Installing humidifier in attic.
I would like to receive a quote to install a whole home central humidifier on my existing hvac furnace system at my home.
The furnace is within a few feet of the hot water heater yes also in the attic so supplying hot water to the humidifier won t be an issue.

The attic will of course be subject to below freezing temperatures.
