Aprilaire 3410 Air Purifier: Trusted Review & Specs

Let’s give it an honest Aprilaire 3410 Review to see what makes it different from old Aprilaire 1410 and Aprilaire 2410.

Update: If you are looking for a common console air purifier for large rooms, you should check the Aprilaire 9550V.

The last air cleaner in the 3000 series of Aprilaire is again, a boxed Aprilaire 2410 with packaged thermostat. Honestly, if you jump here from the review of Model 2410, you can completely skip the Aprilaire 3410 Review.

Aprilaire 3410 Price

When purchasing an Aprilaire whole-home air cleaning system, everyone should know the difference between the 1000, 2000, and 3000 series models. In this case, how do I distinguish Aprilaire 3410 from its predecessors?

In short, the Aprilaire 3410 is the Aprilaire 2410 with a packaged thermostat, adding the MERV-13 air filter inside, while the Aprilaire 1410 only has a MERV-11 filter.

The Aprilaire 3410 is officially priced at $154, which is $25 more than the previous model. Perhaps we can understand the increase in price because the newer model has a programmable thermostat that gives you complete digital control over your HVAC system and air cleaner.

It is still cheaper than the Honeywell F200 out there while being smarter. However, the Honeywell F200 can be quickly upgraded to the Honeywell F300, while you need to buy the Aprilaire 5000 all by yourself.

Aprilaire 3410 Design and Size

Quick comparison for design of Aprilaire 3410 with models 1410, and 2410.

Width (inches)	6.75	6.75	6.75
Depth (inches)	30	30	30
Weight (lbs)	17	17	17

As you can see, the Aprilaire 3410 is completely the same as the Aprilaire 1410 and Aprilaire 2410 in terms of size. All these ducted air purifiers have a height of 17.75 inches, a width of 6.75 inches, and a depth of 30 inches. Aprilaire 3410 weighs exactly 17 lbs.

In addition, the Aprilaire 3410 will use the same 16 x 25 air filter as previous models. The UL-classified cabinet is made of corrosion-resistant, heavy-gauge, pre-painted steel. Moreover, the air cleaner has a proprietary door design and Self-Seal technology to eliminate unfiltered air bypass, delivering MERV performance as rated.

Aprilaire 3410 Filters

For the core power, the Aprilaire 3410 is, again, exactly like the Aprilaire 2410, as well as others in the 3000 series.

1. HEPA filter – Just like other HVAC system’s filter, Aprilaire 3410 will use the MERV-13 air filter, which can remove 98% of pollen and mold, 97% of airborne bacteria and fungi, 96% of pet dander and other dust. Moreover, it can filter out nearly 75% of tobacco smoke and smog.

We can easily see the difference between the MERV-13 air filter and the original MERV-11 air filter from Aprilaire 1410, as below.

The MERV-13 air filter has a higher efficiency for trapping ultrafine particles than the MERV-11 air filter. Moreover, you can use both air filters, depending on your needs. Both are simple to install in the cabinet of Aprilaire 3410.

If you want to buy the filter replacement, you will need $59 for the 413 air filter (MERV-13 rating). Otherwise, you only need to pay $52 for the 410 air filter (MERV-11 rating).

Aprilaire 3410 Room Coverage

All air purifiers under the 3000 series, including the Aprilaire 3410, are able to work with the whole-home HVAC system and can clean rooms up to 2000 square feet easily.

The Aprilaire 3410 is not a common air purifier with fan power, so we can’t measure its ACH and CADR rating.

Aprilaire 3410 Sound

Without fan power, the Aprilaire 3410 won’t produce any noise. And actually, the Aprilaire 3410 will work in unison with your existing heating, ventilating, and cooling system (HVAC) to filter all contaminants in your air, so there is no way you can see it in your living areas.

So to say, this isn’t even a selling point of Aprilaire 3410, and you should bypass this section at all.

Aprilaire 3410 Power Consumption

One of our most FAQs is “Do air purifiers use a lot of energy?” In fact, air purifiers must be used for a long time to be efficient. And power consumption is one important criterion to review to determine if this air purifier is good or not.

However, the Aprilaire 3410 is just a cabinet with one air filter. It doesn’t need electricity, and you don’t need to check its power consumption.

Aprilaire 3410 Additional Features

Aprilaire 3410 comes with a Model 8476 Universal Programmable Thermostat. It is installed remotely to give you complete digital control over your HVAC system and air cleaner. It can offer these advantages:

• Easy temperature control – Now you can heat or cool your home with full control from the conventional thermostat’s display. On its 4.5-inch LCD screen, it will give you information on the temperature indoors and outdoors.
• Event-based air cleaning – There are four different options to select for your home’s air. You can select to run continuously 24/7, in Auto Mode (which runs for only 30 minutes every hour), in Event-Based Cleaning (which runs for 3 hours then returns to the most recent mode), or in Allergy Operation (which runs for 24 hours then returns to the most recent mode).
• Programmable Options – Turn on or off the HVAC system for weekdays and weekends. Very convenient.
• Service Reminder Alert – Get regular alerts for service of both your HVAC system and air cleaner, mainly for optimal performance.
• Permanent memory – The Aprilaire 3410 will remember all thermostat programming, time, and date during a power outage.
