AprilAire 620 Whole-Home Bypass Humidifier in Ottawa
Dry winter air can leave your Ottawa home feeling uncomfortable, with static electricity and shrinking wood floors or furniture. The AprilAire 620 is a furnace humidifier that adds moisture through your central ductwork, helping you manage humidity throughout the home without filling portable humidifiers in separate rooms.
This bypass evaporative humidifier uses airflow from your HVAC blower to pass air through a wet water panel. Rated at 18 gallons per day, it is an option for homes with a compatible forced-air heating system and room for a bypass duct. Actual output depends on water temperature, airflow and operating conditions.
HydroCore technology and everyday maintenance
The 620’s HydroCore technology recirculates water to keep the panel saturated. AprilAire reports 55% less wastewater compared with its Model 600. Its one-piece water panel cartridge simplifies seasonal maintenance, while the reversible bypass connection gives installers more flexibility with the duct layout.
620A or 620M: choosing your humidity control
The 620A includes a Model 60 automatic humidistat, which adjusts humidity in response to outdoor conditions. The 620M includes a Model 4655 manual humidistat, allowing you to set humidity yourself. During Ottawa cold snaps, indoor humidity may need to be lowered to limit window condensation. Automatic control offers convenient adjustment; manual control suits homeowners who prefer to manage the setting themselves.
