Hi Barb, yes, the link you sent is for installing a HUMIDIFIER (which I actually once did, and it worked by automatically coming on whenever the furnace fan came on), not a HUMIDISTAT. The first is to add moisture to furnace-heated air (which tends to be dry); the second is what we need in TV, where it will kick on the a/c when there is TOO MUCH humidity in the interior air.

I too am handy and would prefer to do my own installation, but I wanted to get some idea how they are actually set up before deciding one way or the other. Barefoot, can you tell me how Munn's sets it up and what the installer explains about how it works and how you are to set it? Many thanks! And now I see why I had written what I did in my first post on this thread about what to leave unplugged (most everything, we were told). Have a safe trip back to Canada, and we'll see you and Rick in the fall.
