Whole-House Dehumidifier
Installation in Southern NH
A.J. LeBlanc Heating installs Aprilaire whole-house dehumidifiers across Southern NH. Family-owned since 1928. Every install includes a digital humidistat, automatic drainage, and our workmanship warranty for muggy NH summers.
Dehumidifier Options We Install
Ducted Dehumidifiers
Aprilaire dehumidifiers tie directly into your HVAC ductwork and treat the entire home from one central unit. Quiet operation and automatic humidity control for Southern NH homes.
Basement Dehumidifiers
Aprilaire basement units handle high-moisture loads in finished basements and crawl spaces. They drain directly to a condensate pump or floor drain, so there is no bucket emptying.
Standalone Humidistat Control
A wall-mounted humidistat monitors humidity and cycles the dehumidifier only when needed. Set it once and forget it. The dehumidifier runs in the background 24/7.
Crawl Space Dehumidifiers
Sealed crawl spaces benefit most from dedicated dehumidification. A crawl space dehumidifier prevents wood rot, mold, and moisture buildup that can affect the entire Southern NH home above.
A Portable Dehumidifier Is Not Enough
Portable dehumidifiers pull 30 to 50 pints a day, fill a bucket you have to empty, use a lot of electricity, and only dry out one room. A whole-home unit installed by A.J. LeBlanc Heating pulls 70 to 130 pints, drains automatically, uses far less energy per pint removed, and treats the entire Southern NH home. It also works with your A/C. The A/C handles temperature, the dehumidifier handles humidity, and you do not need to run the A/C any colder than you want just to feel dry.

Dehumidifier FAQ
What humidity level should I target in summer?
45 to 55 percent is the comfort range for Southern NH homes. Below 40 percent can feel too dry. Above 60 percent feels muggy and can promote mold growth. A.J. LeBlanc Heating typically sets the humidistat to 50 percent as a starting point and adjusts based on your preferences.
Can my A/C handle humidity by itself?
Partially. A/C removes some moisture as a side effect of cooling, but only when it is running. On mild summer days when the A/C does not cycle much, humidity can creep up. A dedicated whole-house dehumidifier handles humidity independently, which is why many Southern NH customers notice their home feels much more comfortable even at higher A/C setpoints.
Does a dehumidifier help prevent mold?
Yes. Keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent significantly reduces mold growth risk. Basements and crawl spaces in Southern NH are especially vulnerable, and a dedicated dehumidifier in those spaces can eliminate long-term moisture damage.
How much electricity does a whole-house dehumidifier use?
Modern whole-house dehumidifiers are 2 to 3 times more efficient than portable units per pint of water removed. Annual operating cost in Southern NH is typically $150 to 300 depending on home size and humidity load, often offset by reduced A/C runtime.
