Healthy Air Systems by Aprilaire®
We Believe Healthy Air is Essential—Especially in Your Home
The coronavirus pandemic has brought indoor air quality to the forefront as you and your family are spending far more time in your home. Now is the time to create a healthy air environment in your home by introducing healthy, fresh air. Help to remove airborne dust, allergens, bacteria and viruses and maintain a level of humidity that helps prevent the proliferation of viruses.
We Support the Findings and Recommendations of ASHRAE
The most effective way to prevent proliferation of airborne viruses is by installing a whole home Healthy Air System containing 3 elements:
- Fresh Air Ventilation: Brings in fresh outdoor air to dilute and remove contaminants present in indoor air
- Air Filtration and Cleaners: Captures up to 96% of airborne virus-sized particles that pass through the filtering system
- Humidity Control: Helps maintain proper humidity levels of 30-60% which can help reduce the amount of infectious viruses and bacteria in the air
Elements of a Healthy Home Air System
Ventilation
Ventilation
Ventilation
- The air inside the home can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside.
- Having a properly functioning whole-home ventilation system is critical to maintaining a healthy home environment.
- Fresh air is not only clean and refreshing but ventilation also helps dilute and remove contaminants
- Homeowners should use a fresh air ventilation system to bring in fresh air from the outside to dilute stagnant indoor air.
Filtration
Ventilation
Ventilation
- Proper filtration of both the air in your home and incoming ventilation air is key to removing particulates from the air.
- 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
Humidity

Humidity
- Proper humidity reduces the transmission of viruses; keep humidity between 30-60% to minimize virus survival rates.
- Aprilaire introduced the first whole-home humidifier in the industry in 1954, and since then Aprilaire continues to lead the industry in humidification technology and healthy home solutions.
