Air that’s trapped in your home can also contain harmful,
toxic chemicals that could be threatening the health of
your family. According to the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the concentration of pollutants can be up
to 10 times greater inside your home than outside.

Fresh air is within your reach.
Excess moisture, chemical fumes and odor-laden indoor air can have a negative
effect on the health and comfort of your family. Thankfully, a whole-home ventilation
system from Aprilaire can help. Installed as part of your home’s heating and cooling
system, it expels stale, stagnant air and replaces it with fresh, clean air. Not just in
one room, but throughout your entire home. That means from the bedroom to the
basement, cancer-causing pollutants and foul-smelling air is pushed out while fresh,
outdoor air is pulled in.
An Aprilaire whole-home ventilation system can help you:
Protect your home.
Excess humidity is a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which destroys the
surfaces on which they grow. It also causes condensation build up on windows,
destroying their finishes and structural integrity. A whole-home ventilation system
works in conjunction with other indoor air quality solutions to minimize damage
caused by moisture.
Control health.
The American College of Allergists states that 50% of illnesses are caused or
aggravated by poor indoor air quality. That includes colds, flu, allergies and
asthma. Whole-home ventilation puts dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, viruses, volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) and other airborne pollutants where they belong—
outside your home.
Control comfort.
A whole-home ventilation system can help you control the way your home feels—
and the way it smells. Not only does it remove air that’s uncomfortably humid from
your home, it helps you exchange odors caused by pets, cooking and everyday
activities with fresh, clean-smelling outdoor air.
Save energy.
Too much fresh air in your home could cause you to spend more on heating and
cooling depending on the condition of the outdoor air. With whole-home ventilation,
air that’s too hot or too cold never enters the home, which keeps your air conditioner
or furnace from operating unnecessarily.
