The Aprilaire Model 1700 Whole-House Dehumidifier works throughout your entire home. It’s Energy Star® rated, removing 50% more water per kilowatt hour than leading portable dehumidifiers.

The Model 1700 also features truly automatic control, so there’s never a need to manually control the dehumidifier—just set it once and forget it!

The Best Choice for healthy, comfortable air is the Model 1700 Whole-House Dehumidifier installed in your new or existing heating and cooling system. The benefits and results speak for themselves:

• Provides three times the moisture removing capacity of leading portable dehumidifiers—up to 90 pints or 11.25 gallons per day
   
• No messy tanks to fill and clean—ever
   
• Automatically senses moisture levels and maintains optimum humidity levels in your home, never too much, or too little and running only when needed
   
• Switches automatically between whole-house dehumidification when central air-conditioning system is running, and localized dehumidification when your air-conditioning isn’t running
   
• Convertible from whole-home to localized application lets you solve excess moisture issues where you need it most from crawl spaces to attics and basements
   
• Can be operated manually, allowing you to monitor and control moisture levels in a specific location—such as your basement or master bedroom (optional Living Space Control is required)

“Exposure to mold and dampness in homes as much as doubles the risk of asthma development in children. Anyone with young children in the home should be aware of the potentially harmful effects of long-term exposure to mold and this potential link to asthma in children.”

Which Model is Right For You?
The Aprilaire Models 1700 and 1720 Whole-House Dehumidifiers offer total comfort from the sticky, sweaty, and potentially unhealthy conditions caused by excess moisture. The 1700 and 1720 models differ only in capacity—with the model 1700 having a moisture removal capacity of up to 90 pints vs. the 1720 with total removal capacity of up to 150 pints per day.

Depending on the size, tightness, and/or age of your home as well as where you are geographically located will help in determining what size model is appropriate. Your best bet is to contact your local Aprilaire dealer to determine which model is best for your particular family’s and home’s needs.
