Before you buy

  • AprilAire publishes only the legacy 80°F rating; there's no 65°F or 73°F figure and the E070 isn't on ENERGY STAR's list, so don't line its 70 up against current-test ratings.
  • The warranty is void if defects result from not installing per AprilAire's instructions, and AprilAire recommends a professional install; labor is never covered.
  • E070 Pro is an Amazon listing name, not an AprilAire model.
  • Used units from private sellers or auction sites aren't covered.
