WHOLE-HOME HUMIDITY CONTROL, Built to Last

Whole House & Commercial Dehumidifiers

Whole-home and commercial dehumidifiers for installed humidity control, including ducted whole-house systems and commercial wall-mounted units for cleaner, drier indoor air.

What is a whole house dehumidifier?

A whole house dehumidifier is an installed HVAC humidity-control system that removes moisture from indoor air across the home. Instead of treating one small area, it connects with ducted airflow, uses continuous drainage, and runs from an automatic humidistat to help keep indoor humidity in a healthier comfort range.

Whole-home dehumidification is useful when damp indoor air affects comfort, air conditioning performance, musty odors, condensation, or mold-friendly conditions. The system is selected around moisture load, airflow, drainage, voltage, service access, and how it will connect with the rest of the HVAC layout.

APOLLO dehumidifiers for homes and commercial spaces

MBTEK focuses this collection on two installed APOLLO product families: ducted whole-home dehumidifiers for residential HVAC systems and commercial wall-mounted dehumidifiers for larger moisture-control applications.

Use this collection to choose the application first, then confirm capacity, power supply, drainage, controls, and service conditions on the product page. For larger homes, indoor pools, gyms, workshops, storage areas, and commercial spaces, matching the dehumidifier to the building is more important than choosing by headline pints per day alone.

Whole house dehumidifier vs small room dehumidifier

Whole house system

A whole house dehumidifier is installed into the HVAC layout and moves air through ducted paths. It is built for broader humidity control, automatic operation, continuous drainage, and serviceable long-term use.

Small room unit

A standalone room unit can help a limited area, but it usually cannot move enough air through the full HVAC system to control humidity across an entire home. Whole-home projects need equipment sized for the building and connected airflow.

Commercial wall-mounted dehumidifiers

Commercial dehumidifiers are selected for spaces with higher moisture load, larger air volume, or more demanding operating schedules. APOLLO wall dehumidifiers are built for projects where a compact wall-mounted or floor-standing unit is a better fit than a ducted residential system.

Common applications include indoor pools, gyms, mechanical rooms, workshops, storage areas, and commercial spaces where humidity control supports comfort, air quality, building protection, and more stable HVAC operation.

Sizing, installation, and cost basics

Dehumidifier sizing and installation cost depend on moisture load, square footage, airflow, ducting, drainage, power supply, controls, and site conditions. A qualified HVAC professional should confirm capacity and installation details before ordering.

  • Capacity Compare pints per day, design humidity, air volume, and real moisture sources instead of using floor area alone.
  • Airflow Confirm ducted airflow for whole-home systems or room air circulation for wall-mounted commercial systems.
  • Drainage Plan a reliable condensate path so moisture removal can run automatically without manual water handling.
  • Power and controls Match the unit to available voltage, humidistat location, Wi-Fi or remote monitoring needs, and service access.

Maintenance basics

Dehumidifier maintenance keeps moisture removal, airflow, and energy efficiency stable. Follow the product manual and use a qualified HVAC professional for service that involves electrical components, refrigerant components, ductwork, or wall-mounted commercial equipment.

  • Filters Inspect and replace filters on the schedule in the product manual, especially in dusty or high-use spaces.
  • Drain line Keep the condensate drain clear so removed moisture can leave the system reliably.
  • Coils and air paths Check coils, grilles, ducts, and air openings for dust or blockage that can reduce airflow.
  • Controls Verify humidistat settings, sensors, alarms, Wi-Fi monitoring, and operating modes during routine HVAC service.

Dehumidifier FAQ

Whole House and Commercial Dehumidifiers - Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers about whole-home dehumidifiers, commercial humidity control, sizing, installation, cost factors, indoor air quality, and maintenance.

What is a whole house dehumidifier?

A whole house dehumidifier is an installed HVAC system that removes moisture from indoor air across the home. It typically connects to ducted airflow, drains automatically, and runs from a humidistat to help maintain comfortable indoor humidity.

How does a whole home dehumidifier work?

A whole home dehumidifier pulls humid air through the system, cools it so water condenses out of the air, drains that water away, and sends drier air back through the HVAC layout. A humidistat turns the unit on and off based on the target humidity setting.

Is a whole house dehumidifier worth it?

A whole house dehumidifier can be worth it when humidity affects comfort, musty odors, condensation, air conditioning performance, or mold-friendly conditions across more than one area. The value depends on climate, building tightness, moisture sources, HVAC design, and installation quality.

What is the difference between a whole house dehumidifier and a small room unit?

A whole house dehumidifier is installed into the HVAC layout and selected for broader airflow and automatic drainage. A small room unit treats a limited area and usually cannot move enough air through the building to manage humidity across the full home.

Which APOLLO dehumidifier is right for my home or building?

Choose the APOLLO Whole Home Dehumidifier for ducted residential HVAC humidity control. Choose the APOLLO Commercial Wall Dehumidifier for higher-capacity commercial humidity control where a wall-mounted or floor-standing system is the better fit.

How do you size a whole house or commercial dehumidifier?

Size a dehumidifier by moisture load, square footage, occupancy, air volume, target humidity, drainage, ducting or room circulation, and operating conditions. Pints per day is important, but it should be matched to the building rather than used alone.

How much does a whole home dehumidifier cost to install?

Installation cost depends on the dehumidifier model, duct access, drainage, electrical work, controls, service access, and site conditions. Product price is only one part of the total installed system, so a contractor should confirm the full scope.

What maintenance does a dehumidifier need?

Maintenance usually includes filter replacement, drain-line checks, coil and air-path inspection, humidistat or sensor checks, and confirming that airflow is not blocked. Follow the product manual for the model-specific service schedule.
