- JMJane M.Verified BuyerReviewingGeneral Aire 1042-LH Bypass Evaporative Humidifier For Up To 2,800 Sq. Ft.I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars16 hours agoEasy installation
I’m happy Generalaire makes this same model as the humidifier that was installed in my furnace over 25 years ago. Installation was super easy because I was able to just remove the old one and put in the new one in the same spot. All the holes lined up exactly. I did have a little trouble understanding the wiring for the humidistat. The schematics didn’t make sense to me. Fortunately I was able to find a how-to video on You Tube. I’m very happy with my purchase.
