Portable Vs. Whole Home Air Quality

Why treat just one room when you could improve the air in your entire home? Whether it's air cleaning, humidifying/dehumidifying, or ventilation, the truth is portable units just don't work for anything other than temporary, one-room relief. And extending that partial relief throughout your home means buying multiple, expensive, energy-wasting units that merely treat your Indoor Air Quality symptoms instead of solving the problem once and for all. Aprilaire whole home humidification systems solve the problem in every room of your home with only one product.

Portable units have many disadvantages:

They treat the air only in the immediate vicinity of the unit
You need a separate unit for every room
These units typically require more frequent cleaning and maintenance
They are often times noisy and obtrusive in your living areas
Multiple units consume far more energy than whole-house solutions

However, Aprilaire Whole-Home products offer many advantages:

They install, out of sight, into your existing heating and cooling system
They work invisibly, silently, and automatically
Aprilaire solutions treat the air in every room of your home
Each unit is designed with superior energy efficiency in mind
All Aprilaire products are engineered to last as long as your entire HVAC system
