Is it the right size for your home?
It puts 12 gallons of water a day into the air, enough to humidify about 1,400 sq ft (our estimate). Pick your home's living area.
It's the right size.
For a condo or house under 900 sq ft, it's within its range. It will run at part load on ordinary days and keep a reserve for the coldest days.
AirGreen estimate. Clean Comfort publishes no area in sq ft for this model. For an average-construction home, we count 120 sq ft per gallon a day, the ratio in AprilAire's and Lennox's tables. Older or leaky house: go one size up; our estimator confirms it on site.
What it does, in numbers
Output: manufacturer's spec (12 gal/day).
What you should know about this one
Published, verifiable figures, not brochure claims.
12 galWhat it produces per day, at full output
About 45 litres of water turned into humidity in 24 hours. The control runs it to match the humidity you set: it rarely runs flat out, except in very cold weather.
Heat pumpBehind a heat pump, it produces less
It evaporates water from a pad using the heat of the air coming off the furnace. A heat pump blows cooler air, so it evaporates less. With a heat pump, talk to our estimator: depending on the manufacturer, we connect it to hot water or suggest a steam model instead.
M2Second generation, manual control
The 2 marks the generation Clean Comfort launched in 2020: new cabinet, new pads, 5-year warranty. M means manual control.
7 WNext to nothing in electricity
Its valve uses 7 W at 24 V. It needs an opening of about 9.3 × 9.4 in. and water pressure from 40 to 120 psi.
ControlThe control that comes with it
Manual humidity control.
UpkeepWhat gets replaced, and when
HE22E1003 pad (Agion antimicrobial) or CCF-A10.
35%The humidity to aim for in winter, at most
At −7 °C, no more than 35%; at −18 °C, no more than 25%. Above that, the moisture condenses on the windows. The control adjusts for you if it has an outdoor sensor.
5 yearsThe parts warranty
Parts are covered for 5 years by the manufacturer. We register the warranty in your name at start-up.
What it needs on site
Our estimator checks the ducts, the water supply and the drain before ordering.

Clean Comfort HE12M2: the 2020 generation of the small bypass humidifier
The HE12M2 is a bypass humidifier that mounts on a forced-air furnace. It produces 12 gal/day. Clean Comfort publishes no area in sq ft for this model; it suits about 1,400 sq ft by our estimate, for an average-construction home. We count 120 sq ft per gal/day, the ratio in AprilAire's and Lennox's tables.
What M2 means
- The 2 marks the generation Clean Comfort launched in 2020: a new 16.57 × 9.47 × 15.16 in. cabinet, new pads, a 5-year warranty.
- The M means manual humidity control, supplied with the unit.
- Two pad choices: the HE22E1003, treated with Agion antimicrobial, or the untreated CCF-A10.
What it needs on site
It needs an opening of about 9.3 × 9.4 in. in the plenum, a bypass duct, a drain and water pressure from 40 to 120 psi. Its valve uses 7 W at 24 V, so it connects to the furnace transformer with no new circuit. For upkeep, you replace the pad. Like any evaporative unit, it needs the furnace's heat; behind a heat pump it produces less.
