Westinghouse Furnace Part
QUESTION:I just purchased a house that has a hot air/oil furnace with a
Westinghouse humidifier. I am in dire need of replacement parts for
the latter, more specifically, the valve/float assembly.
For the sake of the argument, yes, I *did* try to install an Air
King valve/float assembly as well as the generic replacement valve
and float sold at The Home Depot, but it just won't fit because of
lack of space and overall unit design.
So:
Does anyone know if Westinghouse still makes furnace humidifiers,
and where parts can be obtained from?
ANSWER: The Westinghouse name is still around on major home appliances,but its
owned by Frigidaire now.
They havent made any furnace humidifiers or other HVAC equipment for,I
would say,15-20 years.
Disappointing as it sounds,I would recommend a new humidifier.Aprilaire
and General both make nice,reasonably priced units that should serve your
purpose.
