Large footprints need real capacity. Sizing the unit to the space is most of the job.
Kathleen homes tend to be larger, and older farmhouses have tall crawl spaces with a lot of air volume in them. Both mean more capacity is needed to hold the humidity where it should be, so sizing is the decision that matters most here.
There is also more moisture arriving. With no storm drainage on these lots, rain leaves through the soil and keeps the ground under the house damp for much of the year. Sealing the ground handles the bulk of it and the residual load is still real.
We measure the footprint, the volume, and the current humidity, then size accordingly. The unit gets installed where air can circulate through the whole space, and the condensate is plumbed to a gravity drain, which is usually easy on a lot with fall available.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Kathleen home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
