Humidifier
Due to the effect humidifiers can have on the home, Classic Homes does not install humidifiers in the homes we build. Since Classic does not install humidifiers, any humidifier installed in the home is installed at the discretion of the Homeowner and must be installed after the original closing date for the home.
Classic is not responsible for damages, including condensation or mold growth, that are associated with improper installation or usage of a humidifier.
Operating a Humidifier
If a humidifier is installed in line with the furnace in your home after closing, operate the humidifier only during the winter months when the furnace is operational. Do not operate the humidifier during the summer months when you are operating the air conditioner.
Before operating the humidifier, please review the manufacturer's operating instructions. These documents will cover the operation of the humidifier as well as maintenance recommendations.
Humidity Settings
In the manufacturer's operating instructions, there will be suggestions for where to set the humidity settings for the humidifier. It is important to remember that these are suggestions and that you will need to adjust the humidifier to the exterior weather conditions.
As an example, when we experience extreme cold combined with snow, you will need to lower the humidity setting lower than the manufacturer recommendations. When we have extreme cold combined with snow, turn the humidifier to its lowest setting or turn it off. Failure to lower the humidity settings during these conditions could result in condensation forming within the home.
