About this item
The AprilAire 500M Whole-House Humidifier is designed for homes up to 3,600 sq. ft. The included manual humidistat lets you control the humidity level throughout your home. While balanced humidity exists between 40–60%, it's important to remember that outdoor temperature and other home factors will impact what relative humidity level is attainable and recommended for your house. You’ll enjoy balanced humidity thanks to the evaporative process, which works by passing hot, dry air from your furnace over the interior water panel to add moisture before returning the humidified air into your home using the existing blower fan in your HVAC system. The water panel is essential to the process, ensuring the removal of impurities from the water and providing uniform, high evaporation for whole-house humidification.

Review snippets: Very pleased with this Whole-Home Humidifier I installed myself without any prior professional experience. That being said, I did spend about 5 hours researching installation techniques as the included directions are both difficult to make sense of as a layperson / The AprilAire Whole-House Humidifier has a sleek look and keeps my house comfortably humid at around 65-70% during the winter months. I have a 2,500 sq ft home, and this unit handles it effortlessly. Installation was simple and straightforward. I
