The benets of a properly humidied environment are many. They include personal
comfort as well as the preservation of furniture, draperies, carpets, wooden oors
and cabinets, paintings, pianos, etc� Higher humidity levels can also increase the
growth-rate of mold, bacteria, viruses, and even dust mites in the home� Your
home can be more comfortable at a warmer temperature with drier air than without
controlling humidity during the humid summer months� Since every degree of
temperature change represents about 3% to 5% of the total cooling costs, each
degree warmer you can set the thermostat can represent a signicant annual
savings�
During the cooling season, warm, moist air inltrates the home and must be cooled.
When cooled, this air can still be humid as air conditioners are designed to cool the
air, not dehumidify the air. A small amount of dehumidication may be a benet of
air conditioners, but they actually work harder and longer to cool the air when the
air is moist. Only by using a whole house dehumidier to reduce the humidity in the
entire home's air, can a balance between humidity levels, temperature, comfort,
and energy costs be optimized�

The Comfort-D can be installed in a variety of locations to meet the owner's
needs as listed below� In all cases keep the following cautions in mind:
1� The unit is designed to be installed indoors in a space that is protected from
rain, ooding and/or other forms of excess water. Unit is not designed to be
exposed to chlorinated pool conditions or spaces where unit will be exposed
to corrosive chemicals or conditions�
2� Install the unit with space to access the front panel for maintenance and service�
Also allow easy access to the lter cover panel. DO NOT INSTALL UNIT
WITH THE FRONT PANEL OR FILTER COVER PANEL INACCESSIBLE.
3� Avoid discharging the air directly at people, over the water in pool areas, or
other areas or objects where dehydration or evaporation of moisture is not
desired�
4� If used near wet areas, be certain there is NO chance the unit could fall
into the water or be splashed and that it is wired into a GROUND FAULT
INTERRUPTER protected circuit�
5� A secondary drain pan MUST be placed under the unit if installed above a
living area or above an area where water leakage could cause damage (see
local codes for other requirements)
6. DO NOT position the Comfort-D directly on structural members where noise or
vibration may be objectionable. The unit is equipped with adjustable support
feet to raise and level the unit from the mounting surface, these adjustable
feet should be utilized to provide improved drainage from the drain pan and
should be adjusted to tilt slightly toward the drain utilized.
7� The Comfort-D should be located near the existing air handling system to
minimize the required ductwork for connecting of the Comfort-D to the existing
air handling system� When the remote control option is used, the control
(humidistat) unit must be located in the space that is to be conditioned. The
control (humidistat) may be low voltage (24 volt) and should be connected to
the Comfort-D with code approved, low voltage thermostat cable�
8� When locating the Comfort-D in areas of extreme heat or high humidity,
>120-degrees/90% humidity, additional external insulation may be required to
prevent undesired condensation on the exterior of the unit.

Comfort-D Dehumidiers are designed for installing as a Whole House Dehumidi-
er, but in some instances, Spot Dehumidication may be necessary. See below
for the type of installation that best ts the situation:
Whole Home Dehumidier Installations:
In a Basement or Crawl Space with an Existing Forced Air HVAC System
If the structure in which the Comfort-D System is to be installed has an existing
forced air HVAC system, utilize the HVAC system to make the Comfort-D System
installation easier and provide better system performance�
Basement or Crawl Space Installation: Install a separate 8" (D75) or 10” (D95)
return for the Comfort-D in a central area of the structure or if the return ducting is
adequate tap into the existing return duct system near the return air grill. Duct the
supply of the Comfort-D System to the return ducting of the existing HVAC system.
(See diagram on next page.) The fan interlock provision must be utilized for proper
system performance�
In an Attic with an Existing Forced Air HVAC System
ALWAYS install a secondary drain pan with a drain or oat interrupt for condensa-
tion under the Comfort-D in an attic to prevent condensate overow that may drip
down, damaging the ceiling or living space below�
Install a separate 8" (D-75) or 10” (D-95) return for the Comfort-D in a central area
of the structure or if the return ducting is adequate, tap into the existing return duct
system near the return air grill� Duct the supply of the Comfort-D System to the
return ducting of the existing HVAC system. The fan interlock provision must be
utilized for proper system performance�
Installation in a Structure with Two Forced Air HVAC Systems
Attach the Comfort-D return to an independent return from the upper level� At-
tach the Comfort-D supply to the return of the basement HVAC system. This will
promote circulation of air through the whole structure from the upper level to the
lower level through the Comfort-D. If the Comfort-D is not connected to both HVAC
systems, it may not control the humidity of the entire structure� The fan interlock
provision should be connected to the lower, ducted, HVAC system and must be
utilized for proper system performance�
Installation in a Structure with No Existing Forced Air HVAC System
When installing the Comfort-D in a structure that does not have a forced air HVAC
system, a single return for the Comfort-D should be installed in central open area
of the structure� DO NOT locate the return in a bathroom or a kitchen� The supply
of the Comfort-D should be located in the remote areas of the structure (such as
bedrooms, den, etc...). By ducting this way, the air inside the structure will circu-
late through the Comfort-D to be ltered and dehumidied. 5" (D75) or 6" (D95)
diameter duct is recommended for branches to the bedrooms, 6" (D75) or 8" (D95)
diameter duct is recommended for branches to larger areas�

Install Location
Spot Dehumidier Installations:
Installation in a Sealed Crawl Space or Sealed Attic
When installing the Comfort-D in a sealed crawlspace or sealed attic, a single re-
turn for the Comfort-D should be installed in the central open area of the structure�
If the area is open without partitions, return ducting is not necessary� Supply duct-
ing is recommended to enhance the performance of the system, a minimum length
of supply duct, 3’ to 6’ will aid in air distribution. If the area(s) being served are
divided by walls or partitions, a supply and return duct system is recommended�
In all cases, sound duct design practices must be followed such as those provided
in ACCA Manual “D”, or ASHRAE’s “Fundamentals of Air System Design”.

Ducting
Installing Duct
The Comfort-D is equipped with either an 8" (D75) or 10” (D95) round duct collar
inlet, and an 8" (D75) or 10” (D95) round exhaust/supply collar that provides for
connecting to the supply distribution system� In all cases sound duct design prac-
tices must be followed such as those provided in ACCA manual “D”, or ASHRAE’s
“Fundamentals of Air System design”.
Ducting for Dehumidication
For the ideal installation, draw air from the central part of the home and return it to
the isolated areas of the home like the bedrooms, den, utility room, or family room�
The ductwork of the existing HVAC system can be used to supply air to the home.
If the existing supply duct adequately serves all areas of the home, discharge the
supply air of the Comfort-D into the return of the existing HVAC system where it
can distributed throughout the space. The existing return duct, if adequate, may
be used as return for the Comfort-D� DO NOT draw air directly from the kitchen,
laundry, or isolated basement� You may draw air from a basement that is open to
the home. All exible ducting connected to the Comfort-D should be approved by
local codes and in most cases insulated�
Return air ducts should be designed to allow unimpeded air ow to the return side
of the system. For returns less than 10 feet in length, an 8" (D75) or 10” (D95)
round or equal may be utilized� Multiple returns are acceptable�
The supply air outlet and the return air inlet are located on each end of the Com-
fort-D. A length of acoustical ex ducting on the outlet of the Comfort-D will reduce
air noise from the fan. A length of exible ducting on all Comfort-D duct connec-
tions is recommended to reduce noise and vibration transmitted to rigid ductwork
in the structure�
Ducting the Comfort-D as mentioned in the “Ducting” sections requires consider-
ation of the following points:
Duct Sizing: For total duct lengths up to 10', use a minimum 8" (D75) or 10” (D95)
diameter round or equivalent rectangular� For longer lengths, up to 25’, use a mini-
mum 10" (D75) or 12" (D95) diameter or equivalent duct size. Grills or diffusers
utilized must not excessively restrict airow.
Isolated Areas: Effective dehumidication may require that ducting be branched
to isolated, stagnant areas. Use 8" (D75) or 10” (D95) or larger diameter branch
ducting to each of two or three areas, use 6" or larger to each of four or more areas�
Connecting to Existing HVAC Systems: For proper operation, connecting to
existing air handler and duct systems requires the fans of each system to be in-
terlocked utilizing the low voltage interlock method provided in the Comfort-D low
voltage connection diagram� Refer to low voltage connection diagram in this docu-
ment and on the unit�
