Description

The Aprilaire 5000 Whole House Air Cleaner helps you create cleaner, healthier air in all the rooms of your home. Did you know that your indoor air can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outdoors? Think about it. Every minute, outdoor air is infiltrating your home through joints and cracks in your walls, open doors, open windows, and other sources, bringing with it a variety of harmful pollutants.

From allergens to dust to smoke—you and your family breathe these pollutants in and out on a daily basis. Prolonged exposure can aggravate your allergies, asthma, sinus conditions, respiratory ailments, and lead to other health issues. This problem is preventable. Keep everyone in your home safe from the effects of poor indoor air quality with the Aprilaire 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner.

Clean the Air in Every Room of Your Home

The Aprilaire Model 5000 Whole House Air Cleaner is a central air purifier that cleans the air throughout your entire home. Installed as part of your central heating and air conditioning system, the Model 5000 uses a combination of electrostatic technology and traditional air filters to remove 98 percent of airborne particles as small as 0.1 micron. These are particles measuring 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair, including:

  • Allergens such as pollen, dust, dust mites, mold, ragweed, and pet dander
  • Airborne bacteria, viruses, and germs
  • Smoke and other particle-based fumes

With regular use, the Aprilaire 5000 Air Cleaner ensures a healthier breathing and living environment for you and your family. It can also increase the overall efficiency of your HVAC system, eliminate expensive and frequent maintenance, and stop premature system failure. Moreover, this high-efficiency whole-house air purifier helps qualify your home for the National Home Builder Association's National Green Building Standard.

How It Works

The Aprilaire 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner installs on or near your furnace or air handler out of sight to remove airborne particles as air travels through your HVAC system. When air enters the air cleaner, airborne allergens and particles are charged in an electrical field and filtered out permanently by 72 square feet of high-efficiency microfiber filters. Working in unison with your HVAC system, clean, conditioned air is then distributed throughout your entire home through your supply ductwork. Under typical use, the Aprilaire 5000 cleans and changes the air in every room of your home more than 4 times per hour.

Boosts Efficiency of Your HVAC System

Along with ridding your home's air of harmful allergens, particles, and smoke, the Aprilaire 5000 Whole House Air Cleaner helps boost the efficiency of your HVAC system. When installed, the air cleaner regularly protects the internal components of your system from dirt and dust build-up. If left untouched, dirt and dust contamination can contribute to expensive ongoing HVAC maintenance and even premature system failure. It can also reduce your system's efficiency by up to 25 percent, making it work harder to condition or heat your air and increasing your energy bills in the process. The Aprilaire Model 5000 helps extend the life of your HVAC system and keeps it running at peak efficiency.

Additional Features

  • Completely Silent Operation: Installed out of sight, the Aprilaire 5000 runs silently alongside your air conditioning system.
  • Easy Infrequent Maintenance: Recommended maintenance takes less than 20 minutes once a year.
  • Long-Lasting Filter: Under typical use, the microfiber filter lasts an entire year, saving you money on costly filter replacements.
  • Filter Replacement Reminder: Reminds you when it's time to replace your filter and can be configured for more or less frequent reminders depending on how often the system cleans.
  • Keeps Your Home Cleaner: Using a whole-house air cleaner means you'll dust less and your home will be cleaner and more comfortable.

Sylvane's Expert Take

The Aprilaire 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner cleans the air throughout all the rooms of your home, eliminating 98 percent of allergens, smoke particles, and germs.

What Customers Love

  • Saves Space: Installs out of sight as part of your HVAC system, saving valuable floor space you might have dedicated to multiple room air purifiers.
  • Works Independently: The system can be configured to run independently of your HVAC system unlike some conventional whole-house air purifiers.

Things to Consider

  • Severe Allergies and Asthma: If you suffer from severe allergies, asthma, or multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), you may want to use a whole-house air cleaner in tandem with one or more room air purifiers to maximize relief from your symptoms.

    Nice product but not ideal for tight HVAC rooms

    So far so good. Install was a bit challenging since the HVAC room we have in our house was a little tight. The unit itself is pretty big and to get to the filter opening…you need all the space as described in the instructions. Also, if you use the model 51 sensing relay rather that the EAC on your motherboard for the furnace, be sure there is enough amperage to sense the blower activation. Even though I have big blower, I still had to wrap the neutral or common twice to have it work/sense properly. Interested to see how often the filter needs changed and how it performs in the winter.

    I would buy this product again unless something better comes

    It replaces another Aprilaire 5000 that is 12 years old and stopped working about four years ago, the electronics stopped. I got the whole unit so I have some replacement parts. The replaceable filter is great at catching most debris so I didn't feel the need to replace the unit sooner.

    I highly recommend this product and Sylvane as the supplier.

    After reading mostly positive reviews about the Aprilaire 5000 air cleaner system my wife and I opted for this unit forour new home in Roswell, GA.I ordered thus from Sylvane and was very happy to receive the unit the very next morning. I contacted my HVAC company and they installed it for us. My wife noticed an immediate effect, especially in reducing the amount of dust in the air. We are very happy with both the unit and also the experience of dealing with Sylvane as our supplier. 5 Stars so far. #Sweepstakes

    Aprilaire 5000 Reliable & Effective

    Direct replacement of my previous Aprilaire 5000 that was nearly 20 years old and was past its life. Thus far the new one is performing perfectly and I am very pleased with it.
