Can this be installed remotely? Heating unit it is in the attic and would like to mount in the laundry room just below the heating unit.

It doesn't need to be next to the furnace. The consideration is the access to the furnace heat discharge duct. The steam hose is six feet, but instructions tell how to connect up to pipe. The longer the discharge run, the less efficient the steam. One can easily find the installation Manuel for the unit online; just Google it.

I don't think that this will work since it generates steam and I am thinking that you will be drawing the steam through the unit before it gets distributed throughout the house. I recommend that you contact Aprilaire directly with the specifics and they should be able to help you.

I'm not an HVAC Tech., having said that, everything is possible, however, you need to be maximum of 6 foot from the duct. I think your setup is going to be complicated, so don't complicate it by installing by the heating unit. You can always place the portable humidifiers around the house.

That is exactly what I did. BUT, it must be mounted in a dry, well-ventilated location. I would NOT recommend mounting it under the hood or anywhere where it could be exposed to water or humidity. I mounted mine on the inside wall behind the cabin. Keep in mind also that if the walls sweat, be careful that any power cables or wires attached to it do not allow a path for water droplets to travel down the wire to the unit. I once had a single drop of water ride down a power cable and drop into the vents. There was some crackling sounds and the inverter wouldn't drive anything like fans for about a day until it dried out. It's a tough little inverter that has forgiven me for a ton of stupid stuff, but I wouldn't recommend pushing your luck. Great little inverter. Won't drive a microwave oven since it's a modified sine unit, but it works great for my laptop, lights, TV, Xbox, refrigerator, alarm clock, coffee maker, coffee cup warmer, iPhone charger, power drill, fans...

There are no provisions in the package for doing that first of all. Second, most outlets are closer to the floor than they are the ceiling which is where you would want to mount his ideally.

Not at all - just place it over the existing thermostat and mount it directly to the wall.

Yes, you may hang the base station on a wall or side of a cabinet.The remote unit(s) are best placed on a flat surface.

I think you could. But I would be very careful when you turn the heater on. You have to push the button a little hard which could make it unstable. Maybe you could use the remote control feature only.

One thing to note is that you can install equipment interface next to or near the thermostat - it does not need to go to the basement (distance between equipment and unit is limited to 39 meters IIRC however).

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

The Owners Manual specifically says that the on-board thermostat can be bypassed and can work with a wall mounted thermostat. Very easy to do. This ability is important as the heating unit must be installed not less than 6 feet from the floor, which would make the built in thermostat difficult for most people to reach. Adding a wall mounted thermostat is very convenient.

We have it mounted from the wall. If you have a connection in the ceiling it can work. You have to ask your plumber or installer

Yes. As Stephanie said, the sensor can easily be mounted where it would be visible to the remote. My unit is mounted in the central console - deep inside the console. The sensor is mounted on the side of the console near the floorboard and is almost invisible. Works great.

The unit can be wired and set in place from the floor but you will not be able to position the exhaust duct without attic access.

You can install it with a ceiling above it. I have found it works really well in comparison to other fan models. It can even be done with no damage to the drywall. The unit is built to come apart. The silver side comes off so you can make all your connections first. Then push it up in the ceiling, take the black box and push that in the hole, screw it in place, snap the silver peice back on, put the trim kit on, and you have successfully put a fan in without the attic or damaging the drywall.

I think it can be mounted on the floor but obviously the back side must be blowing air outside the RV. If the entire unit is inside then it will not work.

mine is for hot water in a cabin. I will mount it on an external wall with a small roof over it with the exhaust pipe coming out the roof.piping will enter the cabin from below through the outside cabin wall. I suppose you could do the same thing with a shed but I wouldtry to keep the heater as close to where you will use it as you can. Don't forget about protecting it from freezing in the winter.

Our handyman mounted it on the surface but attached it to wires inside the wall, as you would wire in a light switch. It's a great little heater.

YES, you can. I accidentally ordered two but only needed one for the front door (back door is fenced in). It has one remote unit upstairs near living area and second in the bathroom so if I'm in the shower I will know someone is at door.
