If “Healthy Air Starts with an Air Cleaner”, it certainly doesn’t stop there. Mindy and Damian, our Humidifier and Dehumidifier Product Managers, are at AHR to discuss how to control humidity in the home year-round.

Most of the country is right in the middle of prime humidifier season and not only do humidifiers provide home preservation and comfort benefits, but they also decrease your family’s chance of getting colds and flus.

Dehumidifiers provide the very same benefits — health, comfort and preservation — once summer rolls around and indoor humidity needs to be limited. Removing moisture from the air keeps mold and mildew from growing and causing their own set of nasty illnesses and symptoms.

AprilAire has the solutions for you to provide your customers with healthy air, no matter the problem. And like Mindy and Damian said, the best way to offer healthy air is to quote a humidifier and dehumidifier on every job by adding them to your sales packages! Because, “You can’t SELL it, if you don’t QUOTE it!”

Optimizing Indoor Air: The Role of Humidifiers in Energy-Efficient Homes

Modern homes are built for maximum energy efficiency, reducing natural ventilation, and limiting the amount of dry outdoor air entering the home during the heating season. This has led to a misconception that humidifiers are unnecessary in newer homes. Research shows that without a humidifier, indoor humidity levels drop below what’s needed to maintain comfort and preserve the home. HVAC professionals play a key role in addressing this issue by recommending and installing humidifiers to ensure proper Indoor Air Quality and balanced moisture levels for customers.

The Growing Need for Better Indoor Air Quality

With 1 in 5 Americans suffering from asthma and allergies, Indoor Air Quality is a major concern. HVAC professionals play a key role in addressing this issue by recommending effective air filtration solutions.

 

Whole-Home Electronic Air Cleaners: A High-Performance Solution

Unlike standard mechanical filters, electronic air cleaners (EACs) use an electric charge to capture even the smallest airborne particles, providing superior filtration throughout the home. Installed within the HVAC system, they effectively remove allergens, dust, and other contaminants.

 

Why Recommend an Electronic Air Cleaner?

  • Higher Efficiency – EACs outperform traditional filters, especially for tiny airborne particles
  • Comprehensive Air Filtration – Integrated with the HVAC system, they clean air in every room
  • Ideal for Allergy & Asthma Sufferers – Helps reduce triggers like dust, pollen, and pet dander

 

While industry testing standards for EACs are still evolving, independent studies confirm their effectiveness. Offering whole-home electronic air cleaners gives contractors a high-value solution to improve IAQ and enhance customer satisfaction.

The Impact of Whole-Home Dehumidification on Indoor Comfort and Energy Efficiency

As an HVAC professional, you know that indoor humidity levels can impact not just occupant comfort and health but also the home itself. Too much moisture in the air can lead to mold, musty odors, and damage to wood floors and furnishings. Unfortunately, standard air conditioning (AC) systems provide limited humidity control—especially when they’re not actively cooling.

 

That’s where whole-house dehumidifiers come in. A recent study found that using a whole-house dehumidifier alongside AC can significantly improve humidity control and even help reduce energy usage. By keeping indoor moisture levels in check, your customers will feel more comfortable, prevent potential damage to their home, and may even save on their energy bills.
