Installed a humidifier recently on our heat pump, with a propane furnace backup, and had problems. The solenoid that supplies water to the humidifier is 24V and there is no terminal in our HVAC system that will power this valve in both the heat pump and backup modes. Installed a sail...

I learned that BTU calculations are going to be a best guess estimate. With leaky duct work, enclosed above a finished ceiling, there is no way to determine the loss. In our house 99% of the supply ducts are not visable and tearing down the drywall at this point is not an option...
