If installed and operating properly, I have no issue with it, other than I'm not a big fan of humidifiers installed to the HVAC.

They love to leak, and they're allowed to be there. But why anyone would want a furnace, or more humidity is beyond me!! LOL

leakage would almost always be on the outside Jeff...imo...and a properly adjusted humidifier can save a lot of heat dollars in the cold dry winter...

The water bypasses and the rotating drums humidifiers grow a lot of bad stuff in them. Now stem humidifiers are the way to go. Nice units - stainless steel. Have sold a few when I owned the HVAC company. Figure on paying double though.
