The Model 5000 whole house Electronic Air Cleaner, a market pioneer, is Aprilaire's most effective design. Combines electrostatic technology with a conventional air filter. Only one annual maintenance visit is necessary for the Model 5000. Includes patented, ground-breaking "electrically enhanced air filtration" technology, which offers a special blend of electronic and media ai cleaner properties to remove 98% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 micron. These are minuscule particles, 100 times smaller than a human hair, such as:
- Allergens such as pollen, dust, dust mites, mold, ragweed, and pet dander
- Airborne bacteria, viruses, and germs
- Smoke and other particle-based fumes
Maximum airflow capacity of 2000 CFM. The
Media 501 MERV 10 Air Filter Media performs similarly to MERV 15 when used properly with the Model 5000 Air Cleaner according to performance testing conducted in accordance with AHRI 680 Standard.
The Aprilaire 5000 does not include an air flow sensor. The air flow sensor would turn on the 5000 only then there is air flow. New furnaces provide a 120v connection to power an air cleaner only when the blower is running (see the schematic pasted on the inside of your blower compartment). The optional
Model 51 could otherwise be used.
The Aprilaire 5000 is rated #1 by the leading product magazine for 3 years running.
