Industrial and commercial dehumidifiers fail early for one reason more than any other: improper installation and incomplete startup.
Airflow mistakes, poor duct transitions, bad sensor placement, or skipped commissioning steps create long-term instability that no amount of service can fully fix later.

We install and commission dehumidification systems so they perform as designed from day one and continue to do so under real operating conditions.

A dehumidifier is not a plug-and-play HVAC accessory. It is a process control system that depends on correct airflow, pressure, controls, and integration.

Improper installation commonly leads to:

• Unstable or rising humidity

• Inability to reach or hold setpoints

• Excessive run time and energy use

• Repeated alarms or nuisance faults

• Premature failure of heaters, motors, or controls

• Chronic service calls with no permanent fix

Many “problem units” we’re asked to repair were never installed or started up correctly in the first place.

We take a structured, engineering-first approach to installation and commissioning.

1. Site and Environment Review

We evaluate the space, moisture load, airflow paths, access, and operational conditions to confirm the system is appropriate for the application.

2. Equipment Placement and Integration

Proper placement ensures service access, correct airflow patterns, and compatibility with existing HVAC or process systems.

3. Ductwork and Airflow Configuration

Airflow and static pressure are verified against manufacturer requirements. This is one of the most common failure points when non-specialists install dehumidifiers.

4. Electrical and Controls Verification

Power, controls, sensors, alarms, interlocks, and communications are checked for correct wiring, configuration, and safety operation.

5. Startup and Commissioning

The system is operated under load. We verify temperature, humidity response, airflow, and recovery behavior to confirm real-world performance.

6. Operator Orientation

We explain how the system should behave, what normal operation looks like, and what warning signs should trigger service.

If the equipment was physically installed by a general contractor or in-house team, we can perform the startup and commissioning phase independently.

This often resolves issues such as:

• Incorrect airflow direction or balance

• Sensor placement or calibration errors

• Control logic problems

• Alarms triggered by startup configuration issues

• Systems that “never quite worked right”

Commissioning is frequently the difference between a reliable system and years of frustration.

Correct installation requires familiarity with the equipment itself, not generic HVAC assumptions.

We install and commission systems from:

• IAT — factory-trained and authorized

• Stulz — trusted support for legacy dehumidification systems

• Munters, CDI, Bryair — extensive field experience

• Additional industrial and commercial OEM platforms

When other contractors struggle to make a system perform, it’s usually because they don’t know the equipment well enough. We do.

Professional installation and startup are critical in environments where humidity control directly impacts operations, safety, or product quality:

• Food and beverage operations

• Packaging and materials handling

• Manufacturing environments

• Logistics and cold chain facilities

• Aerospace and defense operations

• Pharmaceutical and controlled spaces

• Precision electronics and technical rooms

• Maritime and shipboard environments

• Climate-controlled storage

• Government and institutional facilities

In these environments, instability is not an inconvenience. It’s a risk.

Some facilities cannot wait for local availability or learn by trial and error.

Our teams support installation and startup through:

• National field service coverage

• International service support when required

• Flexible scheduling for operational environments

• Experience in high-value and time-sensitive facilities

When downtime isn’t an option, we go where the system is.

If you are installing new equipment, replacing an aging unit, or dealing with a system that never performed correctly, the next step is a clear, informed evaluation.

We help you understand what the system needs to work properly and make sure it does.
