HE105, HE205
Whole Home Bypass Humidifier
APPLICATION
This kit contains your new Honeywell HE105 or HE205
Humidifier, H8908 Humidistat and all the accessories
required for installation.
How Your Humidifier Works
Your Honeywell humidifier uses the principle that vapor
(evaporated water) is created when warm air blows over a
water-soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative
humidity rises.
Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and
activates the humidifier accordingly. The humidifier has a
water supply that dispenses water evenly over a humidifier
pad. The warm dry air from the furnace passes over the
humidifier pad and picks up the moist air to circulate it
throughout your home.
Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you
may be able to lower your thermostat heating setpoint,
which saves money on your heating fuel bills. The end
result is that your humidifier gives you a comfortable
environment that is also energy efficient.

    What to do if my Honeywell Humidifier has low humidity?

      ortizstevenAug 15, 2025
      If your Honeywell Humidifier is showing low humidity, there are several potential causes and solutions: * The furnace blower might not be operating. Try resetting the circuit breaker or checking for a blown fuse. Ensure the furnace power is on and inspect all external wiring connections. Also, verify the humidity control setting. If problems persist, consider calling a professional heating contractor. * Rapid air changes or drafts can also lead to low humidity. Keep doors and windows closed, close the fireplace damper when it's not in use, minimize exhaust fan running time, and seal around doors and windows. * Check that the damper is in the 'open' position to allow humidification.

      Jose LopezSep 1, 2025
      If your Honeywell Humidifier is causing high humidity: * If you notice condensation on the walls, turn off the humidity control and water supply until the condensation evaporates completely. * If there's heavy condensation on the windows, lower the humidity control setting to eliminate condensation caused by moisture from activities like bathing, mopping, or cooking. If moisture continues, increased ventilation is necessary.
