My humidifier blows directly onto the A/C coil and works just fine. My prior
furnace/humidifier was set up the same way and also worked fine for 20+
years. I live in a very cold climate in the Northeast U.S.

Hi,

I am new at this. We bought a 70+ y.o. house here in Ontario. The
summers are warm and moist and the winters are cold and dry.

The A/C was added onto the furnace, bu there is no humidifier for the
winter. I opened up the ducting immediately above the furnace and the
condensor for the A/C is sitting right there. As far as I can see, if
I add a humidifier the only place to put the small duct carrying the
moist air would go in immediately in front of the condensor. Would
there be a problem with this? I am assuming as the A/C is off in the
winter, the condensor is off. And with the air blowing by when the
furnace is going that the moist air isn't going to sit around on the
condensor.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

On my system, the humidifier is mounted on the return duct, close to
the furnace. Then there is a small 6" duct coming out of the supply
duct going into the humidifier.

Right, I will mount my humidifier on the return duct close to the
furnace. That end of things I am all right with.

The small duct that comes out of the humidifier has to go into the
supply duct (hope I have the word right, the part with the warm air)
right above the furnace. Right at that point is the A/C condensor,
inside the ducting. Is it all right to shoot the moist air over the
condensor?
