We run our steam humidifier just fine on 120v, but we have a relatively small townhome at 1400sqft

Be careful you’re not running it independently of whether or not the furnace is actually on. 120V generally can’t evaporate enough water in the short window while the furnace is running and many techs will set it up to run at all times (with the blower but not the furnace) to compensate. This lets mildew or mold grow in your ducts.
