Installation is generally not too difficult. Once again, there are many different types of furnaces. There are many different types of systems in our homes. I would say 95% of people with basic home mechanical skills, would be able to perform a basic installation. If you start dealing with wiring and things like that, you may want to call in a plumber or home handy man, somebody that really knows what they are doing. It depends on the individual.
The unit mounts on the cold air return of the furnace, and generally, the opening there is going to be adequate. If it is not, it's quite easy to cut into the sheet metal using the template. That's probably the most technical part of the installation. Then, it's just a matter of connecting the water supply. A lot of people think, "oh boy, I have got to connect it to the water supply. That's going to be a recipe for disaster." Nothing could be further from the truth. We provide something called the saddle valve, and you simply put the saddle valve over the water supply line, screw it in, tap the line, and you've made your water connection.
