Adding Humidity?

If your return duct goes into an uninsulated attic, I hope the duct is well insulated. Even then, the interior temperature of the duct will problably be near dewpoint with a humidifier under it, and will condense and rain back down. The other issue is if your air unit coil is in cooling mode, you will squeeze all that humidity back out of your air into your condensate pan.

Standalone humifiers should be placed near the warm air supply outlet(s) so the warm dry air can absorb the humidity.

    Adding Humidity??

    I want to increase my humidity level in the winter.
    I have a hydro air system in an unfinished attic so I can't add one to the duct because of freezing issue.

    If I get a stand alone unit I could place it under a return in the ceiling. Anyone see any issue with this placement?
