Can I hook up a fog machine to my HVAC system ?

Question

I want smoke to come out of my heater vents when the heater comes on, or maybe just all the time. Is that hard to hook up? Maybe with a separate thermostat so like every night from 6-8pm my whole house gets foggy.

Answer 1

Say What? This is pretty easy to do, though I can't imagine why. Anyhow, I just added a humidifier to my furnace, so hooking up a fog machine should be similar.

Here's one way to do it:
Design a method to attach the machine to the
cold air return, as close to the furnace as possible. I used a couple pieces of angle iron and screws. The humidifier was screwed directly to angle irons, and I put together a couple of 90-degree elbows to create a short 6-inch vent to run from the humidifier to the cold air duct.

For wiring, you can use a timer, a relay switch, or both. Relay switches are available online for clothes dryer booster fans. You could attach a relay switch to the furnace power supply - this would turn on the smoke whenever air is moving. A timer would just need to plugged in somewhere. If you wanted to have the smoke from 6-8, but only when the furnace is running, use a timer and relay switch. Plug the relay power source into the timer. That should do it.

They Put Up The Fog Machines So That The Air Is Thicker On Stage So It Makes It Easier To See The Outline Of All The Different Color Lights and Beams
