We spend a lot of time indoors, it makes sense to have an indoor environment
that's healthy and comfortable. Proper ventilation,air
cleaning and humidity control can make a big difference in your family's
comfort and health. Three ways to help with IAQ (indoor air quality)
are:
Control, Filter, and Refresh.
Control - Control Humidity in the home with
Humidifiers provided by Carrier and Aprilaire. Humidifiers come in fan
powered or bypass type with up to 25 gallons per day performance on
some models.

Filter - Air filtration is
very important to proactive IAQ strategies Study after study shows that
as homes become tighter and more energy efficient, more contaminants
become trapped inside. The air
we breathe in our homes is loaded with pollutants like pollen, lung
damaging dust, pet hair, dander, dust mites, tobacco smoke, spores,
disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Considering the typical throwaway
furnace filter only traps about 5 - 15% of these polluting particles
and that the slightest traces of pollutants can trigger miserable reactions
for allergy sufferers, you need serious help. In todays world,
a
whole-house, high efficiency air cleaner is the best system to get the
job done. Carrier offers a Mechanical Filter add on for higher performance
application vs. the standard 1" filter at the furnace an expandable
mechanical filter and an electronic air cleaner. Multiple sizes of each
of the filter products are available to collect unwanted particles in
the air stream

Refresh - Ventilators are designed
to bring in fresh outside air and expel unwanted indoor air while recovering
energy from the indoor air. Products range from 150 cfm units up to
330 cfm units. According to the EPA, concentrations of toxic pollutants
can be up to ten times greater inside a home than outside, even in our
smoggiest cities. And todays homes, while more energy efficient,
are tighter and can trap contaminants like formaldehyde, radon, and
household chemicals. What better way to ensure the constant moving of
clean, fresh air into your home than with an Energy Recovery Ventilator
system designed to let your house breathe? It's like opening a window
without losing energy.
