply having lots of people milling about. In others, excess moisture is the result of plumbing leaks, wet foundations, or failed roofing systems. Identifying and addressing fixable problems first ensures the success of these installations and promotes better health and comfort for building residents.
