We have a central forced-air gas furnace in our house. It get real dry at winter time. I have some portable humidifiers in the bedrooms, but am now interested in getting a humidifier. I saw a few models here:
- Do they work well?
- Any pros/cons of power fan vs. bypass type? It looks like the bypass type requires more ductwork/installation.
- What sort of regular maintenance is needed?
- Can a reasonably skilled homeowner attempt to install this?
- Since my furnace is in the attic, there is no direct water supply. I was going to run a line from a tap off of out toilet intake in the master bath, because I can up the wall in a closet, and up to the attic. Any possible problems doing this? Also, I assume some sort of drain line is required. I was going to tap into the A/C exhaust/drip pipe. It this a problem?
Thanks for any responses! Leor
