I have a humidifier with a rotating cage and float switch for water supply. 25 year old lennox. Nothing labeled. Can I use the white and red wire coming from house thermostat to control humidifier cage motor
how is humidifier wired into the furnace? If its wired to the HUM. post then it will only be powered when the furnace is heating.Hello paul52446m - My humidifier cannot give me humidity over 26%. Pls help. Detail:
I newly installed a Lennox furnace and a Honeywell HE225 Flow-Thru Humidifier. I have the furnace FAN switch to ON all the time. My house humidity is as low as 26% only, can never exceed this. I need at least 35% for my skin problem. Problem I found is:
Water only supplies to the humidifier to make wet air is when the furnace is heating. Once the the furnace stopped heating (the FAN is still ON), water to the humidifier also stopped. I tried to turn the Humidistat, it "click" at around 25; but even I turn it to 40 and higher %, still on water supply to the humidifier. Therefore, my house humidity it very low.
What is the problem that cause this? How to overcome the water supplies problem, so that even the furnace is not heating, water still can supply to the humidifier to make air wet?
Thank you.
I have my humidifier wired to the HUM terminals and am also having trouble getting the humidity level in the house where I want it. Going to try moving it to the EAC terminals so the cage will spin whenever the fan is on (not just when the furnace is running) and then set the fan switch on the thermostat to "ON" for a couple of days and see it that helps.
