Filters and Indoor Air Quality
Poor Indoor Air Quality can cause or aggravate respiratory problems,
allergies and asthma. Today’s weather-tight homes trap pollutants inside where everyday household contaminants
become increasingly concentrated.
The result, indoor air quality can be up to 50 times more polluted than the air outdoors,
jeopardizing the health and vitality of your family.
Controlling the source of various pollutants is the
ideal solution, but in most cases it simply isn’t possible. Minimizing the sources
of pollutants in your home, by changing your furnace and humidifier filters
regularly, is the right solution to ensure good Indoor Air Quality.
