Aprilaire Healthy Air System | Fresh Air Ventilation System in New York
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.
Air Filtration
Proper
filtration of both the air in your home and incoming ventilation air is key to
removing particulates from the air.
According
to the United States National Library of Medicine National Institute of Health,
the coronavirus nominally has a particle size of 0.13 microns and most airborne
viruses range from 0.03 to 0.3 microns.
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.
Humidity Control
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.
We support the findings and recommendation of
ASHRAE that the most
effective way to prevent proliferation of airborne viruses is by installing a
whole home Healthy Air System containing 3 essential elements:
1.
Air Cleaner with a high performance filter
2.
Humidity Control
3.
Ventilation for fresh air
