Automatically extract the right amount of humidity from your home.
“It’s not so much the heat, as it is the humidity.”
A phrase that rings true in almost every home. When it’s muggy outside, it’s muggy inside. And excess humidity can make you miserable. You can literally see, feel and smell it:
Indoor condensation appears on windows, mirrors and cold drinks
Your house becomes a breeding ground for insects
Wood floors, trim and wood furniture warp or rot
You experience uncomfortable sweating at normal indoor temperatures
Skin feels sticky in summer/clammy in winter
Rooms smell musty
High Humidity Can Cause Health Problems
Without a dehumidifier, excess moisture can cause:
Mold and mildew to grow
Dust mites to thrive
These contaminants can trigger asthma, allergies and other ailments.
The Aprilaire Wi-Fi Thermostats with IAQ Control provide simple, automatic control of excess moisture.
“As many as 10 percent of the general population and 90 percent of people with allergic asthma are sensitive to dust mites. Recent studies in the United States suggest that at least 45 percent of young people with asthma are allergic to dust mites.”
-American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology

A Whole-Home Dehumidifier Can Help
Daily activities, such as cooking, cleaning and showering can add as much as 25 pounds of moisture to your home.
Aprilaire Whole-Home Dehumidifiers provide whole-home comfort—unlike portable units that only address certain rooms.
Your air conditioner is designed to control temperature, not humidity. You need humidity control to maintain comfortable, healthy conditions in your home.
A whole-home dehumidifier is installed as part of your home’s heating and cooling system. It works in conjunction with your air conditioner, or independently as needed, to remove the ideal amount of moisture to solve the above problems. But not so much that your home becomes too dry.
This is done throughout your entire home, using a single, out-of-the-way source—unlike a portable dehumidifier.
Other advantages of a whole-home dehumidifier include:
Automatic humidity sensing: allows for better monitoring and control of humidity
Convenient, quiet operation: away from your living space
Low maintenance dehumidifier: simple annual filter cleaning
Fresh air ventilation: automatically removes or dilutes polluted air

You can control your comfort level
A variety of control options allow you to modify the automatic set points based on your personal preferences. Digital control is mounted conveniently in your living space and automatically controls the level of humidity. But if you wish, you can simply adjust the settings to change the humidity level as needed.
Aprilaire Wi-Fi Thermostats with IAQ Control provide the most convenient and accurate control of excess humidity and temperature. Automatic Humidity Control is integrated in to the thermostat, and with the mobile app you can easily control temperature and humidity levels anywhere from your mobile device. The app also allows you to control other installed Aprilaire IAQ products for optimum fresh air ventilation and air purity and keeps you up-to-date about changing climate conditions in your home.
