These units provide commercial-grade performance and world-class quality, backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty.
Air Purifiers
Just like dirty water, dirty air poses a significant health risk. Especially in today’s tighter homes, airborne viruses, allergens and other contaminants are trapped inside.

You’re also ensuring that your HVAC system will last its maximum life-span and require fewer service trips to your home.
Temperature Control
Aprilaire Thermostats play an important role in health and comfort. Heating and cooling costs are the #1 expense in most American homes. Aprilaire Programmable thermostats allow you to save energy by setting your home at different temperatures based on your schedule. Options may also include Wi-Fi control of heating and cooling as well as control and monitoring of air purity and humidity.
Ventilation
With Aprilaire ventilation, clean fresh air is brought in while stale, musty, dusty air is removed. Aprilaire ventilation systems reduce the concentration of pollutants in your home, which can be 5 times greater inside your home than outside.
We help deliver healthy air.
Every home and family deserves the healthiest indoor environment. We can help deliver it to yours, with Aprilaire.
