In 1989 the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that our exposure to some air
pollutants can be up to 100 times greater indoors where most of us spend about
90% of our time than outdoors. The EPA now classifies IAQ as one of our most
important environmental concerns.
They found that Respiratory allergens and pollutants can trigger a wide range of
symptoms, including allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, headaches, fatigue, nausea,
depression, dermatitis, rash, sore throat, nasal congestion, and itchy or watery
eyes. The very young, the elderly, and the estimated 50 to 60 million
Americans and more than one billion people worldwide afflicted with
allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems are most severely affected.
“TOTAL COMFORT” is not just
balanced temperature throughout, it also includes what we breath and smell when
were at home such as those odors incurred with having
pets. Also not to be ignored as some do, is the proper level of moisture
for the human condition and the durability of our hardwood floors, wood doors,
solid wood furniture and antiques.
Below you will find three state-of-the-art products that when combined produce
one of the highest levels of comfort, safety and peace of mind for you and your
family. We begin with Particle Filtration, than add a Germicidal UV
Light. The system is than completed with a humidification device
that gives the balanced indoor air quality you deserve.

The Aprilaire®
Media Air Cleaner is a silent, low-maintenance, inexpensive air
filtration system. It utilizes a simple, remarkably effective HEPA-type
filtering media that actually improves its particulate-capturing
capability the longer it is used. For particles larger than five
microns, efficiency reaches 99%. Even the smallest particles, as small
as one micron, can be filtered out at 95% effectiveness. The
high-density filter unit is attached to your existing heating or cooling
system, where it captures pollutants from conditioned air before it is
distributed to the rooms of your home. |
| When properly
installed near the air conditioning coil, the Aprilaire UV Germicidal
Lamp kills the harmful growths and eliminates the odors associated with
this growth. It’s a great solution for well being throughout your
home. When the UV lamp eliminates biological growth
there’s much less wear and tear on your cooling compressor, extending
the life of your air conditioning equipment. |

The Aprilaire
Automatic Humidifier is the world’s first computer-equipped,
completely automated, “no touch” humidifier. It never needs constant
manual adjustments. The advanced computer technology measures the
outdoor temperature and indoor humidity over 86,000 times a day and
continually adjusts your homes indoor humidity to its optimum level. It
also performs at a level three times more accurate and four times more
reliable than other humidifiers. |
Virtually,
this system will remove all the dangers stated above by the
EPA, even in a smoking environment when properly operated and at the same time give you the pleasure of
enjoying the sensation of crisp clean fresh air. You will happily
note that the extreme conditions of a humid summer and a dry winter will stay
outside of the home where they belong.
