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 every half an hour - I have not noticed any material change in the electric bill). If you have allergies, I would give it a try. Worse case, and if does not work, then you spent a little more, and just leave the unit turned off, and just use it as a "regular" passive filter (that is the other thing I like - at the end of the day, you can just leave it off and run as a regular filter).

FYI - ended up buying the unit from someone else who was not familiar with the these units. Have your contractor review the wiring carefully. This are not normal airlifters in that they are passive, instead they control your furnace, which is different than what most HAC contractors are use to. Took my guy about 3 tries to get it right !!

UPDATE - March 25, 2013.

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 they forgot to include the filter!)

The filter is all collapsed (like an accordion) and you have to install it into the plastic frame. This is pretty easy to do - you just snap on the top and bottom and then insert a bunch (6 maybe?) of plastic combs between the filter pleats to hold them in the proper position. The filter is about 4" or 5" thick... which creates a lot of surface area for collecting dust and whatnot. (standard filters are only 1" thick)

Once you have it in place, you snap the ends of the plastic box shut... they have foam or something on them so they seal up tight against the ends of the filter medium to prevent any air from "bypassing" the filter.

I mainly mention this for those that might wonder why replacement filters are only like $25 (last I checked)...

Purchased my Aprilaire Air Cleaner Model 5000 in April of this year with new AC and furnace. First off, this thing is huge, and is more than adequate for filtering the air my house. I am already seeing a difference with less dust in the house. Also has a decent warranty, and I especially like the one-touch control that comes with this unit. Very nice unit, as it's also highly recommended by Consumer Report.

The entire family seems to be suffering even more from allergies lately. We decided to install an Aprilaire 5000 in both the downstairs system and upstairs system. The units were professionally installed in additional to an Aprilaire 700 humidifier in the downstairs system.

It has been 3 weeks since the installation and dust certainly appears to be greatly reduced. We're very pleased with the results so far.

I plan to provide further updates.

Purchased these for each of my furnaces 2 years ago and have been very pleased. It cleared up the allergens in my house air totally. Previous issues with allergies have disappeared.

The only probleme I have had is that the electronics fails to turn on-which you need for the electrostatic filter to work at its 90% effecincy, otherwise it is only 80%. Appears that the electronics is very susceptible to the filter door being not properly seated, so must be careful when replacing door after a filter change.

Filters are easily procured via internet at $60/for two and they last for a full year
Highly recommend this filter-it works as advertised.
