Excellent Product
By Gene Friedman
I bought the Generalaire unit over Honeywell or Aprilaire since it comes with the best humidistat by far. The E2 humidistat has an outdoor temp monitor so it can calculate the dew point as the weather changes. This is very important if you live in the northern part of the country where temps change daily. The instructions are reasonably good. If there is anything you don't understand or need their customer service line is top-notch. I called twice and had my questions answered right away.The installation is fairly easy. They say you can use hot or cold water but I recommend to only use hot water as this will give much better evaporation and won't cool down the hot air which forces your furnace to fire longer.Two issues I had with it. One was that the collar on the outlet of the solenoid was not tightened at all. This allowed water to leak until I tightened it up myself - but this should have been done at the factory. Other issue is that the fan is somewhat loud when it is running. Not terribly noisy but I can definately hear that the unit is on even from a distance. But other brands might be just as loud - I don't know.This unit has alot of advantages like a 10 year warrranty so I heartily can recommend it.

Well made and works well
By Tommy Mac
I installed this humidifier after my HVAC system had to be replaced due to Sandy.I have a down flow system so I installed the humidifier in the AC coil section of the furnace. I installed the humidistat in the return duct to minimize the wiring to the humidifier.It is connected through a relay on the furnace control board so it only runs when it's called to. I ran a hot water line to the humidifier for better vaporization. My furnace is in the garage next to my hot water heater so this also simplified things. The thermocouple wire for the humidistat was run through a drilled hole in a door frame to reach outside.The hardest part (which was easy) was cutting the opening for the humidifier in the furnace panel. I used a jigsaw with a sheet metal blade. The provided template made this very easy to lay out and cut.I have a separate inside humidity/dew point meter on a Ambient Weather weather station display inside the house. The humidity increased as it should, when it should. The product seems to work great, keeping the interior quite comfortable on dry days in the winter. Can't beat a 10 year warranty either
