If the air in a home is sick, so is the home!
Proper ventilation can help with these common household issues.
The EPA states the air inside our homes is up to 5X dirtier than outside our homes!
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, 330 Million people were told to wear masks OUTSIDE their homes!
Which begs to question...why would we remove our masks when we enter our homes?

The solution for pollution is dilution... there is nothing that replaces fresh air!
While the HVAC system alone cannot prevent the transmission of coronavirus, the industry’s professional association ASHRAE (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) has recommended fresh air ventilation, filtration (which includes sterilization) and humidity control to help a home’s HVAC system reduce infectious airborne particulate
The Solution...Supply Ventilation
Supply Ventilation, is defined by bringing fresh air into the home using the existing HVAC duct system.
- The best system for most applications that offers the most flexibility, and control.
- It’s rapidly becoming code in new construction all across America.
- Positive (supply) ventilation pressurizes the home from a single point.
- Positive (supply) ventilation forces sick air out of the building envelope.
BY FAR the type of ventilation that provides the best, fresh, healthy, and clean air to its occupants.
Almost everything in our homes from carpet, paint, glues, and even the wood products are either made from or contain chemicals. These chemicals can off gas or release, which builds up in our homes. Complicating the issue further, every breath that is exhaled (family members and pets) contain carbon dioxide and moisture. These too can build up in the home and create issues with the air we breathe.
Common household issues that can be improved with proper ventilation...
- Sick home syndrome
- higher than normal moisture
- increased disease transmission potential
- increased odors
- stale or musty air
- increased contaminant concentrations
