How can you lower your energy bills? By raising the quality of your home's air.
Heating and cooling costs are the #1 expense in most American homes. This should come as no surprise given the ever-increasing costs of electricity, fuel oil, natural and propane gases, and other energy sources. So, it may seem counterintuitive to invest additional money into your existing heating and cooling system. The fact is Aprilaire Indoor Air Quality products can actually help you save money on your energy bills:
The Aprilaire Zoned Comfort Control System allows you to tailor your energy consumption to your specific lifestyle, saving you money. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, zoning combined with a programmable thermostat strategy can save you up to 30% on your energy bills.
Most homeowners turn up the thermostat because they feel cold. The combination of an Aprilaire Thermostat and an Aprilaire Whole-House Humidifier allows you to feel warmer at lower temperature settings. In fact, the EPA states that you can save up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree that you lower your thermostat.
Build-up on your heating and cooling equipment can reduce its efficiency by as much as 25%. An Aprilaire Whole-House Air Cleaner helps maintain the efficiency of your central heating and cooling system, enabling it to run less frequently.

Most homeowners turn up the air conditioner to try and get rid of the “stickiness” caused by excess indoor humidity. The Aprilaire Whole-House Dehumidifier removes the appropriate amount of moisture from your home’s air, allowing you to run your air-conditioning system less often and for shorter periods of time. Additionally, the Aprilaire Whole-House Dehumidifier consumes the same amount of electricity as most portable dehumidifiers.
Aprilaire Whole-House Ventilation permits you to bring in your desired amount of fresh outdoor air into your home—exactly when you want it. The need to constantly run your heating and cooling equipment blower is completely eliminated. Aprilaire Whole-House Ventilation also prevents air that is too hot or too humid from entering the home, keeping your heating and cooling system—and other Aprilaire Indoor Air Quality products—from operating unnecessarily.
