EPA certification for wood stoves
Thursday, August 19th, 2010The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets standards for air quality–including limits on the amount of particulate matter (microscopic particles) emitted by fireplaces and stoves.

Indoor Air and Humidity
Monday, August 16th, 2010During the winter months as we’re sealed up in our homes trying to keep warm, a by-product occurs. The air inside our homes gets dry, and the overall quality of the air can suffer. The EPA estimates that our indoor air can in some instances be 10 times more polluted than the air outside. With a small investment you can improve the air quality in your home to help you breathe easier and also feel more comfortable. (more…)

Aprilaire Humidity Control
Monday, July 12th, 2010Your Aprilaire Humidifier shares your home’s relative humidity level with the system which allows the Model 6504 Panel to extend blower operation at the end of a heat call if the humidity set point was not reached during the call. When installed with an Aprilaire Energy Recovery Ventilator or an Aprilaire Ventilation Damper, the Model 6504 Panel will ensure the right quantity and quality of fresh air critical for your home’s comfort. The system can be set to circulate air periodically to extend air cleaner and humidifier performance.
Poor Air Quality Causes
Thursday, June 24th, 2010In an effort to save energy costs, new homes are being better sealed to prevent indoor air from escaping. Energy efficient windows and doors with double weather stripping are being installed in both new homes and older homes that are being remodeled. Insulation is thicker and the use of air-tight vapor barriers is more prevalent. Better caulk is sealing up cracks and other potential air leaks. While all this has made many homes more efficient, saving both energy and money, it has also made it nearly impossible for these homes to “breathe” – to expel stale, polluted indoor air and exchange it for cleaner, fresher outdoor air.
Recovery Ventilator Concerns
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Formaldehyde, radon, household chemicals, odors, cigarette smoke, and other contaminants are present in our homes. These substances have become the focus of studies by builders, remodelers, heating and ventilating contractors, and even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In fact, EPA studies prove that concentrations of toxic pollutants can be up to 10 times greater inside homes than outside, even in our smoggiest cities. And some of these pollutants have been known to cause headaches, nausea and possibly even cancer.
