The Residential units have good ratings by users which makes it a household product to provide humidity for the home. Many steam product manufacture to be use in a whole house can’t work except connected to a furnace (HAVC) system. But with this product reviewed here, this need is eliminated. The manufacturer built it to run independently of a HAVC unit. However, the unit required installation which needs to be carried out by an expert.

Before use, it needs to be installed first. The installation requires a professional to connect it to your home water supply system where it gets its water from. One unique thing about the Apriliare device, it uses any type of water. Be it hard, soft or softened water.  In addition, the unit features a digital humidistat that auto regulate humidity level so that your house humidity is kept under optimum level.

Maintenance Level

Since it uses running water directly from the home reservoir, it discourages mold and bacteria development. This means, less cleaning which can be done once in two weeks depending on usage. However, when it comes to monetary terms, the cost of maintaining the unit is not much. It does not include parts that need to be replace frequently. The major expenses to incur is replacing of the canister which is done yearly.

Coverage Area

Although, the Aprilaire steam humidifier is design for a whole house but still have a maximum humidification area. However, it best for larger homes measuring up to 6,200 square feet.
