No matter what indoor air quality challenge you face, Aprilaire has the right solution.
Enhance your Comfort
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that indoor air quality can be up to 100 times worse than the air outside - filled with pollutants that can trigger allergies, cause irritation or other potentially serious health problems. Your indoor environment can be too dry, too humid, too cold, too hot - and all these problems can make up to 90% of your living uncomfortable.
Other than ambient temperature, nothing affects a body's perception of comfort more than humidity
- Dry air in your home makes you feel cold and dry, with itchy skin and dry nose. Static shocks are a jolting reminder of dry air.
- Too much humidity makes your feel clammy, sweaty and sticky.
- Your house can smell musty - especially in your basement.
Protect your Family's Health
According to the American Lung Association, the indoor air quality of our homes has been increasingly recognized as a threat to our respiratory health.
The most commonly cited reason is airborne pollutants, such as:
- Airborne, virus-sized particles and irritants like respirable dust, pollen, dirt, allergens and pet dander.
- Biological contaminants - mold spores, dust mites, viruses, fungi, bacteria.
- Gases, vapors and odors-from gas appliances, furniture glues and finishes, carpeting, cleaning products, pesticides, paint, perfumes, pets and more.
Too little or too much humidity causes health problems.
- Too little humidity induces chronic physical symptoms, like sore throat, dry skin and sinus irritation.
- Too much humidity increases allergens, which thrive at higher humidity levels. Excessive humidity in the air can also aggravate asthma symptoms - a leading serious chronic illness in children.
Aprilaire Whole-Home Indoor Air Quality products from Lamprey Brothers are designed to handle these challenges-in every room of your home. For a customized solution that can address your specific indoor air quality needs, contact Lamprey Brothers.

Lower Energy Costs
Aprilaire products not only add to your comfort and health, but also save you money on energy bills - the #1 expense in most American homes.
Aprilaire Programmable Thermostats can save you up to 30% on energy costs according to the EPA.
- As part of a zoned Comfort Control system, the savings can be even greater.
An Aprilaire Whole-House Air Cleaner helps maintain the efficiency of your central heating and cooling system, and also enables it to run less frequently.
- Build-up of dirt, dust and pollution on your heating and cooling equipment can reduce its efficiency by as much as 25%.
- Build-up can also be damaging to your heating and cooling equipment, contributing to increased maintenance and premature failure.
Aprilaire Humidifiers make dry winter air feel warmer, allowing you to reduce your thermostat setting 3-4 degrees.
Preservation/Protection of your Home and its Contents
Damage from air that is too dry or too moist is on the rise.
- Dry air pulls moisture from walls and hardwood floors, which leads to damaging, unsightly cracks.
- Too little humidity causes furniture cracking and delamination.
- Artwork and electronics are also subject to the adverse effects (deterioration and static shocks) of dry air.
- Too much humidity causes warping in wood, peeling of paints and wallpaper, and mildew in paper-based materials.
- High humidity leads to increased microbial and fungal growth on shower curtains, textiles and upholstery. Where you can see it - it's a nuisance to clean. But it's where you can't see it that can lead to the most serious damage.
An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier and Dehumidifier can help protect your home and its contents by regulating the amount of moisture in your home's air. And with an Aprilaire Whole-House Air Cleaner, your home and all its contents are kept cleaner, more secure.
