Is Crawl Space Moisture Hurting Your HVAC System?

Is your energy bill rising?

HVAC system straining?

Indoor air feeling damp or musty?

The issue might not be your unit — it might be your crawl space.

At PierPoint Foundation Solutions, we’ve helped Arkansas homeowners uncover how moisture and poor air quality beneath the home can affect heating, cooling, and overall HVAC efficiency.

🌀 How Crawl Space Conditions Impact HVAC Systems

Your crawl space isn’t just where your system lives — it directly affects how your HVAC operates.

Here’s why:

• Moist air is harder to condition — high humidity makes your HVAC work overtime

• Ductwork can absorb moisture — reducing airflow and efficiency

• Mold and mildew grow on coils — leading to clogs and performance loss

• Condensation causes rust or corrosion — damaging metal parts over time

• Energy loss through gaps or unsealed systems — costing you $$$

⚠️ Signs Your Crawl Space is Affecting Your HVAC

• AC or heat constantly running

• Weak airflow from vents

• Musty air coming through returns

• Mold or mildew odor when unit kicks on

• Condensation or rust on system components

• Utility bills rising without explanation

🛠️ What PierPoint Can Do

We don’t service HVACs — we protect them by fixing the crawl space around them.

Here’s what we offer:

✔️ Drainage system to remove standing water

✔️ Encapsulation system to seal the crawl space from outside air

✔️ Dehumidifier installation to stabilize moisture year-round

✔️ Insulated walls or floors to prevent thermal swings

✔️ Mold and microbial treatment around ductwork or supports

✔️ Humidity monitoring with remote access (optional)

By protecting your system from the environment, you restore airflow, increase efficiency, and extend the life of your investment.

💸 What Poor Crawl Conditions Really Cost

Issue Cost to Repair

Mold inside ductwork $1,000–$3,500

Replacing rusted furnace coils $2,000–$5,000

Full HVAC replacement $8,000–$12,000

Monthly energy overuse $20–$100/month

Don’t wait until the whole system fails — the crawl space may be causing the problem.
