Installing humidifier in attic.

In my opinion the attic humidifier is not only risky but might well not be necessary. Depending on the model you choose the labor rate and the service time this cost could range from as low as 200 to as high as 1 000 the typical range is 396 and 719 average units cost about 100 to 300 while higher end options cost 500 to 1 100 labor by hvac technicians is expected to add 100 to. Any leak or malfunction in the pipes or humidifier could cause water to be released in the attic damaging. But there is no effective way to circulate the air between the attic and the remainder of the house.

The furnace is within a few feet of the hot water heater yes also in the attic so supplying hot water to the humidifier won t be an issue. The average homeowner spends 543 to install a humidifier with professional services. I would like to receive a quote to install a whole home central humidifier on my existing hvac furnace system at my home. I recently install some hardwood floors and am noticing some issues which i believe are caused by humidity.

I have contacted several hvac companies and all have refused to install in the attic for fear of it freezing then leaking through the ceiling. I m not sure what the real risk of freezing is in my situation or what other hazards come with an attic installation. I live in charlotte north carolina where the practice of putting the heater in the attic is relatively common many of the big builders do this to save square footage since we don t have a basement.
