Dependable Dehumidifier Repair in Northern Colorado

When the air in your home is too humid, it can create a host of problems. Mold and mildew can grow in places you wouldn't even think of, such as in your walls and even in your clothing. This can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and even mold infestations in your home. It can even cause structural damage to your home if the moisture is high enough. Luckily, there is a solution to these problems, and that solution is a dehumidifier.

What Is a Dehumidifier?

A dehumidifier is a device that removes moisture from the air. It does this by drawing air into the unit through a filter, where it is then cooled by a refrigerant. This cold air is then expelled back into the room, removing moisture as it goes. Dehumidifiers can be used in any room of your home, but they are especially beneficial in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.

Why Do I Need a Dehumidifier Repair?

Like any piece of machinery, dehumidifiers are bound to break down eventually. Fortunately, dehumidifier repairs are not difficult, and you can usually have the work done in a day or two. However, it is important to have the work done by a professional, because a shoddy repair job can cause more problems in the long run.

Some common dehumidifier repairs include:

• Broken or cracked coils
• Broken or cracked fans
• Broken or cracked motors
• Broken or cracked power switches
• Broken or cracked thermostats
• Broken or cracked wires
• Burned-out light bulbs

We even offer a 24-hour service hotline so that you can get repairs even on days when we are not technically open.

When Should I Repair My Dehumidifier?

The best way to avoid needing a dehumidifier repair is to keep your unit well maintained. This means keeping the filters clean, changing the refrigerant once a year, and performing a general inspection of the unit every six months. If you notice anything unusual, such as a strange noise or a burning smell, get your dehumidifier repaired right away.

You should also get your unit repaired if:

• The dehumidifier is more than five years old
• The dehumidifier is not removing moisture from the air
• The dehumidifier is constantly cycling on and off
• Moisture is collecting in the unit
• You are having trouble turning the unit on or off
• The dehumidifier is making strange noises
• There is a burning smell coming from the unit

How Do I Maintain My Dehumidifier?

You should perform a general inspection of your dehumidifier every six months. This inspection should include checking the filters, making sure the refrigerant is at the right level, and making sure the unit is not collecting moisture. If you notice any moisture, you should immediately empty the unit and wipe it down to remove any dirt or debris. You should also change the filters and perform a full inspection of the unit.
