Improving the indoor air quality in your
home, starts with Aprilaire — the leader in
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions.
What is Indoor Air Quality?
IAQ refers to the condition of the air in your
home. The aspects of IAQ include:
temperature,
humidity, air purity and ventilation . When these
conditions aren’t properly managed, it can lead
to poor indoor air quality which can impact
the health and wellness of you and your family.
According to the U.S. E.P.A., the air inside your
home can be up to ten times more polluted than
the air outside.
Temperature
Temperature plays an essential role in comfort and health. With
improved programmability, Wi-Fi and zoned controls, comfort
can be improved while preserving energy efficiency.
Humidity
The relative humidity in the home can impact asthma, allergies
and skin conditions and increase the incidence of cold and flu.
Control of humidity also protects against mold growth, odors
and damage to the home.
Air Purity
Air purification protects your family’s health (as well as your
HVAC system) from harmful particulates like allergens, mold
spores, dust mites and viruses.
Ventilation
Stale air leads to odors, increased humidity and a high
concentration of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Without
proper ventilation, comfort and health are at risk.
