SOURCE CONTROL
Eliminate air pollutants before they enter the home. For
example, some homeowners may not allow smoking or
pets in the home, but that isn’t practical for most people.
Instead, stop contaminant problems before they start
by installing whole-house humidifiers, dehumidifiers,
ventilators and UV treatment systems.
DILUTION
Out with the old air, in with the new. This can be
accomplished by opening windows, but that wastes
heating and cooling energy. Energy-efficient ERV and
HRV ventilation systems exchange indoor air for outdoor
air while recovering most of the energy used to heat or
cool the air being exhausted. This treated fresh air can
then be efficiently further conditioned by an air cleaner,
dehumidifier and UV treatment system.
REDUCTION
As air circulates in the home, the number of particulates
are reduced during each pass through air cleaners installed
just ahead of the heating and cooling equipment. This
helps maintain a steady flow of cleaner air.
Three Ways To Improve Indoor Air Quality
Understanding
Airborne Particles
Every cubic foot of air you breathe carries a
mixture of millions of airborne particles so
small you could fit 749 of them in the eye of a
needle! These include:
• Pollen and spores
• Human skin flakes
• Candle soot
• Infiltrating dust
• Viruses, bacteria and fungi
• Pet dander
• Tobacco or wood smoke
• Cooking smoke and airborne grease
• Radon gas seeping through the
walls and foundations
• Chemical fumes and volatile organic
compounds generated by household cleaners
Count on Resideo’s vast lineup of air filters and
air cleaners to help filter certain particles to
improve indoor quality.
