Product Description

Aprilaire 5000 Combination Electronic and Media Ducted Whole-House Air Cleaner has been rated #1 three years running by a leading products ratings magazine for some very good reasons: It electronically charges particles and traps them like a magnet better than any other air cleaner - using 72 square feet of Aprilaire-branded Model 501 filtering media. Aprilaire 5000 Air Cleaner is tried, true, and tested - delivering the highest efficiency possible. When installed by an HVAC professional as part of your central heating and cooling system, the Aprilaire 5000 Air Cleaner can help give you the cleanest, healthiest air in every room of your home. Through patented technology, particles entering the air cleaner pass through a control electrode, which focuses and intensifies an electrical field generated by ionizing wires. The particles are charged in the electrical field and then collected on grounded micro-fiber media. There is no monthly cleaning of collector plates like with other types of electronic air cleaners, in fact, in some homes the Aprilaire 5000 Air Cleaner's media needs to be changed only once a year. The Aprilaire 5000 Air Cleaner captures over 98% of airborne contaminants down to one micron in size. The Aprilaire 5000 Air Cleaner kills bacteria and spores and permanently traps particles, leaving absolutely no chance of them being released back into the air. The Aprilaire 5000 Combination Electronic and Media Whole-House Air Cleaner requires as little as once a year service that takes as little as 20 minutes and yet it will work silently and invisibly so you'll dust less often. The Aprilaire 5000 Air Cleaner works throughout your whole home cleaning every room. The Aprilaire 5000 Air Cleaner keeps dust and dirt from building up on your heating and cooling equipment which helps ensure the equipment runs at peak efficiency which will maximize the life of your valuable asset. This is a post recall unit with a current manufacturing date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Been a 1 year = works great and worth every penny, July 25, 2011
This review is from: Aprilaire 5000 Media and Electrostatic Whole-House Air Cleaner with Digital Control (Misc.)
We moved into a new house and had to replace both furnaces (yes - both - so cost was X2). A much respected HAC company recommended these Aprilaire 5000. I was a little reluctant given the cost (especially x 2) - but, my wife had bad allergies at our old house. I knew it would be expensive, but if it worked, then it would be worth every penny.

Well........... it did !! Her headaches and overall allergies have been gone for the past 1 year. However, her allergies have returned, but I am 95% sure its my fault since I have not changed the filter in 1 year (since we bought them). I remember the guy telling me that you have to change them at least once a year, and if you don't, then you will know it !! I know it now - just ordered new filters.

I normally don't write reviews, but I know I was VERY reluctant at the time, and there were not many reviews.......... plus, these units are not cheap ......... but I am happy to say, I love both our units (they cycle... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Installed Inside At Primary Filter, September 12, 2011

This review is from: Aprilaire 5000 Media and Electrostatic Whole-House Air Cleaner with Digital Control (Misc.)
In my case I needed to install the Aprilaire 5000 inside the house, just behind the primary air filter. I have one of those "package" A/C units with everything outside the house except for the filter for the return air. So I really needed to install the electronic air cleaner inside away from the elements.

The Aprilaire 5000 was install by removing the existing ducting behind the primary filter and fabricating a new duct to allow the air cleaner to be installed in the path of the air flow. I already had power in this location and the thermostat was just above the filter location. Hookup was simple and without incident. The only issue was that the power for the air cleaner needs to be switched depending on the A/C unit fan operation.

Instead of using the Aprilaire fan switch as recommended by Aprilaire, which assumes your electronic air filter will be installed near the A/C components, I decided that a "sail switch" would be preferred as it could turn on the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great air cleaner (don't call it a filter!), September 27, 2011

ha... I suppose you can call it an air filter... but they say Air Cleaner...

I ordered this to add to my old furnace, but then decided to upgrade the furnace too. So I had the HVAC guy put it in when they installed the new furnace.

Then we had the ducts cleaned too.

All the HVAC guys and the duct cleaner guy made comments about this being a great air cleaner.

We've been using it for a few weeks now and it seems to work just fine. Our new furnace has the variable speed blower so we just leave the blower on 24-7 (it runs at very low speed till the furnace or AC kicks on)

Because of this, we aren't using the fancy air cleaner control right now... so I can't comment on that.

I also can't comment yet about filter life.

But one interesting thing... the filter comes in a little box... its not in a cardboard frame like you might be used to seeing with standard filters (when I first opened the air cleaner I thought... Read more
