AprilAire Model 500 Whole-Home Humidifier

$363.30

The Minnesota-winter no-brainer. A whole-home humidifier tied into your furnace ductwork maintains 35-45% humidity through dry winter months — no more nosebleeds, cracking wood floors, static shocks, or dried-out sinuses.

What it does

Bypass-style evaporative humidifier designed for homes up to 3,000 sqft. Installs on the return or supply duct of your forced-air furnace. When the furnace runs, warm dry air passes through a moistened water panel and returns to the home at 35-45% humidity.

Why you'll want it

Eliminates dry-winter health symptoms: nosebleeds, cracked lips, static shocks, dry eyes

Protects wood floors, furniture, and musical instruments from winter shrinkage cracking

Reduces heating bills — humid air at 68°F feels as warm as dry air at 72°F

Automatic model (500) adjusts humidity based on outdoor temperature

Designed and manufactured in USA by AprilAire (inventor of whole-home humidifiers)
