Fresh Air Ventilation

A properly functioning whole-home ventilation system is critical to maintaining a healthy home environment. Fresh air is clean and refreshing, but ventilation helps dilute contaminants.

Homeowners should use a ventilation system to bring fresh air outside to dilute stagnant indoor air. The air inside the home can be up to 5 times more polluted than outside air.

Products such as the Aprilaire Model 8126X Ventilation System or Model 8140 Fresh Air Ventilator bring in the recommended amount of fresh air. They also have patented control logic to minimize energy usage. Coupling these systems with our IAQ thermostats allows homeowners to adjust how much fresh air enters their homes easily.

Air Filtration

Proper filtration of the air in your home and incoming ventilation air is key to removing particulates.

According to the United States National Library of Medicine National Institute of Health, the coronavirus nominally has a particle size of 0.13 microns, and most airborne viruses range from 0.03 to 0.3 microns.

Aprilaire MERV 16 Allergy & Asthma Filters provide the highest rate of effectiveness. They can capture up to 96%* of airborne particles the size of viruses.

Includes patented Aprilaire Self-Seal Technology, which minimizes the amount of air bypassing the filter.

Humidity Control

Proper humidity levels reduce the transmission of viruses. ASHRAE promotes keeping humidity between 30-60% to minimize virus survival rates.

Aprilaire provides humidifier products such as the 600, 700, 800, and 1850 dehumidifiers to help keep the home within this optimal range.
