Humidifiers
Our systems usually come with a steam humidifier, it fills itself automatically. It is controlled by a humidistat. As it injects steam into the airflow, it has no water to collect and grow mold. These units provide definite health benefits, humidity in the air in winter goes a long way to staving off colds and flu, by keeping the air moist.
Enhanced Air Filters
All of the home’s air flows through a standard air filter that screens out most of the particles in the air. Deluxe high capacity allergy control filters are available to very high MERV values. Merv 8 is standard. Merv 11 is available in most sizes.
Electronic Air Cleaners
These control odors with special ionizing coatings on UV light bulbs that kill bacteria.
Fresh Air Exchange Systems
These are integrated into the system, and provide the home with a small, constantly filtered amount of fresh air, and discharge a portion of the home’s air outside. They don’t waste heat because they have heat recovery ventilators (HRV). These are very popular in new, tightly sealed homes.
Ductless Geothermal Systems
Another type of air system is the low cost, fast payback, ductless console style heating and air conditioning geothermal heat pump. This design is a great solution for older buildings.
