Humidifying Your Home with the New AprilAire 720 Series Humidifier

Why Proper Home Humidification Matters for Greater Binghamton Homeowners

As winter settles over Greater Binghamton, many homeowners notice the uncomfortable effects of dry indoor air—static electricity, dry skin, irritated sinuses, and even cracked woodwork. What most don't realize is that maintaining proper humidity levels isn't just about comfort; it's essential for your family's health and your home's protection. At ANC Heating and Air Conditioning, we've been helping homeowners maintain optimal indoor air quality for over 57 years, and today we're excited to introduce the new AprilAire 720 Series Humidifier.

Understanding the AprilAire 720 Series: Next-Generation Humidification

The AprilAire 720 Series represents the pinnacle of whole-home humidification technology. As AprilAire's highest capacity evaporative humidifier available, this innovative system delivers maximum moisture output while conserving water more efficiently than previous models. The revolutionary HydroCore™ Technology recirculates water to maximize moisture output while reducing wastewater by an impressive 60% compared to previous models.

Key Features That Set the 720 Series Apart

The AprilAire 720 Series isn't just another humidifier—it's a complete home comfort solution with several groundbreaking innovations:

• HydroCore™ Technology: This revolutionary system recirculates water to maximize moisture output while reducing wastewater by an impressive 60% compared to previous models.
• Variable Speed Fan Operation: Run the system at low speed for quieter operation or high speed for maximum humidity output of up to 21 gallons per day.
• Flexible Installation Options: The reconfigurable fan design allows for installation on both vertical and horizontal systems, making it adaptable to virtually any HVAC setup.
• One-Piece HydroCore™: Simplifies annual maintenance with an easy-to-replace core.
• Direct Plenum Heat Utilization: Pulls heat directly from your furnace plenum for efficient operation.
• Superior Coverage: Designed specifically for tightly constructed homes up to 6,250 square feet.

The system offers variable speed fan operation, allowing you to run it at low speed for quieter operation or high speed for maximum humidity output of up to 21 gallons per day. Its reconfigurable fan design provides flexible installation options on both vertical and horizontal systems, making it adaptable to virtually any HVAC setup. The one-piece HydroCore™ simplifies annual maintenance, and the unit pulls heat directly from your furnace plenum for efficient operation. With coverage for homes up to 6,250 square feet, it's ideal for most Greater Binghamton residences.

Health Benefits of Proper Home Humidification

Maintaining optimal humidity levels between 30-50% in your home can provide numerous health benefits that Greater Binghamton families appreciate, especially during our long, dry winters:

1. Reduced Respiratory Issues: Proper humidity levels help keep mucous membranes moist, reducing susceptibility to colds, flu, and respiratory infections.
2. Alleviated Allergy and Asthma Symptoms: Controlled humidity can reduce airborne allergens like dust mites and pet dander that thrive in dry environments.
3. Better Sleep: Moisturized air reduces snoring and throat irritation that can disrupt sleep patterns.
4. Faster Recovery from Illness: When you're sick, humidity helps soothe irritated nasal passages and throats, potentially speeding up recovery time.

Home Protection Benefits

Beyond health advantages, maintaining proper humidity protects your home investment:

• Preserved Wood Furnishings: Prevents expensive wood floors, furniture, and musical instruments from cracking or warping.
• Extended HVAC System Life: Reduces stress on your heating system since properly humidified air feels warmer at lower temperatures.
• Reduced Static Electricity: Eliminates annoying static shocks and potential damage to sensitive electronics.
• Protected Wall Integrity: Prevents drywall from cracking due to excessive dryness.

Why the AprilAire 720 Series Is Ideal for Greater Binghamton Homes

Our region's winters bring particular challenges for indoor air quality. With average January temperatures often dipping below 20°F, our homes face months of extremely dry indoor air due to constant heating. The AprilAire 720 Series was designed with exactly these conditions in mind. The unit's 21 GPD capacity ensures sufficient humidity even during the coldest days when outdoor air contains minimal moisture. Its water conservation features are especially valuable for homeowners concerned about environmental impact and utility costs.

Professional Installation and Simple Maintenance

While the AprilAire 720 Series represents the best in humidification technology, proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Our NATE-certified technicians ensure your system is correctly sized for your specific home needs, properly integrated with your existing HVAC system, and equipped with the right control system (automatic or manual humidistat).

One of the most appealing aspects of the AprilAire 720 Series is its user-friendly maintenance requirements. Annual maintenance simply involves replacing the HydroCore™, brushing away any scale buildup, and inspecting the drain line and orifice. Our service team can handle this maintenance as part of your regular HVAC system checks, or we can show you how to perform these simple tasks yourself.

Is the AprilAire 720 Series Right for Your Home?

The ideal humidification system depends on several factors specific to your home, including square footage, building construction tightness, and your current HVAC configuration. Our comfort specialists can evaluate your home's unique needs and recommend the perfect humidification solution. For many Greater Binghamton homeowners, the AprilAire 720 Series represents the gold standard in whole-home humidification technology.

Unlike portable humidifiers that treat single rooms, whole-home systems like the AprilAire 720 Series work with your HVAC system to distribute humidity evenly throughout your entire home, requiring far less maintenance and providing more consistent results. The minimal water usage is far outweighed by the energy savings and health benefits, and the system can be controlled precisely with either an automatic or manual humidistat.
