Are Dust and Pollen making you sneeze? Is the sight of mold making you green? Whatever problem you're having with your home's air, we have the perfect. We offer a selection of indoor air quality products no one else can match—including air purification systems, air cleaners, filtration systems, humidity-control systems and ventilation systems.

According to the EPA - "Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the home. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants."

How Can I Control The Quality of My Air?

There are three main strategies to control your Indoor Air Quality, the 1st, and usually the most effective, is "Source Control". This involves trying to eliminate individual sources of pollution or to reduce their emissions. In many cases, source control is also a more cost-efficient approach to protecting indoor air quality than increasing ventilation because, unless an Energy Recovery Ventilator is installed, increasing ventilation can increase energy costs.

Increase Ventilation Levels

The 2nd strategy is increased Ventilation Levels, or more simply, bring more Outside Air into your Home. In most cases, your Home's Heating & Cooling Systems, will not have the proper equipment and controls to bring fresh air into the house. A Mechanical Ventilation System can be added to bring in controlled amounts of outside air when needed. A system that includes an energy-efficient Energy Recovery Ventilator, also known as air-to-air heat exchanger can provide this outside air while reducing Energy costs by up to 80%.

High Efficiency Air Filtration

The 3rd strategy is filtration - There are many types Air Cleaners available, ranging from relatively inexpensive table-top models to highly efficient whole-house systems. Some air cleaners are highly effective at particle removal, while others, including most table-top models, are much less so. Air cleaners, with the exception of the Lennox PureAirTM Air Purification System are generally not designed to remove gaseous pollutants.

The effectiveness of any Air Cleaner depends on how efficiently it removes pollutants from indoor air, expressed in a MERV Ratings (A higher MERV Rating removes smaller particles) and how much air it draws through the cleaning or filtering element. A very efficient collector with a low air-circulation rate, such as table top models, will not be effective, nor will a cleaner with a high air-circulation rate and a low MERV Rating. The long-term performance of any air cleaner depends on maintaining it according to the manufacturer's directions.
