APRILAIRE
FURNACE HUMIDIFIERS FOR DENVER, COLORADO.
Best humidifier? A humidifier will get rid
of static electricity which causes shocks when you walk on your
carpeting and then touch anything metal. It will also help cut down on
sinus problems and sickness due to allergies depending on which type of
unit you purchase. An added benefit is they can actually lower your
heating bill since by putting moisture in the air will make you feel
more comfortable at a lower thermostat setting! And then there is the
fact that your furniture will like the added moisture. Homes today being
tightly constructed never get enough air from outdoors ( called
infiltration ) are literally as dry as the desert during the winter.
This is because the same air is heated over and over again without
adding any fresh outdoor air. As a note to the question we are often
asked - no we don't recommend putting any humidifier in an attic or 2nd
floor installation due to the possibility of a water leak and damage to
the home. If your home is big enough to require more than one humidifier
we can usually install multiple units on the basement furnace.
There are ( 4 ) basic types of humidifiers. They are
mounted on the return or supply plenum and some require ductwork to be
run from the humidifier to the other plenum, (these are called by-pass
humidifiers) others have no duct work to install. There are also powered
humidifiers that have a small fan enclosed within the humidifier that
don't require any ductwork ( These units require 120 volts available to
them ) and don't work as well as by pass type in our opinion.
Spray Nozzle Type:
These are the cheapest type when purchased. They consist of a small box
which is mounted on your ductwork and incorporates a spray nozzle which
is inside your ductwork. There is no added ductwork to install but they
don't put out as much humidity as the larger units. If you are looking
for the cheapest humidifier or the easiest for you to install yourself,
these are your best bet. We will install these humidifiers if
that's what is desired but don't recommend them.
Drum Type:
These units have a foam pad on a drum turning in a pan of water which is
kept full by means of a float. The foam pad and pan need to be cleaned
with Clorox bleach several times during the heating season. Most clients
that have this type complain to us about the excessive maintenance
required or the resulting nasty algae or mineral deposits. They are more
expensive than the spray type but cheaper than the next one we will
discuss.
Evaporative Pad Type:
These humidifiers have a vertically mounted evaporative pad with a water
solenoid mounted above the pad. When there is a call for more
humidity from the duct mounted humidistat control, a stream of water
runs down the pad, and as the water evaporates, humidity is added to the
building. At the bottom of the unit there is a drain line which is
connected to a floor drain or a condensate pump. The drain can be simply
a 5/8" I.D. poly tube or a drain constructed of 3/4" P.V.C. We
always use the P.V.C. method as it looks more professional and it is far
less likely to cause a water leak due to a kink in the poly tubing. This
draining with each cycle keeps the pad from getting nasty to begin with.
They are suitable for about a 2,500 square foot area, although the
manufacturer claims are for up to 4,000 square feet. These are the
units we prefer to install. The pad should be changed yearly
according to the manufacturer. We have seen units with pads several
years old that still look good however. This being the only maintenance
needed. Of course it is a good idea to check to see your unit is working
and no water leaks have developed over the summer months before using it
in the winter months.
Steam Type:
These units are very expensive and are usually only installed in
very large buildings! We can install these units if necessary. People
with pianos sometimes request these units which cost over $ 1,000.00.
An Aprilaire 600 Humidifier pictured below. Note: the
drain line at the bottom of the humidifier - which we have run in
3/4" P.V.C. we could have used a 5/8" poly tubing but it looks
unprofessional and using poly tubing leads to kinks and leaks! We use
copper tubing to connect to the house water lines. Most of our
competitors use the plastic tubing that comes with the humidifier. We
use copper because it lasts MUCH longer! These extras are why our
installation costs may be somewhat higher than our competitors, but you
get what you pay for! Also notice the 6" elbows and related 6"
duct work that needs to be run from the humidifier to the supply air
trunk. This duct work will require sheet metal cutting tools.

The Aprilaire Automatic Humidifier Model 600 is the newest
addition to the line. It takes humidifier innovation to the next
level and performs as good as it looks! It offers all of the
performance benefits of our other technologically-advanced
computer-equipped automatic humidifiers and it’s easier than
ever to have installed because it includes a built-in bypass
damper, which means fewer parts to install. Plus, the damper is
conveniently labeled for summer and winter settings, allowing you
to set it for the entire season with no guesswork involved. Just
set it and let your humidifier run automatically and it will
deliver up to 50% more humidity, compared to other competitive
units on the market. It also can be installed in manual mode if
needed. The Model 600 has an evaporative capacity of 0.70 gallons
per hour and is ideal for a home with up to 4,000 square feet if
it’s tightly constructed. We believe it’s the best performing
bypass humidifier on the market!
