Molds thrive in high humidity conditions. Wood floorings, cabinets and furniture also suffer from warpage and structural damage. Remove the worry and protect your home with an Aprilaire dehumidifier that guards against excess moisture. Never again touch a surface in your home that is wet with condensation – a breeding ground for mold.

Your Aprilaire Humidifier shares your home’s relative humidity level with the system which allows the Model 6504 Panel to extend blower operation at the end of a heat call if the humidity set point was not reached during the call. When installed with an Aprilaire Energy Recovery Ventilator or an Aprilaire Ventilation Damper, the Model 6504 Panel will ensure the right quantity and quality of fresh air critical for your home’s comfort. The system can be set to circulate air periodically to extend air cleaner and humidifier performance.
In an effort to save energy costs, new homes are being better sealed to prevent indoor air from escaping. Energy efficient windows and doors with double weather stripping are being installed in both new homes and older homes that are being remodeled. Insulation is thicker and the use of air-tight vapor barriers is more prevalent. Better caulk is sealing up cracks and other potential air leaks. While all this has made many homes more efficient, saving both energy and money, it has also made it nearly impossible for these homes to “breathe” – to expel stale, polluted indoor air and exchange it for cleaner, fresher outdoor air.
Formaldehyde, radon, household chemicals, odors, cigarette smoke, and other contaminants are present in our homes. These substances have become the focus of studies by builders, remodelers, heating and ventilating contractors, and even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In fact, EPA studies prove that concentrations of toxic pollutants can be up to 10 times greater inside homes than outside, even in our smoggiest cities. And some of these pollutants have been known to cause headaches, nausea and possibly even cancer.
Installed whole-home air cleaners will always perform better than portable units. However, most whole-home air cleaners lose efficiency as they collect contaminants, starting the first day they are installed. Air cleaners vary in their maintenance frequency, some as often as once a month. Some require washing or vacuuming.
Some air cleaners only remove very large visible particles to protect your home’s heating and cooling equipment. Others are effective on allergen-sized particles. Still others are effective all of the way down to virus-sized particles. The best air cleaners take care of the issues you need addressed, whether it’s equipment protection, allergy relief or providing a healthy home.
Aprilaire’s Model 2210 and 2410 Central Media Air Cleaners are equipped with innovative filtering media that can give you exceptionally clean air throughout your home. Which model you choose depends upon your furnace type. Either model delivers the most efficient, cost-effective air cleaning for your home. They provide a healthier home environment, long service life and high quality and reliability.
Keep humidity below 50 percent in basements. Improve outside grading and drainage by keeping gutters clean and soil always sloping away from your home. Cover dirt crawlspace floors with plastic to reduce moisture.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets standards for air quality–including limits on the amount of particulate matter (microscopic particles) emitted by fireplaces and stoves. All wood stoves and fireplace inserts manufactured and sold today in the United States are required to be certified by the EPA.
