OPERATING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

HE360A

Your HE360A Humidifier is controlled by the H8908 Humidistat. The humidistat is installed either on an interior wall in the living area, or on the return air duct. Choose the humidity control setting using the combination relative humidity/outdoor temperature setting scale on your humidity control dial. Match the dial setting to the outdoor temperature for optimizing the humidity level while reducing the moisture condensation on your windows. The table below can also be used to adjust the humidity control to the recommended setting.

HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Your humidifier uses the principle that vapor (evaporated water) is created when warm air blows over a water-soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative humidity rises.

Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier accordingly. The humidifier has a water supply that dispenses water evenly over a humidifier pad. The warm dry air, from the furnace, passes over the humidifier pad and picks up the moist air to circulate it throughout your home.

Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you may be able to lower your thermostat heating setpoint, which saves money on your heating fuel bills. The end result is that your humidifier gives you a comfortable environment that is also energy efficient.

HE360A specifications

The Honeywell HE360A is a powerful and efficient whole home humidifier designed to optimize indoor air quality by adding moisture to dry air. This essential home appliance is particularly beneficial in climates where humidity levels drop significantly during the winter months, promoting comfort and health in living spaces.

One of the main features of the Honeywell HE360A is its ability to serve as a bypass humidifier, which connects directly to a home's heating and air conditioning system. This integration allows it to use the existing airflow to distribute moisture evenly throughout the home, improving overall humidity levels without the need for a separate fan. The HE360A is designed for homes of up to 4,200 square feet, making it suitable for large living areas while also maintaining energy efficiency.

The HE360A employs advanced technology that includes an automatic humidity control system. This feature monitors the humidity levels in the home and adjusts the humidifier's output accordingly, ensuring optimal comfort while preventing over-humidification. The unit also includes a built-in water panel, which acts as a filter, collecting minerals and impurities from the water before they can be released into the air. This prolongs the life of the unit and keeps the air clean and healthy.

Durability and maintenance are also key characteristics of the Honeywell HE360A. The unit is constructed with high-quality materials designed to withstand the test of time. Additionally, maintenance is straightforward, with a removable water panel for easy cleaning and replacement. The unit typically requires minimal user intervention, allowing homeowners to enjoy the benefits of improved humidity without constant oversight.

Another important aspect of the HE360A is its energy efficiency. Since it operates using the warmth generated by the home’s heating system, it can add humidity without significantly increasing energy consumption. This feature not only benefits homeowners by reducing utility bills, but it also contributes positively to the environment by minimizing energy use.

In summary, the Honeywell HE360A whole home humidifier combines practicality, efficiency, and advanced technology to enhance indoor air quality. With features like automatic humidity control, a durable build, and easy maintenance, it stands as a reliable choice for homeowners seeking to combat dry air and enhance comfort throughout their living spaces.
