Thank you for all your great opinions. I will have to search for a local installer that could install a whole house humidifier and not charge me an arm and a leg for installation service. I saw Aprilaire 700 that could be ordered through Amazon. I have a 2100 sg ft home. I saw a Vornado 1.8 gal Evaporative humidifier with 4 wicks for $79.99 from Costco. I think I will bite the bullet and order that today.
