Indoor Air Quality Solutions

Air quality is the least thought of factor when it comes to selecting HVAC equipment for the home, yet it is one that will affect your health and comfort the most. Humidity, air freshness and air purity all greatly affect your ability to stay healthy and to enjoy your home’s environment.

Consider these facts

• The Environmental Protection Agency has found that indoor air is, on average, two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. They rank indoor air pollution as one of the top five environmental risks to public health
• 99% of airborne particles are invisible to the naked eye. Many of these measure less than .3 microns, meaning they are most likely going to be inhaled
• 25% of the population suffers from some type of respiratory problem
• The very young, the elderly, smokers, and pregnant women are more prone to develop respiratory problems
• Most pollutants in your home cannot escape
• The American Medical Association reports 33% of our national health bill is directly related to indoor air pollution
• Billions of airborne pollutants are circulated in your home by your furnace. These include dust, dust mite feces, pollen, skin flakes, spores, mold, tobacco smoke, and exhaust from cooking and fireplaces
• The average adult breathes an average of 15,000 quarts of air daily. For children, the amount is even higher. For every 15,000 quarts inhaled per day, two tablespoons of particles are consumed
• Most people spend 90% of their time indoors
• The standard throw-away furnace filter traps only 15% of airborne pollutant particles
