Sick & Tired of Allergies and Discomfort?

Your Home Can Be an Oasis of Comfort and Health

With one in five Americans suffering from allergies and approximately 75% of all U.S. homes having at least one person living in them with some sort of allergy or upper respiratory problem, many people are looking for something to help them relieve their breathing problems.

The good news is that by using a combination of common sense and properly applied air conditioning .and filtration technology your home can become an oasis of comfort and health

Breathe Easy at Home


There is much written about improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) but there are really only three ways to improve the quality of the air in your home. Following are some practical tips for improving your IAQ.

  • Source Control or Removal:


    • Reduce or remove elements that trigger asthma and allergy reaction. Keep pets outdoors, remove shoes before entering your home, and keep your environment clean.

    • Carpets trap dust and allergens; tile & wood floors are much easier to keep clean and can be done so with a damp mop. Most standard vacuums suck up large dust particles and stir up the smaller ones for you to breathe in.

    • If you must vacuum use a HEPA or central vacuum system. This helps eliminate those small airborne allergens.

    • Have you air conditioning system serviced annually. Air conditioning coils are breeding grounds for mold, bacteria and other allergens.

    • If your air conditioning system is 15 years or older consider replacing it. Today's air conditioners installed with a state of the art high efficiency filtration system delivers unparalleled comfort and can reduce your utility bills by as much as 50 percent


  • Dilution:


    • Home construction continues to improve in quality and energy efficiency; yet the majority of Americans don't realize that the air in their homes can pose health hazards. While airtight building methods have increased energy efficiency, they've also decreased the regular exchanges of air that made breathing better in older, draftier homes.


  • Ventilate:


    • With use of an outside air duct or Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) it's no longer necessary to open windows to ventilate your home. This is especially effective if you want to enjoy breathing filtered fresh air or if you are not comfortable leaving your widows open for security reasons (While you sleep for instance).


  • Filtration:


    • Strategic use of Air Filtration is one of the most practical and effective ways to improve the air in your home.

    • A whole house electronic air cleaner or high efficiency media filtration system is a great start. When used with an Ultra Violet Air Purifier this combination eliminates small particulate as well as harmful gases. This is one of the best and most affordable ways to filter and purify the air in your home.


HEPA Filtration - HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor) filters are the best means of filtering small particulate from the air. For the first time in the history of the heating & air conditioning industry a true HEPA filtration system is available. Newly developed products have made it possible to use this hospital grade filtration technology in homes today.
