My furnace is 17.5 yrs old, a 92.4% efficient Lenox furnace. I need to replace the 35 yr old humidifier. Will the Aprilaire 600 work on this furnace

Yes...no reason it wouldn't. There are more than one 600 model. If you are in a colder climate I would recommend the 600 A model. This model can activate the furnace blower fan (without the heat coming on) whenever the humidity dips below your selected level and it does so even if the furnace isn't calling for heat. There is a sensor that is wired through an exterior wall so that the humidifier gives the the proper amount of humidity relative to the outside temperature. It's great to be able to keep the humidity high enough so that hardwood floors don't dry out and separate and it's better for furniture and for health too, without going too high so that your windows end up all frosted up

Should. Depending on the brand you are taking out, some of the work may be done for you.

If you use the schematic listed for "Automatic" operation (i.e. intercept the "G" wire between the thermostat and the furnace, putting the new humidistat in between) then this unit will be able to use the furnace blower without firing the furnace. Tapping into the hot water supply (instead of cold) is recommended if you use this feature. My 700 is installed this way and works very well in this configuration.

We had a Honeywell in our previous older house and loved it. I looked online but it doesn't look like they offer that model anymore. The Honeywell we had was purchased and installed in 1995. We have built a new home and installed the Aprilair, because the reviews were great. We don't think the Aprilair filters as well as the old Honeywell we had. I'm not much help, sorry. I will say if you get one that works as well as the old Honeywell we had my answer would be, "Yes, it's worth it!"

No my packaging lists a number of aprilaire models it will work for but model 600 is NOT one of them.

Yes it will with minor rewiring. Take one wire common from furnace straight to solenoid. Other furn wire to humidistat. Second solenoid wire to stat. And it should work fine. Think of the stat as nothi g more than a light switch. Hope that helps.

thats one of the things i was upset about it advertised having the humidifier but there is not one basically its just a heater and really didn't do a very good job at heating my march electric bill was 777.27 when it normally runs around 160.00 so it pulls a lot of wattage i bought a lasko heater from walmart for 70.00 does a much better job hope this helps

Be sure to check your humidistat setting & remember the unit operates automatically beyond a +/- 5% variance from that setting. Also be sure to check tank fill level that isn't getting tripped somehow. If these two tips don't help I'd contact PerfectAire customer service.

It comes with a humidistat. I leave the furnace fan on all the time anyway but the humidistat is supposed to kick it on when it is on. I recommend installing it with 220 as it will make the unit more efficient. Other than that, I can't be happier. I live in Colorado and the humidity can drop under 20% in the winter. This unit keeps it above 45%.

I believe the #60 will work with any 24 volt system. It requires a constant 24 volts to operate, so if there is no constant supply available, you will need to get a 24V transformer (which is what I did--it made things simpler). I suggest looking for the wiring diagrams for your current humidistat and the #60 and see if you can match the wiring between the two, which is what I did. In my case, it was a bit simpler since I was replacing an older Aprilaire unit.

The only difference between a 600M and a 600A is the type of humidistat included. If you are going to be hooking this humidifier up to a Honeywell IAQ, Ecobee EB-STAT-02, Lennox iComfort, or any similar thermostat that can control humidity then you are better off purchasing the 600M because you won't be using the included humidistat anyway and the Manual Control (referring to the humidistat) is typically cheaper.

The Satechi ones DO NOT WORk! I thought they might and they are too thin and have a hard plastic case. I found a web site for the humidifier and will be emailing them to see if they have replacements. The product comes with 2 filters and us und distilled water I haven't had to replace yet.

I would suspect that yes, you need to replace your humidistat. I have an Aprilaire humidifier and my digital humidistat went bad. Since my humidifier was aging, I replaced it also. I went back to the "manual" humidistat since it's simple and no electronics to go bad. The only thing the digital humidistat buys you is an outdoor temperature sensor (thermocouple) that automatically adjusts the setting based on the outdoor temperature ...sounds good but not that big of a deal. I set my manual humidistat a couple times ...when I expect the temperature to routinely get below 20 deg and then when I expect it to be above 20 deg. Never had a problem with that. Good luck!

You have a boiler (works with water). This humidifier is for Furnace (works with Hot Air). You don't need this Aprilaire Humidifier on a hot water system...Bagman

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Not to mention the condensation that may collect on the blower components as well. I understand your situation as I have installed many down flow furnaces. I suggest that you purchase the Aprilaire 850 Steam Humidifier Fan Pack and have the 800 run stand alone. Good luck.

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.
