Is $944 to install an AprilAire 720 whole home humidifier a fair price?
Project Details
My home is about 3 years old, 4000 square feet across 3 floors, and has a single-stage HVAC system. I'm experiencing low humidity, around 37% when it's 54 degrees outside, even before winter fully sets in. There's also about a 6-degree temperature difference between the top floor and the basement. The house has LVP and carpet, 9-foot ceilings, and a return on each floor. I'm trying to determine if the AprilAire 720 will be sufficient to maintain relative humidity throughout the winter. I'm also concerned about the power consumption of the AprilAire 800; if it runs for 16 hours a day, my electric bill could increase by an additional $200 in the winter, which might make it unaffordable. I wish the builder had installed a zoned system or another HVAC unit.
