Info & Guides

Description

Bring fresh air indoors while pushing out contaminants--allergens, odors, VOCs--and stale air with the Aprilaire 8145. Designed for energy-efficient homes up to 7,500-square feet, this fresh air ventilator is great for mild to humid climates.

Awarded the Energy Star Most Efficient rating for 2022, this system offers better air exchange control at 180 CFM. A powered blower and damper pull outside air into six-inch ducting of the HVAC return or supply plenum, mixing fresh air inside.

How Does It Work?

Great for LEED and passive-energy homes, the Aprilaire 8145 pulls in outside air and mixes with your home’s return air on the HVAC system. Up to 250 cubic feet of airflow (CFM) is whisked around the home, pushing stale air out through passive venting spots, such as kitchen vent hoods, fireplaces, and bathroom exhausts.

**Professional installation by a certified technician is recommended.

Powerful Internal Fan

This powered fresh air ventilator features a powerful internal fan that pulls in outside air. Flexible placement into return or supply ducts make for placement easier. Other features include:

  • Remote Controller: Select from several Aprilaire controllers to program settings for humidity, temperature. Take a look at these models:
  • Powered Damper: The powered damper opens and closes for fresh air intake.
  • Temperature Sensor: An onboard temperature sensor gauges humidity and temperature for operation.
  • Washable Filter: A removable filter comes out for maintenance and cleaning.

Benefits

  • Energy-Efficient: Won’t ventilate unless humidity and temperature settings are met, reducing home temperature and heat rise.
  • Reduced Humidity: Reduce humidity exposure to your home’s interior and foundation.
  • Removes Pollutants: Positive air pressure pushes allergens, chemicals, radon, VOCs, and other dangerous compounds out of the home.

Additional Features

  • Power Plug: Plug the five-foot, three-prong power cord into any standard NEMA 5-15 receptacle to power the air ventilator.
  • Temperature Control: Set the low (-10- to 40-degrees F) and high temperature (85- to 105-degrees F) presets for lockout.
  • Ducting Size: Use this ventilator with six-inch ducting.
  • Code Setting: Program your own presets without relative humidity limits for ASHRAE 62.2 ventilation.
  • Comfort Setting: Use pre-programmed low (10 - 30%) and high (45 - 70%) relative humidity ranges to limit ventilation.
  • Blend Air: Kicks on fan when outside temperature is outside the high or low temperature range.
  • Fresh Air LED: The fresh air LED illuminates when the ventilator is pumping fresh air.
  • Weight: The whole house ventilator only weighs 15 pounds.
  • UL-Certified: Designed for safety standards, this ventilator carries the UL-safety certification.
  • Warranty: The Aprilaire 8145A is backed by a 5-year warranty.
  • Dimensions: 12.25 W x 23.4 L x 11.75 H inches

Summary

Invigorate energy-efficient, tight homes with plentiful outside air using the powered Aprilaire 8145 fresh air ventilator, with Energy Star Most Efficient 2022 rating.

What Customer’s Love

  • Powered Ventilator: A powered blower enables more air intake versus ventilators that rely on return intakes on HVACs.
  • Mounting: Wall or ceiling mount with the included brackets and screws in any orientation.

Things to Consider

  • Return or Supply: Vent this ventilator into either the return or supply-side plenum of the home’s HVAC system.

    Every home needs one, provides numerous benefits

    I had the Aprilaire Fresh Air Ventilator installed next to my air handler in my attic. The price was reasonable and the install was simple. The controller that comes with it has all the features I need to schedule a fresh air exchange every hour in my home. The air quality in my home has improved significantly. I live very close to a busy highway so I don't open my windows when the weather is nice. Before the Aprilaire was installed, the atmosphere in my home was stale and stagnant and cooking smells lingered for days. Now with the Aprilaire working every hour, my homes feels fresher and healthier and it smells clean all the time. I never hear the unit running, it is so quiet. My power bills have not noticeably increased and I am 100% satisfied.

    I would buy this product again. I like Aprilaire Products.

    Very reasonably priced Ventilator that has both programmable modes and a basic timed override mode. This unit is very efficient regarding electricity usage. The only aspect that keeps from having 5 stars is that the fan could be quieter since it is evident in my return grill that is 15 feet away.

    Not sure

    Installed by builder. Maybe bad install. Any advise on dampening noise and vibration? It is mounted to floor joists.
