Prevent Sick House Syndrome

The EPA recently informed us that six out of 10 homes are“sick”, actually hazardous to your health to occupy as a result of airborne pollutants.

Since most people spend well over 90% of their time indoors, indoor air is going to impact health far more than outdoor air. According to Scientific American, a baby crawling on the floor will inhale the equivalent of four cigarettes per day and will be exposed to a multitude of pollutants as a result of the out gassing of carpets, molds, mildews, fungi, dust mites, etc. Sick House Syndrome occurs in homes with excess moisture and lack of ventilation. Cold damp basements and crawl spaces nurture mold and contaminants which work their way into the upper levels of the home.

A Humidex unit controls moisture and creates ventilation in both basements and crawl spaces. Humidex will create a healthier home environment, improving indoor air quality by expelling gases, toxins, VOC’s and odors. Stagnant air will be replaced by fresh air creating a healthy home.

Humidex is very energy efficient requiring 30 to 40 watts to operate and costs less than $4 per month on your utility bill and is maintenance free.
