Wednesday, August 18th, 2010Their products install into your new or existing heating and cooling system and work invisibly, silently and automatically to treat your indoor air 24/7/365 days a year.

Monday, May 31st, 2010How to Choose a Humidifier
Thursday, May 20th, 2010When you consider buying a humidifier, be sure to check on these key points:
Capacity – The unit should be able to maintain the correct humidity for you home and construction.
Control – Newer controls are completely automatic and do not require frequent adjustments.
Sturdy Construction – The unit should be constructed out of rust and corrosion proof materials to ensure it will serve a long life.
Maintenance – An installed central humidifier requires no manual filling. They normally only require draining once or twice a year.
Safety – Be sure to select a humidifier with a wet pad design that introduces humidity as a vapor to eliminate dust or bacteria that would be emitted into the air stream.
Humidity, Temperature, Comfort
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010Hot summer air usually has high humidity, and a person’s ability to throw off heat by evaporation decreases or stops altogether. Cooling is needed then to provide comfort by extracting excessive moisture from the air. During the winter, the condition is reversed. Cold outside air, heated to room temperature, has great ability to hold extra moisture. For example, air at 70F can hold about 20 times as much as air at 0F. Heated wintertime air takes moisture from whatever sources are available, including the human body. If the air in your home does not contain enough moisture, you may feel cold and uncomfortable – even at 75F.
