Here's a startling fact: According to the EPA, concentrations of toxic pollutants can be up to ten times greater inside a home than outside, even in our smoggiest cities. And today's homes, while more energy efficient, can trap contaminants like formaldehyde, radon, and household chemicals inside.

The Aprilaire^® Energy Recovery Ventilator is a way to effectively exchange fresh outside air Installation photo for stale inside air. The exclusive EnergyMax Transfer Core uses the heat of indoor air to warm up the incoming cold fresh air, recovering about 77% of the energy. In summer, warm fresh air passes near outgoing conditioned air, cooling it down. The beauty of the EnergyMax Transfer Core is its use of enthalpic technology. This technology enables the transfer of moisture as well as heat. The popularity of the enthalpic-type air exchanger has increased all over the country because of its superior ability to control humidity levels in both winter and summer.

The result is greater indoor comfort at the lowest possible cost. Noise is also reduced, since you can enjoy fresh air without leaving windows open. Plus, a cleaner, safer home is a home with greater value. While the ideal time to install Aprilaire^® Energy Recovery Ventilator is during construction, the Energy Recovery Ventilator can be added to any existing heating/cooling system.
