Essick Air MA1201 Console Evaporative Humidifier 3600 Sq Ft

Product Description

The ESSICK AIR MA1201 is a console evaporative humidifier designed to add moisture to indoor air in residential and light-commercial spaces. It operates by drawing dry air through a water-saturated wick, releasing invisible moisture into the surrounding environment. The unit holds 3.6 gallons of water and provides coverage for spaces up to 3,600 square feet, making it well suited for larger open-plan areas. Weighing 18.55 pounds, it is a freestanding console unit that can be positioned on the floor without additional mounting hardware. HVAC service pros and facilities maintenance technicians commonly specify evaporative humidifiers like the MA1201 for maintaining indoor relative humidity between 30 and 50 percent during dry heating seasons.

The MA1201 is intended for use in residential homes, offices, and workplaces where maintaining adequate humidity is a priority during low-humidity months. It is particularly well suited for spaces with forced-air heating systems that tend to reduce indoor relative humidity significantly. The console form factor allows flexible placement without requiring duct integration or electrical modification. Using a ceiling fan in conjunction with the unit helps distribute moisture output more evenly throughout the space.
