Virus Defense That Works

That the most effective way to prevent proliferation of airborne viruses is by installing a whole home Healthy Air System containing 3 elements:
Air Cleaners with a high performance filter, Humidity Control, and Ventilation for fresh air.

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 ventilation system to bring in fresh air from the outside to dilute stagnant indoor air. The air inside the home can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside.

Proper filtration of both the air in your home and incoming ventilation air is key to removing particulates from the air. 

Aprilaire MERV 16 Allergy & Asthma Filters provide the highest rate of effectiveness. They can capture up to 96%* of airborne particles the size of viruses.

Proper Humidity reduces the transmission of viruses. 

ASHRAE promotes keeping humidity between 30-60% to minimize virus survival rates. Aprilaire provides humidifier products such as the 600, 700, and 800 and the 1850 dehumidifier to help keep the home between this optimal range.
