ARE YOU BREATHING "BAD AIR"???
Beginning in the early 1970's, the home construction industry began to transition to more energy efficient designs. Homes are simply built better in regards to air leakage into, or out of, the home.

The result is that most homes built in the last 25 years or so are much "tighter" than ones built previously. While this has resulted in a much higher level of energy efficiency and savings, it has inadvertently resulted in reduced fresh air exchange rates. Polluted air winds up being trapped inside the home waiting to be inhaled by the occupants.

Indoor Air Quality, as a direct result, has now become a major issue in the housing industry. Airborne sicknesses have suddenly found the perfect environment in which to thrive. Many bacteria and viruses, such as common cold and tuberculosis simply wait to be inhaled by an infected person and then inhaled by the next unsuspecting person. These types of organisms can thrive on the inside of heating and air conditioning systems causing numerous health problems if the systems are improperly installed and/or maintained.

Don't continue to put your family at risk by delaying an evaluation of your home. The solution to almost all Indoor Air Quality issues is very straightforward if properly diagnosed and corrected. You owe it to yourself and your family to have fresh, uncontaminated air that is breathable and as free of contaminants and pollutants as possible!

• The Center for Disease Control - According to the CPC, airborne contaminants "may be transported to other areas via the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and subsequently affect populations beyond the immediate project area."

• The EPA - According to the EPA, "Asthma afflicts about 20 million Americans, including 6.3 million children. Since 1980, the biggest growth in asthma cases has been in children under five. In 2000 there were nearly 2 million emergency room visits and nearly half a million hospitalizations due to asthma, at a cost of almost $2 billion, and causing 14 million school days missed each year."

CONTROLLING YOUR AIR QUALITY
Don't just sit around and keep breathing in all those nasty air pollutants inside your home. Help fight off common colds, viruses, and allergies in your home by increasing the quality of your indoor air. You can do many different things to help reduce the pollutants in the air inside of your home.

Below are some products that we can provide that can help you keep your air clean:

• HEPA Air Filtration: Defined by the CDC as "Type of air filter that removes >99.97% of particles 0.3 um or larger at a specified flow rate of air." This is typically recognized as the highest level of filtration possible and is considered Hospital Grade filtration.
• Electrostatic Air Cleaner: Defined as a particulate collection device that removes particles from a flowing gas (such as air) using the force of an induced electrostatic charge. Typically remove particles at a 70% efficiency rate.
• High Efficiency Media Air Cleaner: Will remove small breathable particles and other airborne pollutants larger than one micron. ( Non-Ozone Emitting)
• Electronic Air Cleaner: Will remove small breathable particles and other airborne pollutants larger than one micron. (Emits Ozone)
• Humidification: The process of adding moisture to the air, usually performed during winter. Generally, this practice will reduce the chance of upper respiratory problems caused by dry air. An indirect benefit is that you will feel warmer and will, thus, be able to use less energy due to lower temperature settings for your heating system.
• Ultra Violet Air Disinfectant System: Uses high intensity UltraViolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, and other living microorganisms. This system is commonly used in conjunction with a high quality filter.
