Why Buy an Air Cleaner
Here are some little known facts about the air inside many homes:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that indoor air pollutant levels may be two to five times higher than the pollutant levels outdoors.
- Indoor air pollution is one of the top environmental concerns in the country.
- Americans spend up to 90 percent of their time indoors.
- Indoor air pollutants such as tobacco smoke, pollen, mold, dust and animal dander can create asthmatic and allergic reactions.
What contributes to poor indoor air quality?
Today's homes are built energy efficient to "hold" air inside - avoiding heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Of course, what's better for your energy bills isn't necessarily better for indoor air quality. This type of construction doesn't allow the home to breathe. Opening a window isn't always the answer - that's when an air cleaner can help, especially if someone in your home suffers from allergies. At Horizon Mechanical, we have many solutions to your Indoor Quality needs.
Clean Air Delivery Rate
The overall effectiveness of an air cleaning device depends on the efficiency of the unit and on the amount of air drawn through it. Although no industry-wide set of performance standards exists to help consumers compare units, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) has developed a standard for air cleaners called the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR). The CADR expresses the number of cubic feet of clean air a unit delivers each minute. Let Horizon Mechanical show you the best products to meet your indoor quality needs.
