High humidity is a common challenge for homes in Western Washington, and it can have a real impact on your comfort and the health of your indoor environment.

At Black Hills Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we provide whole-home dehumidifier services that help control moisture, protect your home from mold and mildew, and create a more comfortable living space year-round.

Signs Your Home May Need a Dehumidifier

Not all humidity problems are obvious, but certain signs suggest your indoor air holds more moisture than it should.

  • Persistent musty odors, especially in basements or closets
  • Condensation on windows or sliding glass doors
  • Mold or mildew growth on walls, ceilings, or around vents
  • Sticky or clammy feeling indoors, even when the temperature is comfortable
  • Difficulty keeping indoor humidity at recommended levels (30–50%)

If you notice one or more of these issues, it may be time to consider dehumidifier services in Washington to restore comfort and protect your home.

Benefits of Installing a Whole-Home Dehumidifier

Adding a whole-home dehumidifier to your HVAC system brings a range of advantages for both comfort and health.

  • Improved indoor comfort by removing excess moisture and eliminating that muggy feeling
  • Better air quality that discourages mold, mildew, and dust mite growth
  • Protection for your home by preventing damage to wood floors, furniture, and structural elements
  • Energy efficiency because your air conditioning system can cool more effectively without having to remove as much moisture from the air
  • Year-round benefits, even in cooler months, by controlling moisture from everyday activities like cooking, bathing, and laundry

How Dehumidifiers Work to Enhance Indoor Air Quality

Whole-home dehumidifiers integrate directly into your air quality system, working alongside your heating and cooling equipment. As air circulates through your ductwork, the dehumidifier draws in moist air and passes it over cooling coils.

Water vapor condenses on the coils, is collected, and drained away. The now drier air is redistributed throughout your home, reducing relative humidity and creating a healthier indoor environment.

By maintaining optimal humidity, your HVAC system can focus on temperature control, which improves overall performance and energy efficiency.

Key Features to Look for in a Dehumidifier System

When selecting a whole-home dehumidifier, consider the following features:

  • Capacity that matches the size of your home and your average humidity levels
  • Automatic controls, such as humidistats, for precise humidity management
  • Energy efficiency to remove moisture while consuming minimal energy
  • Low-maintenance design with easy filter access and self-draining options
  • Quiet operation if the unit is located near living spaces

Real Comments From Real People

So Very Impressed

- Debbie F.

Diamond Harris was the HVAC Design who came to my house to give me an estimate for a tankless water heater. I was so very impressed. His customer service, extensive knowledge, and professionalism certainly earn the grade of an A+. A true reflection on black hills Inc.'s hiring practice of hiring and retaining only the best employees. My estimate included not only the tankless water heater but the full installation. Diamond Harris is an asset to your company. Black hills inc was referred to me by my parents who had 3 major projects completed by black hills Inc., and loved working with them. With employees like Diamond, I now see why. Such a positive experience. Thank you. Please give my sincere thank-you to Diamond

Awesome Customer Service

- Lillian B.

We spoke to 3 different companies to get an estimate for a new system. Black Hills was the only company that did exactly what they said they would do from the start. I appreciate the text/photo letting me know who would be arriving and he came right on time. Travis was very polite and professional and answered all of our questions. The installation crew was also very quick and professional and cleaned up afterward. Follow-ups to make sure we were happy with service also appreciated. Awesome customer service

Great Service

- Jordon C.

Great service, No BS. Our AC was not keeping up, had a feeling it was because of a leaking coil on the inner unit. Was confirmed by Black Hills Inc. and was set-up with an appointment with a comfort specialist. After the survey with the specialist (Bento Yanez), we sat down and discussed options for replacement, turning out that full replacement with a heat pump/ac/new furnace would be the most efficient cost-effective option. Black Hills was able to access all the previous history on our unit since prior homeowners had used them, they could pull up everything that had previous work done. Looking forward to the replacement unit being installed in only 4 days, after the survey.
