Yes, I would do it again. If I move homes in TX, I will do it again. Worth it.

I cannot stress that "second guessing the Pro's" statement. Im also in tech and I see it so much in my own field going back over previous contractors work. To expound on that, Im also in tech and I see it so much in my own field going back over previous contractors work. I think its mostly complacency/laziness as well as lack of knowledge by lower level installers trying to get the job done as fast as possible. I would guess its rare the HVAC "engineer" that designed your HVAC system will also be doing the installation. Thats why its critical to project manage as much as possible. That said, like you...I just DIY as much as possible. Nobody is going to care about your own stuff as much as you.

Awesome project. Would you do it again? I am considering having one installed here in Austin. We have a two-story home, and the first floor with brick cladding acts like a convection oven for the upstairs. I just completed residing using Zip R6 and reinsulating the attic, which helped mitigate the upstairs temp. I have a question: Where is the best place for the humidity gauge sensor? Upstairs has more humidity, and it would be the best place for it, logically, but the installer said not since it is going to be connected to the HVAC blower--the humidity gauge should go into the HVAC return supply. To achieve lower upstairs humidity, the whole house Humidity % will have to be lower, so then you adjust the gauge, and it doesn't matter where the control is located. Seems reasonable, any thoughts?

Thanks for the video! Looking at getting this same model installed in my home in north Georgia, USA. Quotes are coming in around $6500 for the install of the E100V. I've never done any HVAC work but the large cost has me thinking about it. I have a three story town home. The top floor is on its own HVAC system and the middle and bottom floors are on another HVAC system. The top floor has issues with humidity and keeping temp during the late summer heat when it can get around 90% humidity and around/over 100 degrees outside. To keep the top floor from getting above 60% humidity I have to set the temp low and the unit runs non-stop all day just about.

Thank you for video! I’m also in Houston and looking at installing the same dehumidifier myself. I’m considering doing either dedicated return to HVAC supply or tying into HVAC return to HVAC supply. With your install, it looks like you are doing the former. Did you have to do any static pressure test to make sure it’s not going to cause high static pressure when running? Also, are you planning on running the dehumidifier while the HVAC is also running?
