I live in charlotte north carolina where the practice of putting the heater in the attic is relatively common many of the big builders do this to save square footage since we don t have a basement.
Installing humidifier in attic.
The average homeowner spends 543 to install a humidifier with professional services.
In my opinion the attic humidifier is not only risky but might well not be necessary.
Most of the house is heated and cooled with a conventional gas fired furnace and air conditioning system.
But there is no effective way to circulate the air between the attic and the remainder of the house.
I would like to receive a quote to install a whole home central humidifier on my existing hvac furnace system at my home.
I recently install some hardwood floors and am noticing some issues which i believe are caused by humidity.
I m not sure what the real risk of freezing is in my situation or what other hazards come with an attic installation.
Any leak or malfunction in the pipes or humidifier could cause water to be released in the attic damaging.
The attic will of course be subject to below freezing temperatures.
I have contacted several hvac companies and all have refused to install in the attic for fear of it freezing then leaking through the ceiling.
Depending on the model you choose the labor rate and the service time this cost could range from as low as 200 to as high as 1 000 the typical range is 396 and 719 average units cost about 100 to 300 while higher end options cost 500 to 1 100 labor by hvac technicians is expected to add 100 to.
