What Causes Indoor Air Polution?
Builders and homeowners are doing all the right things to make homes more air tight and more energy efficient. They use vapor barriers, caulking, house wraps and better sealing doors and windows to reduce energy loss caused by air infiltration.
Today’s homes eliminate nearly all wasteful air leaks, helping to control energy costs. Because homes are air tight, pollutants are trapped indoors. The health hazards from indoor air pollutants are broadly recognized as one of today’s top environmental hazards.
Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the home. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants.
Air Cleaners
The air we breathe in our homes is loaded with pollutants like pollen, lung damaging dust, pet hair, dander, dust mites, tobacco smoke, spores, disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Considering the typical throwaway furnace filter only traps about 5 - 15% of these polluting particles and that the slightest traces of pollutants can trigger miserable reactions for allergy sufferers, you need serious help. In today’s world, a whole-house, high efficiency air cleaner is the best system to get the job done.
Aprilaire® High Efficiency Air Cleaners are the most efficient air cleaners you can buy. Whether you choose the technologically-advanced Electronic Air Cleaner or the proven Media Air Cleaner, Aprilaire offers features and benefits that are unsurpassed by any competitive product.

Dehumidifiers
All homes need humidity control. Aprilaire has a solution for every size home. From our compact 65-pint unit - perfect for town homes, condominiums and homes with a closet HVAC system - all the way up to our 135-pint unit for homes that are 4,000 square feet or more. Aprilaire can provide every homeowner the whole-home protection and performance of central dehumidification.
Air conditioning alone can't satisfy your home's humidity requirements. Your air conditioning system is designed to control temperature, not humidity, and only removes humidity as a byproduct of cooling. During the spring and fall seasons when it’s still cool outside but damp inside, your air conditioning isn't running and your house is uncomfortable — you need an Aprilaire Whole-Home Dehumidifier.

Ventilators
In the RenewAire energy exchange core, the exhausted stale air and the fresh ventilation air pass through multiple air passages separated by an engineered composite resin partition plate. Sensible heat transfers from the warm to the cool air stream. Also, latent energy (water vapor) transfers from the wet to the dry air stream. The fresh incoming air is automatically pre-heated or pre-cooled depending on the season. This dramatically reduces the energy costs of ventilation. This unique moisture transfer feature of the RenewAire energy exchange core also eliminates condensate and frosting in most applications. No mechanical or electrical defrost systems are needed, which means higher heat recovery efficiencies, simpler installation and more reliable operation.Learn More >
Humidifiers
Dry nose, cracked, itchy skin, and sore throats. Aggravated allergy and asthma symptoms. Painful static shocks. Chipping paint and plaster. Splitting or cracked wood floors, furniture, trim and molding. Sound familiar? Why go through another season with these problems when there is a solution—an Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifier.
Turning your temperature up in the wintertime will keep you warm but won’t increase your home’s humidity level. Daily activities such as showering, cooking and doing laundry don’t produce enough moisture to keep your home’s air from being too dry. According to medical experts, many viruses thrive in low humidity increasing the likelihood of catching colds, flu and upper respiratory ailments. The American Society of Otolaryngology even reports that it is important to prevent an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to infection. Learn More >
