Indoor Air Quality
3 Danger Levels
Room vs.Whole-House Air Cleaning
Everyone is familiar with advertisements for "room air cleaners," those quiet machines that claim to clean the air in one room of your home. However, the facts show that unlessyou have a "whole-house" Indoor Air Quality strategy, you are making only marginal differences in the quality of the air in your home. For example, if you wanted to heat your home, would you purchase individual heaters for each room? Not only would that be uneconomical, it could potentially be dangerous. The same concept can be applied to indoor air - do you want a device for each room, or a whole-house strategy that works in conjunction with your existing heating and air conditioning system?

Tight Home Syndrome
Since the energy crisisof the early 70's, homes have been built much more tightly to conserve energy by keeping cold air out in the winter and hot air out in the summer. While this does conserve energy it also causes Tight Home Syndrome, locking in dirty, sick and stale air. This indoor air pollution is categorized by the CDC into three different danger levels. EPAstates indoor air is 2 - 5 times worse and can be as much as 100 times worse than outside air. So - if your home is so weather-tight, how did the pollution get in? Houses normally "breathe," allowing air to flow in and out. A tight home, by design, reduces the amount of air exchange. As a result, indoor allergens and particulates become trapped inside the home and the resulting accumulation levels can cause health problems.
