Making your home "a healthy breath of fresh air" every day adds a lot to
the quality of your life.
According to the EPA, concentrations of toxic pollutants can be up to
one hundred times greater inside a home than outside, even in our
smoggiest cities. Complaints of stuffiness, unpleasant odors and illness
are common in houses that contain too little fresh air. Today's homes
can trap contaminants like formaldehyde, radon, and household chemicals.
The best solution for these and many other problems is a Whole-Home
Ventilation Control system.
Trade stale indoor air for fresh air all year round. Energy efficient
windows and doors, thicker insulation and air tight vapor barriers have
made homes more efficient, saving both energy and money. While this has
made many homes more efficient, it has also made it nearly impossible
for these homes to “breathe”, to expel the stale polluted indoor air and
exchange it for cleaner, fresher outdoor air.
“If too little outdoor air enters a home, pollutants can accumulate to
levels that can pose health and comfort problems. Unless they are built
with special mechanical means of ventilation, homes that are designed
and constructed to minimize the amount of outdoor air that can ’leak’
into and out of the home may have higher pollutant levels than other
homes. However, because some weather conditions can drastically reduce
the amount of outdoor air that enters a home, pollutants can build up
even in homes that are normally considered ’leaky.’”
- Core Benefits
Health
The American College of Allergists states that 50% of illnesses are
caused or aggravated by poor Indoor Air Quality—illnesses such as colds
and flu, allergies and asthma. Whole-House Ventilation puts dust,
pollen, mold, bacteria and viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
and other airborne pollutants where they belong—outside your home.
Comfort
Excess indoor humidity has perhaps the most negative impact on your
home’s comfort. Odors caused by pets, cooking and other everyday living
activities also contribute to general discomfort. Whole-House
Ventilation exchanges your home’s sticky, smelly air with fresh outdoor
air.
Protection
Excess indoor humidity provides the perfect breeding ground for mold and
mildew—which destroy the surfaces on which they grow. Excess indoor
humidity also causes condensation build-up on windows, destroying their
finishes and structural integrity. Whole-House Ventilation, especially
when combined with a dehumidifier, can be an effective means of
minimizing damage caused by too much moisture in your home.
Energy Savings
Whole-House Ventilation provides you with real energy savings, allowing
you to bring in the desired amount of fresh outdoor air into your
home—exactly when you want it. Whole-House Ventilation also prevents air
that is too hot or too cold from entering the home, keeping your heating
and cooling system from operating unnecessarily.
