Filtration

Mild temperatures create the temptation to let the fresh air inside your home. But along with fresh air, you may welcome in pollen, allergens, and more. Over-the-top spring cleaning alone can’t ensure improved indoor air quality. If standard HVAC air filters aren’t doing the job, ultraviolet (UV) purification products installed on HVAC equipment may elevate your indoor air quality.

A UV purification system uses ultraviolet light technology to help deactivate microbial contaminants, without harsh chemicals. For almost 100 years, ultraviolet lamps have been used in a wide range of sterilization applications, including water treatment, food processing and disinfection of hospital equipment.

Now that’s a breath of fresh air!

Dehumidification

During the spring and summer months, heat can be accompanied by high humidity. Air conditioners or heat pumps may remove some of the indoor humidity as it cools your indoor spaces, but depending on the steamy circumstances, it may not be enough!

A whole-house dehumidifier can make your home comfortable when indoor humidity levels are an issue! High indoor humidity (the amount of moisture or water vapor in the air) can make your home feel very uncomfortable. Excessive levels may affect electrical equipment, expensive heirloom furniture, musical instruments, and more. 

A dehumidifier may:

• Lower the relative humidity in your home to a comfortable level

• Reduce the cold, clammy feeling that comes from lowering the temperature on your thermostat to reduce the humidity level in your home

• Help create an environment where dust mites struggle to survive.⁶

• Help protect your hardwood flooring from warping
