Most allergies are caused by pollen or mould spores, but there are up to 72 trillion allergens found in most homes. These can range from pet dander floating in the air to dust mites in bedding, upholstery, and other soft material to VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) off-gassing from plastics, carpets, furniture, vinyl floors and even dry-cleaned clothing all of which can become airborne and generate irritating particles.

And then there’s the dust. The average home generates about 40 pounds of dust per year per 1,400 square feet of space. Add to this the other allergic materials mentioned above and combine it with more modern airtight construction, and you have a recipe for poor indoor air quality that requires a solution that most current appliances simply cannot deliver.

Fortunately, there are now several highly effective products available that can significantly improve the indoor air quality of your home or business. You can now choose from flow-through filters that can be installed with your new furnace or as an add-on to your existing system. Additionally there are several types of bypass and portable HEPA filters available, as well as advanced UV light technology, all designed to improve your indoor air quality. We will recommend the right solution based on your individual requirements, existing appliances and budget.
