I recently install some hardwood floors and am noticing some issues which i believe are caused by humidity.
Installing humidifier in attic.
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.
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.
But there is no effective way to circulate the air between the attic and the remainder of the house.
In my opinion the attic humidifier is not only risky but might well not be necessary.
I would like to receive a quote to install a whole home central humidifier on my existing hvac furnace system at my home.
I m not sure what the real risk of freezing is in my situation or what other hazards come with an attic installation.
Advani hopes to finish the attic and install a minisplit although he s not sure that will lower the humidity.
The average homeowner spends 543 to install a humidifier with professional services.
Most of the house is heated and cooled with a conventional gas fired furnace and air conditioning system.
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.
Any leak or malfunction in the pipes or humidifier could cause water to be released in the attic damaging.
