Monitoring
When an HVAC system is paired with a monitor it can more effectively address poor air quality. Monitors are designed to identify and track particles, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds (TVOC’s) inside the home. When poor quality air is detected, monitors like the Lennox Smart Air Quality Monitor can trigger the HVAC system to cycle and clean the air, providing healthy, perfect air.

Ventilation
Homes that are tightly sealed continually recirculate indoor air, which can leave the home feeling stuffy. And attached garages can allow fumes and contaminants to seep inside. Lennox® whole-home Healthy Climate® ventilation systems replace stale indoor air with clean outdoor air, making homes feel fresher and more comfortable.
Heat Recovery Ventilators
Healthy Climate® Heat Recovery Ventilators offer effective ventilation for cold climates and provide a better way to enjoy natural ventilation.
Ideal for homes in cooler regions, Healthy Climate® HRV harnesses heat from inside the home and transfers it to incoming fresh air from outside. This process enhances the comfort and helps control wintertime condensation.
It also improves air quality by diluting contaminants and pollutants inside the home with fresh outdoor air.
Includes select Energy Star Certified models (Y6419, 17Y58 and 17Y52).
Energy Recovery Ventilators
Healthy Climate® Energy Recovery Ventilators offer effective ventilation for humid climates and provide a better way to enjoy natural ventilation.
Ideal for homes in warmer climates with mild winters, a Healthy Climate® ERV transfers moisture and heat from incoming fresh air to the outgoing airstream. But it's also cold climate certified for year-round comfort.
It also improves air quality by diluting contaminants and pollutants inside the home with fresh outdoor air.
Includes an Energy Star Certified model (17Y57).
Ventilation Control System
The Healthy Climate® LVCS Ventilation Control System is designed to work with the homes furnace and air handler. LVCS Ventilation Control Systems have automated controls that make it easy to improve the air quality of a home.

Humidification
When the home’s air is properly humidified, the whole home feels better. Healthy Climate® humidifiers help balance the humidity levels in the home, making it healthier and more comfortable. By integrating with the system, Lennox humidification systems eliminate the use of portable units that are less effective, consume more energy, and require routine maintenance. With proper humidity control, homeowners can also save on energy costs by making smaller adjustments to the temperature set points.
Healthy Climate, Bypass Humidifier
The Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Bypass Humidifier adds humidity to smaller homes in dry climates for enhanced air quality and comfort.
Indoor air that’s too dry isn’t comfortable, and it can also cause health problems like skin irritations and sore throats. A Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Bypass Humidifier works with the heating and cooling system to add up to 17 gallons moisture as needed to the home’s air, making it healthier and more comfortable.
Humidifiers also provide energy efficiency. Humidified air feels warmer, so homeowners can set their thermostat at a lower temperature and still feel comfortable. In fact, for every two degrees they lower the temperature during the winter, they can save around 8% on their heating bill.
Note for Canada: 17 gallons = 64 liters
Healthy Climate, Power Humidifier

1 Removal efficiency based on third party testing results using MS-2 bacteriophage (ATCC 15597-B1).
Bacteria representative of virus-sized particles like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. November
2020.
2 When used properly with other best practices recommended by CDC and others, filtration can be part of a
plan to reduce the potential for airborne transmission of COVID-19 indoors.
3 Not intended for actual hospital use. Based on Application Guidelines, Table 1, ASHRAE Application
Handbook, 2011.
4 Based on ozone removal testing conducted by third party testing results. May 2018.
5 Based on competitive benchmarking of MERV 16 filters, Healthy Climate® filters have the lowest air flow
restriction. Greater restriction of air flow creates a greater load on an HVAC unit’s fan motor,
increasing energy consumption.
