There is a need to rewrite this question. Neither the humidifier nor the subject are equipped with fans. It may be more accurate to say "continually" instead of "contentiously". This could refer to the furnace fan, perhaps.

My older Honeywell model failed after several years, so I purchased this to replace it. It seems to be a good product. It's a good idea not to try to install it yourself when you buy it. If you are familiar with sheet metal work, you can install the device physically rather easily. It is a different story when it comes to wiring. There are a few options provided in the Honeywell instructions, but most of them don't apply to this After Honeywell was given instructions to sort those who do not, the company only advised that a HVAC installer should be contacted. An investment that doesn't seem to be worth it.
The restocking fee was worth it, but I had to pay a fee. The purchase was made before research was performed. Upon reading the reviews which mentioned what seems to be flaws in the design and a lot of maintenance, I looked at the unit myself and saw that my only choice was to return it. The Aprilaire 800 has been purchased. Aprilaire 800 is one of my favorite air conditioners. The steam humidification I am accustomed to is a vast improvement from the evaporative methods.

In the package, the unit arrived in a beat up and falling apart condition. One minor part was broken, but I had it from another unit. A new one can be put in hand. Please take note It is not worth the paper on which Honeywell's warranty is written. I'm just not satisfied with the service! I paid a professional to service my warranty with their assistance. Thanks to its low cost, this unit can now be considered as an item of consumption.
tried to keep our house humid with an Aprilaire cold water unit attached to the furnace, but it simply wasn't sufficient. With the cold water, we were able to reach a maximum of 30%. Using Honeywell's steam unit, we were able to reach close to 50%, even when the outside temperature was freezing.
I have observed it running about 60 seconds even though the description says it should run for 10 minutes Even though I got a size bigger than what the sizing chart recommended, I still wore it 70% of the time. In terms of wiring into existing HVAC components, the trickiest part for me was the wiring into my existing HVAC components if you plan to install it yourself (it does say "ProInstall" only). I think it is not too bad given that you make sure to draw a diagram.
As far as I can tell, it is working. The last one lasted too short. Let's hope this one lasts longer. The age of (four.
