TOPIC: Humdifiers on electric furnace

Hello everybody
I came acroos this today. I do not like this but I am pretty sure you can do it. A humidifier on an electric furnace. I just don't like putting it on top of heating element . These things just love to leak. What do you guys think? i am going to advise my client what happens to these things and especially mixing the electric in with it

Check out these splices of the power supply!

Jeff, here is a piece from an article on Warmair.com

Heat pump and electric furnace air is not warm enough to evaporate water as easily as a fuel burning furnace, so a steam humidifier is needed. Fabricated of metal, a float valve keeps the required amount of water in the reservoir. Mounted in the return or supply ducts or plenums, line voltage current is passed through a heating element immersed in the reservoir to make steam. The control wiring will include a switch to turn the blower on during operation for increased humidification even when the thermostat is not calling for heat.
