Important facts about air quality:

• Most people spend 60% to 90% of their time indoors
• 50% of all illnesses are caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air
• More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies
• One out of six people who suffer from allergies do so because of the direct relationship to fungus and bacteria in the air duct systems. (Total health and better health magazines)
• Children and the elderly are especially affected by polluted indoor air. (Department of Consumer Affairs)

Causes of Air Pollutants in Your Home:

The dark, damp, dusty climate of your ventilation system is an ideal breeding ground for molds, fungi, bacteria, mite droppings and many other harmful allergens.

These contaminants get a free ride to every room in your house each time the system cycles on. Since the air from a contaminated duct system is being recirculated, endless dusting and vacuuming only offers temporary relief.

Here are a few indoor air quality products that we offer - contact us for an IAQ test so we can let you know what your home needs for improved air quality.

Performance Series Humidifiers

The relative humidity in the Sahara Desert is 25%, but did you know your winter household humidity might be as low as 5 - 15%? Overly dry air can cause itchy, cracked skin, dry nasal passages, annoying shocks from static electricity and cracked woodwork. Adding a Carrier humidifier will add comfort to your home and eliminate these irritating conditions for your family.

Efficiency and effectiveness

• As the moisute from indoor air evoporates, the temperature in your home feels colder. In the winter, that means you will likely turn up the thermostat to feel warmer, so your system will use extra energy. By putting moisture back in the air, a Carrier humidifier allows you to remain comfortable at a lower thermostat setting, which lowers your energy costs.

Improved Air Quality

• More airborn moisture means less opportunity for dust and other irritants to circulate, so you'll experience improved air quality.
• Properly humidified air helps reduce nasal dryness, helping your family breathe easier.
• Less static electricity creates a more comfortable envirnment for everyone in your household.
