Did you know that the air inside your home could be more polluted than the air outside? Up to five times more polluted, in fact. That’s because today’s homes are built so tight that they are trapping air pollution within the home and spoiling the air quality. That’s where AprilAire Whole-House Ventilation solutions come into play!   

AprilAire Whole-House Ventilation Solutions and its Benefits 

Consider inviting AprilAire Whole-House Ventilation solutions to be the lungs of your Healthy Home. As the system breathes fresh, clean air in, it exhales dirty air out—protecting your home’s air from unwanted contaminants that pose a threat to the health of your home and family. 

Here are some of the common contaminants you can help evict from your home with the right ventilation system:  

• Airborne Viruses 
• Volatile Organic Compounds (or VOCs) 
• Allergens 
• Carbon Monoxide  
• Tobacco Smoke 
• Ozone 
• Odors 

Common Types of Ventilation  

According to the EPA, the “proper design, operation, and maintenance of a ventilation system is essential in providing indoor air that is free from harmful concentrations of pollutants.”  

As a result, there are three types of ventilation used to protect a Healthy Home: Natural, mechanical, and mix-mode. 

Natural Ventilation 

By opening windows or screen doors, fresh air can naturally flow throughout your home. 

Mechanical Ventilation  

Fresh air is pushed into your home with help from a mechanical fan. 

Mix-Mode Ventilation 

A combination of natural and mechanical ventilation helps supply your home with Healthy Air. 

Why AprilAire Whole-House Ventilation Solutions Use Mechanical Ventilation 

Helping push fresh air into your home, AprilAire Whole-House Ventilation solutions use mechanical ventilation for easy airflow control, designed to keep your family breathing Healthy Air in their Healthy Home, always. 

Mechanical ventilation also helps remove excess moisture living in your home’s air. Without it, trapped moisture can linger, causing structural issues, unhealthy air quality levels, discomfort, and increased risk of illness.  

Plus, when you regularly change your air filters, you can ensure your home’s air is free from microorganisms, odors, and vapors—regardless of weather, humidity levels, or outdoor air pollution! 

Healthy Home Dos and Don’ts  

Don’t let dirty air impact your health any longer!  

DO: Keep location and home size in mind when shopping for solutions 

Speak with your local Healthy Air Professional to determine your home’s specific needs.  

DON’T: Forget to keep your system up to code 

Keeping up with the standards put forth by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (or ASHRAE), AprilAire Whole-House Ventilation solutions meet the requirements of the International Residence Code as well as the International Energy Conservation Code. 

DO: Eliminate VOCs 

Unfortunately, that “fresh laundry” smell is a key indicator that your laundry solutions contain harmful VOCs that can impact your Indoor Air Quality. So, opt for plant-based or non-VOC products to protect your air. 

DON’T: Forget to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home 

A great system can help maintain the Indoor Air Quality of a Healthy Home, but it’s still important to take necessary precautions to protect yourself from emergencies. 

DO: Open windows or use fans to supplement ventilation when necessary 

Trying your hand at a DIY project that involves paint, glue, or products riddled with VOCs? Opening a window or using a fan can help force these pollutants outside for quick ventilation.
