Why Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier?

Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifiers were introduced in 1954 as the first evaporative, flow-through design humidifiers. That’s right—we invented the very first, truly effective, whole-home humidifier. Since then, Aprilaire Humidifiers have been imitated—but never duplicated—and continue to lead the way in whole-house humidification systems. And only Aprilaire offers fully Automatic Digital Humidifier Control to monitor outdoor temperature and indoor humidity levels while providing convenient troubleshooting and maintenance reminders.

What is a Whole-House Air Cleaning?

There are many types of air cleaners (also refered to as air purifiers or ionizers) on the market today but none are as effective and clean your entire house as well as an Aprilaire Air Cleaning system. Aprilaire Whole-Home Air Cleaners make your air as clean as possible by removing particulates from your air, allowing you to breathe healthier air — important to those with allergies and asthma and for those who want the cleanest air possible for themselves and their family. An Aprilaire Air Cleaner installed by your heating and cooling contractor, can help rid your home of dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, bacteria and viruses, smoke and more!

Why Do I Need Mechanical Ventilation?

According to the EPA, sources of indoor pollution that release gases or contaminants into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes. Not providing enough ventilation can aggravate and increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough fresh, outdoor air to dilute indoor source emissions and also by not carrying enough of potentially unhealthy indoor air pollutants out of the home.

Ventilating a home by opening doors and windows may not always be feasible due to security reasons or outdoor noise levels, rain, snow or weather conditions being too hot or cold to open a window. Mechanical ventilation allows a quiet, energy efficient way to exchange stale and sometimes toxic indoor air for fresh, outside air throughout your entire home. An Aprilaire Ventilation System allows you to ventilate your whole-home’s stale, polluted indoor air with fresh air in an energy-efficient way 365 days a year.
