The perfect answer to air quality problems?
Healthy Climate® Solutions. With fuel and electricity costs on the rise, today’s homes are sealed and insulated better than ever. While this helps reduce utility bills by keeping heated or cooled air from escaping, it can create uncomfortable living conditions. That’s because the same air is continuously circulated throughout the home.A lack of fresh air can make the air feel heavy and overly warm. It can also lead to humidity imbalances and put homes at risk for damage from mold.
Solution: Dehumidification (removing moisture)If the air in your home feels sticky, you may have a problem with humidity. Other telltale signs include:
◆ Flaking paint
◆ Peeling wallpaper
◆ Condensation on windows
◆ Damp spots or stains on walls and ceilings
◆ Damaged or rotted wood materials
◆ Musty smells
◆ Insect infestation
The Humiditrol® dehumidifier system works with your central heating and cooling system* to manage moisture levels, so you can enjoy greater comfort. And dry air feels cooler, so you may be able to set your thermostat higher and save money, and be more comfortable at the same time.
Solution: Humidification (adding moisture)Healthy Climate® whole-home humidifiers work with a SignatureStat™ control to keep a comfortable amount of moisture in the air. And unlike standard humidifiers, which require constant manual adjustments, Healthy Climate systems automatically respond to changes in outdoor temperature and indoor relative humidity to deliver the perfect balance of comfort and convenience.
Solution: Fresh-air ventilationHealthy Climate ventilation systems replace stagnant indoor air with cleaner air from outside. They offer the fresh-air feel of an open window, with little or no loss of heat or energy.
