Today’s homes are built to maximize energy efficiency, which basically means keeping outside air out. That’s great to keep your heating and cooling system running cost-efficiently, not so great when you don’t have a continuous source of circulating fresh air to move indoor pollutants out of your house.
The TrueCLEANAir™ solution ventilates your house in a way that lets the fresh air in while preserving the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling system.
Remove odors and vapors, stale and stuffy air
The air in our homes is seriously polluted than outdoor air, even in the largest and most industrialized cities. Poor ventilation to stale and stuffy air that feels heavy and unpleasant. This is because of a build-up of unpleasant odors from sources such as litter boxes, trash cans, cooking smells, paints and solvents. Moreover, irritating pollutants and potentially harmful gasses such as radon and carbon monoxide are trapped in the house in the indoor air you breathe.
Here are some things you can do to remove the odors and vapors that cause stuffy air:
-
Keep chemicals and cleaning products in outside storage
-
Keep litter boxes away from heating and cooling system vents
-
Change your furnace filter regularly according to manufacturer's recommendations
-
Clean/inspect fireplace and/or wood stove before new heating season
-
Clean dryer vents regularly
-
Prior to installing new carpet, ask your retailer to unroll and air out the carpet in a well-ventilated area; open windows during carpet installation
-
Utilize exhaust fans in bathrooms and ventilation hoods above stove tops
Of course, the most obvious answer would be to open your windows. However, not every day is a pleasant spring morning. That’s the whole point of having a heating and cooling system, to make you comfortable when it’s not comfortable outside. Now, you could open a few windows anyway just to “air out” the house, but what’s the point of letting cold air in when you’re trying to get warm? That would be defeating the purpose of your heating and air conditioning system to make you comfortable indoors. It also costs you money—opening windows makes your furnace or air conditioner run inefficiently because the system is constantly trying to correct for an outside temperature it can’t accommodate.
Make your home "a healthy breath of fresh air" every day of the year
The solution is to ventilate your home in way that still allows your heating and cooling system to run in an energy efficient manner. A TrueCLEANAir™ solution brings fresh air into your home without opening windows and without impairing overall energy efficiency. Our systems utilize indoor conditioned air to pre-heat or pre-cool (depending on the season) incoming fresh air using the warmth of stale air being exhausted, thereby reducing the energy otherwise required to warm/cool the outside air. So you get fresh air at the same comfortable room temperature, regardless of the outside weather, without the indoor pollutants. This same process removes heat and moisture from the incoming air stream during the summer.
A TrueCLEANAir™ ventilation solution provides a comfortable and healthy environment for your entire home year round, with only minimal maintenance requirements and trouble-free quiet operation. And without expending more energy to operate than it costs to keep a light bulb on.
