Aprilaire Model 800 Whole House Steam Humidifier
Description
Description
Want to humidify your whole home, but need a more specialized system than a traditional in-duct evaporative humidifier? The Aprilaire Model 800 Steam Humidifier might be the perfect choice for you. This canister steam humidifier is ideal for whole house applications where evaporative humidifiers are less practical. Working independently of your HVAC system, this system delivers optimum levels of humidity throughout all the rooms of your home, distributing up to 23.3 gallons of humidity per day. That’s enough to cover as much as 6,200 square feet.
Model 800 vs. Model 865
This Model 800 steam humidifier is most ideal for:
- Homes where crawl space and attic installation is most practical.
- Homes located in areas of the country that experience milder winters.
Consider the Aprilaire Model 865 Ductless Steam Humidifier Fan Package if you have a home with non-forced air heating systems.
- The Fan Pack marries with the Aprilaire Steam Humidifier to provide comfortable humidity levels to homes without duct work.
- Its quiet operation makes the Fan Pack practically unnoticeable and is designed to blend into a home's environment.
- Easy to install, it can be recessed into a wall and connects directly to the steam humidifier.
How It Works
The system is installed to run independently of your HVAC system, delivering steam humidity to the rooms of your home using your existing ductwork. It generates steam by energizing 2 electrodes that extend into the canister’s water reservoir. The current flowing between these 2 electrodes causes the water to boil, creating steam.
Steam humidity then flows through a steam hose and is injected into the moving air stream through a distribution tube. Humidified air then travels evenly through your air ducts and into the rooms of your home. The Model 800’s total humidifying capacity depends on the electrical draw you’ve chosen. At 110 volts, the system delivers 11.5 gallons of moisture per day. At 208 volts, it releases 20.5 gallons of humidity per day. At 240 volts, the system delivers 23.3 gallons per day.
Additional Benefits and Features
- Operates Automatically or Manually - Use the included automatic digital humidifier controller to control the unit automatically or manually.
- Regular Drain Cycle - After operating for 168 hours, the system automatically drains the canister for freshness until the next trigger for operation.
- Quiet and Easy To Maintain - The system performs quietly and requires only a periodic replacement of the canister for maintenance.
- Protects Your Interior - Optimally humidified air helps protect your wood floors, furnishings, and your home’s infrastructure from damage due to low humidity.
- Relieves Dry Air Symptoms - Properly humidified air also reduces respiratory irritation triggered by low humidity and helps alleviate itchy dry skin.
- May Reduce Energy Costs - Maintaining healthy humidified air during the colder months can actually help you feel warmer, leading to reduced heating costs.
Product Warranty Note: Professional installation is required. The Aprilaire parts warranty will be void if not installed by a licensed contractor.
Summary
Enjoy healthy humidified air and less installation headaches when you use the Aprilaire Model 800 Steam Humidifier.

This is a whole house humidifier that only works when the heat exchanger is running, but that's exactly what I needed it for. Winters are so very dry here with no humidity.
- PEProfessional e. h. h.ReviewingAprilaire Model 800 Whole House Steam HumidifierI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars8 years agoHow did we live without this?
The installation instructions that come with this unit are thorough and clear. Some knowledge of electrical is required. Read the product dimensions, especially the steam diffuser to see if you have the space for this unit to operate properly. Installation took an entire day. We went from 16% (painfully dry) humidity to 40% in one day. The comfort level in the house has gone up noticeably.
