Are you and your family breathing the best air possible?
Air quality can vary based on where you live, and each region of the country deals with certain risk factors throughout the year.
Bringing in fresh air from the outdoors is an important part of creating a Healthy Air environment in your home. Crucial to that ventilation process is filtering out pollution and allergens before distributing the air throughout your home.
No matter if you live in a house or an apartment, you want your living space to be filled with fresh, filtered air. And AprilAire wants to help you get there with our guide to air filtration solutions to fit your lifestyle.

AprilAire Whole-House Air Purifiers
Whole-home air purifiers work behind the scenes to keep the air in your home fresh every day, helping remove dust, pollutants, and odors.
AprilAire Whole-Home Air Purifiers can be installed as part of your home’s central heating and cooling unit, or specifically in the basement, attic, or closet. To match the amount of space being purified by whole-home units, you’d have to buy multiple single-room units, which can cost more and be less efficient in the long run.
Some whole-home units can even be programmed through your thermostat, giving you the ability to schedule “event-based cleanings” that increase the level of purification when you’re cooking or cleaning or want a quick refresh before having company over.
AprilAire Room Air Purifier
If you live in an apartment or any other space where you can’t make permanent changes to the structure, consider adding a room air purifier to keep things fresh.
The AprilAire Room Air Purifier removes airborne dust, pollen, mold spores, germs, and pollutants, so you can refresh the air in any room of your living space. Plus, the portable design makes it simple to move from room to room.
If you have a whole-home air purification system in your home, you can still benefit from using single-room units. They may be helpful in high-traffic areas like the living room and kitchen, or in a bedroom to ensure quality air while you sleep.
If you have pets, adding a room air purifier to their areas can help cut down on lingering odors, dander, and hair.
Filter Options
For both whole-home and room air purifiers, you’ll likely have the choice of what filter to use. If possible, you should always opt for MERV 16 air filters, which can trap up to 99%* of asthma and allergy triggers, and captures 98%* of airborne viruses.
AprilAire filters can save you time and money. While traditional air filters need to be changed every 1-3 months, AprilAire filters are effective for 6-12 months before they need to be replaced.
