Whole House Humidifier

[CK-1]

I'm thinking about installing a whole house humidifier on my oil furnace. According to the furnace manual, it does accept a humidifier if I choose to install one. The wiring diagram illustrated in the manual is kinda weird because it doesn't show where the wires are coming from that connects to the humidifier. I'm thinking about getting the drum style humidifier from Lowes (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=185806-40586-DS2001C&lpage=none).


Anyone have a whole house humidifier installed on their furnace?.. Does it really work?.. Any tips on installing one?..

I do have one and it does work....but I don't run the furnace as I burn wood ;-)
The only bad thing i'll say about them is if you have hard water/a lot of minerals in your water the filter will foul easily.

I have one of the Aprilaire type (similar to the Hamilton model Lowes sells) and it works great. My family and wood floors love it.
