We’re just about to close the books on AHR 2020 in Orlando, but not without showing you everything that we’re talking about at good ol’ booth #3225!

In this video, Product Manager Casey Klock discusses our wide range of fresh air ventilation solutions. And knowing that ventilation is subject to many state and local codes, the 8120X controller that comes with most units includes programming logic designed to operate according to ASHRAE 62.2. Easy to install and easy to set up to bring healthy fresh air into your customers’ homes.

Casey also shows us AprilAire’ Thermostat and Zoning product lines, which like ventilation, are key pieces of the puzzle for contractors and builders looking to create homes with healthy air for their customers and buyers.

Lastly, Casey discusses Health360™ — AprilAire’s ecosystem that Connect. Detect. and Correct. indoor air quality issues in the home. Centered around the 6000 Series Zone Control System, this ecosystem is designed to encompass air purification, humidity control, ventilation, and temperature control throughout the home.

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.
