The visible household dust particles, and nearly all pollen and spore particles, therefore, can be caught and permanently held, very easily, if you can get them to the air cleaner. With central high efficiency air cleaners, the blower of your heating/air conditioning system performs the air movement function.

Continuous air cleaning will be accomplished when your thermostat is set for continuous air circulation. If continuous air cleaning is not required, or desired, you can manually set your control for any time period you desire. Many thermostats have a switch position for manual fan. “Automatic” turns on the blower only when heating or cooling is required. “Fan” or “manual” allows you to control blower operation.

For those who choose periodic cleaning, (as opposed to continuous cleaning through continuous furnace blower operation), the most important period is during — and for several hours after — vacuuming your home. The vacuuming process (unless you have a central vacuum system) stirs up a large volume of dust particles which must be drawn into your air cleaner.

Many of the dust particles generated, while vacuuming, are so heavy they “fall” out of the airstream before they can be drawn out of your living area. This is why it is important to do household dusting several hours after vacuuming. Normally once the heavy particles “fall out”, they are only reintroduced to the air by vacuuming, or similarly vigorous activity.

Where allergy symptoms, which are aggravated by pollens and spores, are a concern, continuous cleaning is strongly encouraged.

To recap, when removing household dust is the major benefit you are seeking, you should operate your air cleaner during and following periods when dust is being generated or “stirred up”. For pollens and spores which aggravate an allergy condition, your cleaner must be operated continuously when these pollutants are in the environment. The air cleaner can only be effective when air containing the contaminants is drawn through the high efficiency media.

2250 & 2400 specifications

Aprilaire has long been a leader in indoor air quality solutions, and the Aprilaire 2250 and 2400 models are prime examples of their dedication to innovation and efficiency in whole-house humidification. Each of these models is designed to provide optimal humidity levels, enhancing comfort and protecting your home from the detrimental effects of dry air.

The Aprilaire 2250 is an advanced whole-house evaporative humidifier that offers a capacity of up to 12 gallons of moisture per day. It is ideal for homes up to 4,200 square feet, making it suitable for medium to large residences. One of its standout features is the built-in adjustable humidistat, which allows homeowners to set precise humidity levels according to their preferences. This ensures that the indoor environment remains comfortable throughout the year.

The Aprilaire 2400, on the other hand, is designed for larger homes, capable of handling up to 17 gallons of moisture per day. It is suited for homes up to 6,200 square feet and incorporates advanced features for efficient performance. A significant characteristic of the 2400 model is its self-regulating capabilities, which enable it to adapt to the varying conditions in your home, maintaining consistent humidity levels regardless of changes outside.

Both models utilize evaporative technology, which draws in household air and passes it through a moistened filter. As the air flows through, it absorbs moisture, effectively raising the humidity level before circulating back into the home. This method is energy-efficient and prevents the over-saturation of humidity that can occur with other types of humidifiers.

Additionally, the Aprilaire 2250 and 2400 are equipped with easy-to-clean components, ensuring that maintenance is straightforward. Their durable construction promises longevity, making them a wise investment for homeowners concerned about air quality.

In summary, the Aprilaire 2250 and 2400 models offer advanced features and technologies tailored for comprehensive humidification. With adjustable settings, self-regulating functions, and energy-efficient evaporative technology, both humidifiers stand out in the market. Homeowners can enjoy enhanced comfort while protecting their living spaces, ultimately leading to a healthier indoor environment through optimal humidity control.
