The highest efficiency and most advanced home comfort technology
The HEPA-AIRE Portable Power Vacuum (PPV) systems are the most portable, lightweight and maneuverable high-performance units available making it possible for us to perform "within the building" source removal duct cleaning in all types of structures. The PPV system offers exceptional flexibility and portability needed to access and clean air handling systems on the first floor or the third floor. The HEPA-filtered systems have the power needed to place large sections of an air distribution system under negative pressure to collect debris and contaminates from the ducts. This powerful unit provides three-stages of filtration with a 99.97% HEPA final filter ata .3 microns.
- Two-module system can easily be taken up or down stairs fully assembled or quickly detached and hand carried by one person
- Three-stage filtration with 99.97% HEPA final filter
- Exceptional vacuum power produced by our exclusive high-performance, backward-curved AT Gold blowers and high-efficiency motors
- Easy-to-maneuver, 10" diameter smooth rubber tires with non-marking stair climber belts protect customer property from damage
Efficient Filtration
The patented, multi-stage filtration system is designed to minimize replacement filter costs and airflow restrictions, and maximize filtration efficiency and dirt holding capacity. Closed-cell neoprene gaskets in critical seams and an interlocking module design prevent filter bypass. HEPA-AIRE PPV's are equipped with three stages of filtration:
Stage One is a cleanable/reusable filter to capture larger particles and extend the life of the replaceable filters.
Stage Two is a high-efficiency deep pleated bag filter to capture more than 99% of remaining visible particles (10+ microns).
Stage Three is a true 99.97% or 99.99% metal-frame, CDC-compliant HEPA filter, individually tested and certified to verify that it meets IEST-RP-CC001.3 overall efficiency requirements, to ensure that only ultra-clean air is exhausted back into the home or building.
AIRE-SWEEP Portable Compressors
This compressor is specially designed to provide the compressed air power needed to loosen caked-on dirt and debris from ductwork systems and to power our exclusive line of source removal duct-cleaning tools.
Agitation Devices
Dislodge dirt and debris from inside all types of duct surfaces including duct board, lined duct, flex duct, metal duct and dryer vents. These unique tools are designed to save time and money, and to improve cleaning quality.

Lifebreath Total Recovery Ventilator (TRV)
See more information at Lifebreath.com
Today's homes require controlled ventilation to improve the Indoor Air Quality and maximize energy efficiency. The TRV is designed for moderate/temperate geographies (specifically Mid-Atlantic and East Coast U.S.) with winter temperatures below freezing and summer conditions that are hot and humid [>75°F and 65% Relative Humidity (RH)].
How Does It Work?
The Lifebreath TRV is a new concept in ventilation that provides the compounded benefits of moisture transfer with unmatched heat recovery in a single unit. This new configuration is specifically designed for moderate/temperate climates where the heating and cooling seasonal loads are similar, and is the only way to ensure year round temperature and moisture transfer.
The Lifebreath TRV transfers heat in the winter and humidity in the summer to help reduce ventilation loads by up to 90%. The Lifebreath TRV core reduces humidity in the incoming air stream by transferring water molecules to the exhaust air stream. The Lifebreath TRV core utilizes a non-cellulose membrane that allows water to pass through but not air, and won't deteriorate with constant exposure to moisture. It is the only water-washable TRV core available.
Aprilaire Humidifiers
Models 700/600

Save your family and your home from the damaging effects of over-dry air. Dry nose and cracked, itchy skin. Aggravated allergy and asthma symptoms. Painful static shocks. Chipping paint and plaster. Warped or damaged wood floors and furniture, trim and molding. Sound familiar? Why go through another season with these problems when there is a solution — an Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifier.
Turning your temperature up in the wintertime will keep you warm but won't increase your home's humidity. Daily activities like showering, cooking, and doing laundry won't produce enough moisture to keep your home's air from being too dry. According to medical experts, many viruses thrive in low humidity and can increase the likelihood of getting colds, flu and upper respiratory ailments. The American Society of Otolaryngology reports that it is important to prevent an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to infection.
A whole-home humidifier from Aprilaire, installed by your heating and cooling professional, will deliver the perfect amount of moisture to your air making you feel more comfortable at lower thermostat settings. In fact, the EPA states that you can save up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat! Increase your family's level of comfort and protect your valuable furnishings by adding just the right amount of moisture with an Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier.
"If too dry an environment is your problem, consider a humidifier. Clues like awakening with a sore throat, dryness in your nose, or even a nose bleed are signs of too little humidity."
How It Works
An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier is installed directly to your central heating and cooling system. Humidity is introduced into your home's air in the form of water vapor, which prevents minerals from entering the air in your home and potentially into your lungs. Water is supplied to the distribution tray, allowing it to flow evenly across the Aprilaire Water Panel®. The resulting humidified air is then distributed via your heating and cooling system ductwork throughout your home.
Why Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifiers?
Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifiers were introduced in 1954 as the first evaporative, flow-through design humidifiers. That's right — we invented the very first, truly effective, whole-home humidifier. Since then, Aprilaire humidifiers have been imitated — but never duplicated — and continue to lead the way in whole-house humidification systems.
Whole-Home Humidification vs. Portable
Too much humidity can be as much of a problem as too little humidity. Unlike portable units the Aprilaire Whole-Home Humidifier continually monitors relative humidity levels in your home, then works to deliver the right amount of moisture — never too much or too little — to your entire house. Aprilaire's humidifiers don't require daily cleaning and disinfecting that many portable units require and you never need to worry about the risk of microbial organism growth due to standing water.
"Humidifiers are commonly used in homes to relieve the physical discomforts of dry nose, throat, lips, and skin. The moisture they add to dry air also helps alleviate common nuisances brought on by winter heating, such as static electricity, peeling wallpaper, and cracks in paint and furniture."
Core Benefits
Every Aprilaire product provides these important key benefits for your family and home.
Health
An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier can reduce the chance of upper respiratory problems. "Humidity reduces the incidence of respiratory infections and speeds recovery from the common cold." — William J. Hitschler, MD, Archives of Otolaryngology.
Comfort
When the air in your home becomes too dry, your body is robbed of precious moisture, leaving you and your family with dry, itchy skin, and dry nose and throat symptoms. An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier can help alleviate all of these uncomfortable symptoms and more.
Protection
Dry air pulls moisture from walls and hardwood floors which leads to damaging, unsightly cracks. Valuable furniture, artwork and electronics are also subject to the adverse effects of dry air. An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier can help protect your home and its contents by supplying the correct amount of moisture to your home's air.
Energy Savings
Most homeowners turn up the thermostat because they feel cold. An Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier allows you to feel warmer at lower thermostat settings, saving up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat, according to the EPA.
"Seasonal and even daily changes in humidity cause wood parts to swell and shrink, affecting tuning stability and touch. Extreme swings in humidity can eventually cause wood to crack and glue joints to fail... Maintaining the correct environment will preserve your piano investment for a lifetime of enjoyment."

- Can be operated manually, allowing you to monitor and control moisture levels in a specific location — such as your basement or master bedroom (optional Living Space Control is required)
Which Model is Right For You?
The Aprilaire Models 1750 and 1760 Whole-House Dehumidifiers offer total comfort from the sticky, sweaty, and potentially unhealthy conditions caused by excess moisture. The 1750 and 1770 models differ only in capacity — with the model 1750 having a moisture removal capacity of up to 90 pints vs. the 1770 with total removal capacity of up to 150 pints per day.
Depending on the size, tightness, and/or age of your home as well as where you are geographically located will help in determining what size model is appropriate. Your best bet is to contact your local Aprilaire Dealer to determine which model is best for your particular family's and home's needs.
