Most of us spend more than 90% of our time indoors with about 60% of that time spent at home. With today’s homes being built tight for energy efficiency, airborne pollutants, toxic fumes and lingering odors are trapped inside. Indoor air can be up to 20 times more polluted than the outdoor air. Poor indoor air quality can cause:

• Pollen, mold spores and pet dander can aggravate allergies and asthma systems.
• Excess moisture can cause mold and mildew resulting in musty odors and severe structural damage to windows and walls

While it’s not always possible to eliminate the source of indoor air pollution, there are some things that can be done.

A standard one inch filter captures less than 5% of the particles in the air. This leaves the other 95% to pollute the indoor air.

Many of these particles can aggravate allergies and contribute to illnesses such as colds or the flu.

Electronic air cleaners are the most effective way to filter very small particles such as pollen, pet dander, smoke, grease, bacteria, and even many viruses.
