Whole home humidifier

[trlcavscout]

Anyone have recommendations on a good humidifier? Any idea on what it costs to have them installed?

I had a Honeywell unit in my last house. Install was not difficult.

Steam is the only way to go. I sell Aprilaire 800 220v hookup. It will bring the blower motor on when the humidity is below set point. Outdoor temperature sensor is a must.

I typically charge 1800-1909 depending on the install. Something a home owner can do, expect to spend some time on it. I install them regularly with all the correct tools and they take me 4-5 hours.

You could use hghclsstrash or brycom, he's a little closer to you. Both do quality work. .

Our April Air has been trouble free for 15 years.

I installed one of these by myself in our Colorado house about 3 years ago and it did a really great job. Install was not that complicated and it was very low maintenance and easy to operate. Just set the dial to whatever humidity level you want (0-60%) and it will do the rest. I set mine to run any time the heat came on and the level depended on the outside temp. Change the pad every other year or so for $12.

In my professional opinion a by pass humidifier is pretty much a waste of time and money.

1st choice Aprilaire steam, Honeywell steam is junk.

2nd choice is fan powered wired with a blower activation control.

I respect your professional opinion, but it did wonders for the humidity levels in our 3400sqft house.
