Why should you install a humidifier in your home? The answer is simple - to protect your family's health, protect your home, and save money. By having the proper humidity levels in your home, you can save up to 4% on your heating bills for each degree lower on your thermostat.

Solid mineral scale sinks to the bottom of the cylinder which, when filled with residue, is easily removed and replaced. Nortec NH humidifiers offer complete application flexibility. They can be integrated into central HVAC systems with distributors, Short Absorption Manifold (SAM-e), or placed in specific locations with their own steam distribution blower pack for individual room control. Models are available from 5 to 200 lbs/hr (2.2 to 91 kg/hr) output. Other Nortec electrode steam models are the RESDELUX for residential applications and the MES series for OEM applications with specialty air handlers.
