Looking at installing a whole house humidifier. I have a carrier furance model 58sta1stx.

what is the best type of humidifier to get? My house is 3,000 square feet.

What is ment by the term by-pass humidifer?

How much of a job is it to install one your self and what tools are required?

A humidifier is a good DIY job. By bypass they mean the humidifier is put on th cold air drop or duct and a small pipe is run over to the heat duct or plenum from it. This lets warm airpass over the water



This is a good unit to use. go to the 707U

I'm in the same boat... 58STA/STX w/ approx 2500 sqft. I was looking at the Carrier HUMCCLFP (http://www.residential.carrier.com/products/airquality/humidifiers/fan.shtml) only because I'm OCD like that.

Any thoughts?
