On a 80 year old house of about 2200 sq. ft. what would be the recemended humidifier?

This humidifier is good Up To 2200 sq ft. That's in a best case scenario. I installed this in an 1800 sq ft house, and when the temp dips to 10 degrees, it barely makes an "acceptable" 35% humidity. That's in a well insulated house with double pane windows. Humidity seeks its own level. If your older home is not, or not well insisted, and does not have double pane windows, you will lose humidity almost as fast as you can put it in the air. At the very least, the next size up is better for 2000 sq ft., and with the worst cast scenario, something made for 3-4000 sq ft. May be needed, and that's IF your furnace can accommodate it. PS, the golden zone is 40 to 50% percent humidity. Below 40, viruses thrive; above 50, and mold thrives.

You may want to go onto the manufacturer's web site for sizing, I believe the one I brought was good for 1850 s.f., you may want to take into consideration the age of the house and the insulation value you may have in. I can tell you that the Honeywell has serve me well for over the past five years, its a good trouble free unit. I know they have a good web site which will better direct you to your answer.

The input power of this Humidifier is AC 100-240V 50/60HZ. Output power is 18v /500ma.

No. However, I have some doubts about its ability to humidify 1800sf. I use it to humidify a single 400sf room. It does the job very well, but definitely does not cover the entire apartment (1100sf). For 1800sf, I'd want at least two, probably at opposite ends of the house.

Buy one of those portable water filter and filter the water that way. Then use that to pour into the humidifier tank

I don't know the life of the product but expect it to perform little differently than any typical under counter cooling appliance. There is not a built-in humidifier. it is a quite simple design; two independent zones for whites and reds.

I do not use the humidifier only the heater. works well in smaller room, Runs all day in large area. It would take forever to heat a large space with this unit. I do like it for smaller areas.

This unit is for a whole house humidifier to add humidity to the air of the interior of the house. It is not for AC use .

The controller could technically do an even larger room than that, it is all dependent on the hardware you use. You could use a larger heater, and a larger humidifier keeping in mind the devices maximum wattage. In case you are setting up a STINKY closet with a VERY bright light in it, I would suggest using a 4x4. Your results will be far beyond that of a 5x5....

The 800 is a 3 voltage humidifier, 120, 208, 240 volt. It ships wired at 240 volt. To operate at lower voltages it's necessary to change the jumpers. Not hard to do. It should have a disconnect switch for servicing, but it would be your call if you wanted to just plug it in. I used a two pole pilot lite switch

The 80 is a great fan. It pulls a lot of air very quietly, but for the difference in price I would go with 110 an error on having more CFMs with the shower.

yes, easy maintenance too! Best one on the market. I did a lot of research on humidifiers because I'm a new mom. This saves you money because it does not blow out a warm mist. The warm mist humidifiers cost more money because the water has to heat up and it has mold issues. I've been through it all.

I ended up returning it for a different model. This model was a little to noisy for me. I ended up getting the puregauardian 100hour ultrasonic humidifier. It's a little more pricey, but works better

Yes it will be big enough to humidify your room, but as we are all finding you won't be able to set the amount of water that you can on others. You can choose how strong the fan goes and you can even set that you don't want the unit running all night, just to the amount that is apparently pre-set in the unit which is about 50-55.

I found our dehumidifier really helped my allergies. It died, after eight years, and I am now ready to obtain this unit as a replacement.

While the internal humidifier will work, I recommend purchasing an electric/battery operated model. They are much less work, and I add water about once every 3 weeks. I set the humidity level I want, and it does the rest, removing the guess work.

I'm asking myself the same question. Anyone know? What are its humidification features&gt;
