can i install this unit on a down blower furnace

Possible, it would depend on how much access you (room) have below the floor line of the current installation,or you could install it on the return duct work which would be be at the top of the heater. if you do it this way and have central AC be sure to shut all water connections to the humidifier before you use the AC, or you will cause ice to build up on the AC coil, not a good thing. I suggest you contact a professional for final installation, as I can not and have not seen how your heater is installed, good luck:

I have installed this on a down flow furnace and it works fine. There are many other considerations as to whether this will work for your application. Space on the hot and cold air duct work, water source, electrical supply, etc. If you are unsure, find a professional for the installation.

Yes you can. I use this but I also purchased the separate relay. This tells my furnace when the fan kicks on so it calls for the water.

We would need the numbers off of the motor to try and identify this blower. We can't reference by furnace model numbers as we are not a furnace dealer.

Look online under "Furnace Parts", find one which asks for model # and type it in. Some parts have more than one number but you should be able to find if OK for your furnace. Otherwise ask the folks at the furnace parts online store or by phone. Furnace repair coming to our home said they would install if we had our own part and it saves $80+ dollars ( if you cannot do yourself). Hope this helps. Good luck to you!

If you use the schematic listed for "Automatic" operation (i.e. intercept the "G" wire between the thermostat and the furnace, putting the new humidistat in between) then this unit will be able to use the furnace blower without firing the furnace. Tapping into the hot water supply (instead of cold) is recommended if you use this feature. My 700 is installed this way and works very well in this configuration.

No automatic thermostat works on this unit, it is not designed for that.I do not have the blower unit, I cannot give an answer. The stove works great with dial control (always kept low) sufficient.

I can't answer your question - the blower unit didn't work upon receipt so I sent the entire thing back. Sorry

Yes! We ordered the recommended blower kit and added it with no problem. It is a very good heater except that we have trouble with it going out sometime.

Yes this can be wired into off- on switch at furnace. This is how I have mine hooked up.The instructions have this hook up, read very carefully its there.

Honestly haven't installed mine yet but there are several videos on YouTube and a professional told me it is easy enough for a non-professional. You should be able to work out the installation visually but hooking it into your furnace electrically is another issue. I believe most furnaces provide some auxiliary terminal on the control board for that.

I would read all the reviews to decide whether or not to do-it-yourself. The scope of the installation will vary depending on how your furnace is equipped. At a minimum, you will have to cut accurate holes in ductwork, read electrical scematics/diagrams, do electrical and plumbing work. Ideally, you will need to be in close proximity to water supply, drain and electrical outlet. If you are unsure, you should probably hire it out.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Not to mention the condensation that may collect on the blower components as well. I understand your situation as I have installed many down flow furnaces. I suggest that you purchase the Aprilaire 850 Steam Humidifier Fan Pack and have the 800 run stand alone. Good luck.

I feel like it is easy to install, but I worked in HVAC for years and have installed hundreds. Wiring depends on the age of your furnace as most in the last decade or so have integrated wiring in their control panels. If not it is considerably more difficult. If you have some reasonable electrical and ducting skills it's reasonably easy, if in doubt hire a professional. Good luck.

You don't need two units. We have three furnaces and installed on the most central. The moisture spreads through the house.

Yes it is. It has to be calibrated (instruction s includede) and will operate 2 AC and 2 furnace s. If you have 5 button unit already you can use this. If you have more or less buttons you don't want this. If your looking at new install you don't want it either.

My furnace installer who has experience with these units says either will work, but the return air is preferred for greater efficiency since the manual unit (mine) only starts when the blower motor turns on. I also found I had to set the humidity control at a higher rate than the manual specified to create more humidification because of the previous statement.

I don't really know if it will work. In my case it needs a corresponding part wired directly into the furnace
