I get Google alerts everyday of Aprilaire products being talked about online. Today I received one that turned out to be a Craigslist posting; someone selling a five-year old Aprilaire humidifier for fifty bucks. Great deal, eh?
I don't think so.
Yes, fifty bucks is alot cheaper than having a new humidifier installed.
And yes, it's true that there really is very little that can go wrong with an Aprilaire humidifier, so a five-year old unit is likely to perform just like new if it's been properly serviced throughout that five years.
Big "IF"! But why risk that? YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
My advice is spend the money to do it right. It's not that expensive to get the peace of mind and up-to-date technology of a brand new unit. Do it right and call a qualified Aprilaire Indoor Air Quality Specialist in your town. Yes, you'll spend a few hundred bucks. But you'll have better comfort for a lifetime.
Plus, while they're at it, you can have your entire system cleaned and checked for the season; something you need to do anyway in order to keep a very expensive system running efficiently and safely.
I love Craigslist; use it alot to buy and sell. Heck, if I was that guy with an Aprilaire humidifier that I wanted to sell, I'd probably do the same thing. But as buyer, no thanks.
