Works great
I installed the Aprilaire 800 myself a couple of months ago (I know, Aprilaire says not to install yourself). I found the installation to be fairly straight forward and required a minimal of external parts/tools as I already had an extra 240-volt 30 AMP circuit and cold water line in the furnace room. Since then, I've been extremely happy with this humidifier.
The humidity level in my home has been consistently staying in the upper 40% range even on the nights when the external temps were in the low 30's. In terms of effectiveness, my hardwood floors do not seem to be going through their typical winter shrinkage and my piano seems to be holding tune better than years past.
I previously had a first generation Aprilaire 700 installed which I hated as I could never fully open the water petcock without the unit leaking and it had an internal fan which increased furnace noise. The 800 has no such leakage problem and works like an absolute champ. The unit makes no noise other than the water and drain solenoids opening and closing.
As for energy usage, I've only been able to compare November 2015 to November 2014, which is not a valid comparison as November 2015 was 7 degrees warmer on average than 2014 in my area. According to BGE, the average daily electricity usage increased by 1.1 kwh and the average daily natural gas usage dropped by 39 therms. Although most of the gas usage is most likely due to the outside temps being higher, I'm finding that I can keep my thermostat set a couple of degrees lower than previous years now that the humidity is higher.
I would recommend anyone considering a whole house humidifier to purchase the 800 over the 700.

Product doesn't work
We received our whole house humidifier and had it installed. After several phone calls to repair people and the company we have not had good results in the getting this thing to work without the red light coming on. It works for a short period of time (2 hours or so) then the red light comes on - another phone call. So far not happy with this product. If it would work the way it is suppose to it could be good.

overpriced junk. company doesn't care.
Installed to spec and there is an awful, loud, distracting gurgling noise through the vents. Company now says I must buy additional parts and pay to reinstall it a different way. They obviously know there is some problem with at least some of these but refuse to take care of their customer. I've seen others online who have done the re-installation and it didn't resolve the noise issue. Complete waste of money. Do not buy this junk. Not even worth the one star I was forced to give it.

Aprilaire to replace Honeywell steam humidifier.
I purchased this unit to replace a Honeywell steam humidifier. The Honeywell is no longer manufactured and I wouldn't purchase one if it was. The Aprilaire has only been operating for a few weeks but seems to be functioning well. Time will tell but having an expendable canister where the steam is produced makes sense. The humidifier hasn't been operating long enough to rate a five star but I have high hopes.

Installation OK, but it uses lots of electricity
The installation was straight forward. It seems to do a great job keeping the humidity at 40%. But it uses up to 20KW per day to do that. I am going to decrease the level to 35% just to save $$$$

Does the job but noisy.
Easy to install. Should have ordered the 800LC since we're typically installing on 115 VAC.
We've installed many of these and my one complaint is the extremely loud water hammering that occurs during draining and filling - even though we've installed a 1/4" inline water hammering device. Still looking for a solution since clients are annoyed by the VERY loud "BANG"! Tried turning down fill valve etc., no change. Suggestions welcome.

@@@@@ Aprilaire 800 Steam Humidifier @@@@@
Unit works very well when integrated with the hot air duct system....
steam generator is quiet and produces more than enough steam with the 240 volt setup
The water valve and flush system on the other hand is noisy. There is a clunking sound and rattling sounds when in this mode. This takes some getting used to.
Wish that had been better designed or insulated.

The valves clank every 3 minutes
I bought this to replace a 2012 general aire unit. The hvac company told me aprilaire is just as good and the filters are easier to change. I SO regret my choice. I hear the water go into it and shut off. Three minutes later I hear the drain. Three minutes later I hear the water. This unit is in our basement and I can hear it in every room in the 9000 sq ft house.

Q: Hi, I have a 1450 sq ft, two story house with a downflow furnace on a crawl. With the Aprilaire 800 I know the stem line needs to run upwards. Can this unit be installed in a crawlspace? I am in northern Illinois but the crawl does not get into freezing temperatures. Thanks
