You will Ned to have enough room to access the inflow plenum, but yes, you can make it work.

I doubt you can use this humidifier on your furnace. You need to get access to both the heat side and the return air side of the furnace. With a down draft furnace your heat ducts are all under the floor, so you do not have access to the heat side. I suggest you get a stand alone humidifier that does not connect to the furnace. I also suggest you find one that has a water line connection, because the ones with tanks you will have to fill at least once a day if not more often

i have the same unit in my 1000 square foot grarage it works great heats the shop up to 60 f on the 1 heat setting 70f on the 2 setting the blower works automatic. great product you would have to keep all the doors open on the rooms but no problem heating that size area.

I installed mine on the supply above the furnace. The Aprilaire is on the return.

if you are talking the central AC - not a good idea for a 5500 running watts gennie. If it doesn't trip the breaker on the generator in the first place (which is what happens when you exceed the wattage), it's going to suck the gas tank dry in no time. A smallish window unit you may be able to use in a backup capacity. (If the generator is working through a transfer switch, may be it's prudent to make sure the portable AC is not plugged into the same circuit as the other essential appliances, again, not to overload a single circuit)

Yes!!! Just follow your furnace manual installation and should not have any problems. My furnace turns ON like if I just bought it!!! Good purchase!!!

I am a handy homeowner and just installed one- but beware if you fry parts in a surge etc. like I did aprilair won't warrenty the parts. Plenty big for 2500 sq ft if it's wired to a two stage heater

No, it will fit on the furnace but the control box and wiring is all different. I hated the unit, it is way overkill on the controls and the wiring is very complicated. It wants to be able to turn the furnace fan on if the humidity is low even if the temperature in the house is OK. It caused me lots of problems. Also you need to be able to run a temperature probe to the outside so that it can automatically adjust humidity level.

Follow manufacturer's directions. I live in a 1600 SF, 2 bedroom, 2 bath house. I bought three units because they were offering a package deal (otherwise I would have purchased only one for the master BR), and put one in master BR, one in second BR, and one in living area. Putting one where you sleep is most critical, especially if you have gas heat (we do).

No. I so not think you can. Some of the mechanics are but into the actual unit. I can tell you that it works great and kicks out a lot of heat. I have a 800 sq foot living room, it heats every inch of it.

This model dimplex at 2000 watts will give you 6824 btus. You ca. Heat a small bedroom 60sqft with 8ft ceilings with no problem. The insulation and the windows will effect this greatly if you have drafts.

Im sorry but I don't recall and moved since installation. I would call Aprilaire-I do recommend the unit. Easy install and worked well.

If you Google "Aprilaire 600 you will has access to the manual and installation instructions. There are also installation videos on UTube within the listing on Google. Hope that helps. The Aprilaire 600 works for me.

That depends on the size of the house.. Best bet have a generac dealer come out and do a walk through.

Yes, this will run a standard gas or oil furnace with no problem - it has more than enough punch. It will NOT run an ELECTRIC FURNACE, those are almost always 240 volt, and use a LOT of electricity. This is a 120 volt generator. It also won't run your Clothes Dryer, Electric Oven, or Electric Hot Water Heater or Central Air Conditioner. But it WILL run a rather good sized 120 volt window Air Conditioner and even a microwave oven at the same time, it works great for powering up and cooling down my 5th Wheel RV Trailer. If you are going to buy it to keep your oil or gas furnace going during a winter power loss, you need to plan TODAY for how you are going to connect it to your furnace. Easiest way it to "un hardwire" your furnace, and just have it on a cord that goes into a regular 120 volt plug. When the power goes out, just run an extension cord OUTSIDE to the generator, fire it up, plug in the furnace into the extension cord and you're good to go. (Absolutely do NOT run the generator inside of ANY structure. Not in a lawn building, not out in the garage, not in the barn. Even if you just run in there "for a minute" to refill the gas tank after it has run out of fuel, the Carbon Monoxide levels will be high enough to kill ya dead in no time flat. RUN THE GENERATOR ONLY IN THE OUT OF DOORS!!!) As far as the difference in the model numbers, I can see nothing in the specifications other than slightly different dimensions and a much different gas-tank style. I am very happy with my purchase of this model, and it seems to have a much better price.

No too small get a 6in fan and filter you need Atleast 400cfm for that square footage

No, the fan motor is 120VAC and the humidifier controller and water valve are 24VAC. You will damage them. Without knowing exactly what you have it is hard to tell you how to hook this up. The 500 control box has terminals that will match your home thermostat terminals and your furnace terminals. Terminal R-is red wire, Terminal W is a white wire. Terminal G is a green wire. And terminal Y is a yellow wire. Match the terminals from your thermostat or furnace with your Aprilaire controller. the wire can be purchased on line or from your local building supply like Home Depot. Both the Aprilaire humidifier and the controller come with wiring instructions. However if you have a late model high efficiency furnace it will have a humidity terminal marked HUM. If this is the case connect the Aprilaire controller G terminal to the humidity terminal. No other wires should be on the Aprilaire controller G terminal or the HUM terminal of the furnace. If you connect it incorrectly you do run the risk of damaging the controller, your furnace or both. I have 30 years experience in control circuits that helped me hook this up. Better to ask a professional for help if you have any confusion. Followup after I looked at my furnace connections. I made one mistake for the HUM terminal on high efficiency furnaces. You need to connect W terminal of humidity controller to HUM of furnace not G. FYI on furnace connections R is power out to thermostat and controller Y is demand for cooling input to furnace W is demand for heat input to furnace G is run fan with no demand or heat or cooling input to furnace C is return for power and is required for humidity controller to provide power return path. It is also used on high end thermostats that require power. Normal thermostat wire is 4 conductor for newer thermostats you may need the C connection. Home Depot has 5 conductor wire.

NO, but we sell a Breckwell Multifuel Furnace that will. It is listed by us in our listings over AMAZON. -- Richard, Stove Warehouse America, cornstove7@aol.com, 319-298-0500.
