I got my AC guy coming next week. I’m doing a steam humidifier, auto shut off switch for my drain, cleaning my coils, and putting the light for killing allergies or something. My wife suffers from bad allergies, and I was told this was the best thing to do

Steam humidifier in a home with water softener causes salt and calcium buildup. Am also told humidity will sink to lower floors. So, a whole house (mine 3500 sq ft) humidifier should be installed in the attic. Our floor plan has limited space. With these considerations do you have a whole house humidifier recommendation? The last recommendation given to me was to wall mount in the closet and run a steam line to the heat pump air handler in the attic.

A bypass humidifier tied into your ductwork, maybe the Aprilaire 600

Thank you for the presentation. Does any of these work with air-conditioning? In peak summer also, the AC can make it very dry. Thanks again.

@fireiceheatingandaircondit4363 2 жыл бұрын

No, and air conditioner works because it is removing moisture from the air. Adding more moisture adds more heat.

Great presentation! Thanks for sharing. I have four (4) geothermal units and a Reme-Halo LED on each of them; my son has severe asthma and uses a nebulizer throughout the day. My nose bleeds sometimes due to dry air, would my home 5500 sq ft benefit from the steam whole home humidifier? I live in the Central U.S.

Our local heating and Air Company (Roanoke Va) quoted us $2500 for a whole home humidifier! WTF! Our house is less than 2000 sf!

@fireiceheatingandaircondit4363 Жыл бұрын

Wow, a whole home dehumidifier would run that, but definitely not a humidifier. Time to find someone new.

So what kind of whole house humidifer will work in my house in the summer? When there is NO heat going on. We like the temperature about 78 degrees, so the air conditioning turns on regularly. I cannot seem to fiind this information anywhere.

@matthewreid618 2 жыл бұрын

I was just quoted $2800 for a Trans steam humidifier. A lot more than I expected. Everything online says $1000.

@brentgravois7955 2 жыл бұрын

a steam humidifier will cost more than a $1000 with install. On average the Aprilaire 800 will cost $800 just for the humidifier. Then you usually run a 240vac circuit, plus you will need additional parts for installation. After that it just depends on the cost for labor. ($150/hr give or take).

Is the aprilaire 300 the best unit for a double wide with the air hander being in a room with a grill in the door for the return( being it has no return duct)? Also would i just install it as a seperate sytem and not even tie it into the air hander? Thanks

You are not saying at what percentage of humidity maximum that each humidifier can maintain for each size home which is the most important information needed to choose which unit is right for our application.

@fireiceheatingandaircondit4363 Жыл бұрын

Too many variables to take into consideration on how well each individual house can hold humidity.
