Many of today’s highly energy efficient homes are very ‘tight’, and consequentially, it may be desirous to have supplemental fresh air brought into the building with advanced technology heat recovery systems (HRC). These systems actually recover much of the ‘heat’ present in the exhaust air and add that ‘heat’ to the fresh air being brought into the building. In this way, the air circulation system helps improve the overall heating efficiency of the system.

The usual clue is that people feel ill while inside the building, and the symptoms go away shortly after leaving the building, or sometimes, when away for the building for a period of time (as on weekends away from work, or a vacation). This doesn't necessarily work in cases of BRI (sections 2.3, 2.4), where it may take medical testing and investigation of the building to determine whether the building is the source of the problem.

Absolutely. We are careful to monitor the expiration dates of products and if anything does not have a lengthy freshness time once it gets to our customers, we will remove the item from the shelves of our warehouse and obtain fresh product. See similar questions...

Since all wood stoves require oxygen for the combustion process, the oxygen most often is obtained from within your home. A fresh air kit brings cold air from outside your home to the air intake. Doing so assures that enough fresh air is available for efficient combustion. It also means you are not burning the air you already warmed. See similar questions...

This will depend on how air tight the room may be. If the room is very air tight it can form a negative pressure in the room and interfere with the proper functioning of the stove. If the unit is installed in a manufactured home, the fresh air kit is required. See similar questions...

To calculate the minimum quantity of fresh air required in CFM (cubic feet per minute), calculate 10 cfm for each room (ex.: living room, bedroom, kitchen), 20 cfm for the master bedroom and 20 cfm for an unfinished basement. You can also consult an HVAC specialist to properly size your building. See similar questions...

Yes part # 67FAK. This allows combustion air to enter the firepot from outside. This will increase the efficiency and reduce the likelihood of creating negative pressure or vacuum effect in your home. See similar questions...

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends if there is space between ceiling joists. You need at least 24 inches opening between joists for the air cleaner. If you have adequate clearance, an attic crawlspace installation is similar to the drop ceiling scenario. Cut the appropriate sized hole in the ceiling material and finish the edges with the supplied trim. You'll need to use mounting hardware to support the weight of the unit from a suitable part of your building's framework. See similar questions...

air filter is designed to collect particulate from the air. Air-born living organisms such as bacteria and viruses pass through the filter much like sand would pass through a tennis racket. Some filters such as carbon filters do a good job with odors, but they have to be changed frequently and are very costly. In contrast, Fresh Air Concepts' air purifiers are designed to change the molecular structure of the contaminant through Photo-Oxidation and DNA Sterilization. See similar questions...

Yes, the air purifier kills germs and bacteria and destroys odors; but it does not dispose of the particulate, which is airborne. This requires a quality particulate filter. See similar questions...

Today's new homes, with their improved construction techniques and thicker insulation, can be too "tight." An air exchanger will economically replace stale, polluted indoor air with fresh filtered outside air. See similar questions...

YES. Put indoor plants at summertime into the garden, best in partial shade. However, the vegetative development of seedlings and young plants (newly rooted) can considerably benefit with a culture in a closed room under the following conditions: Constant temperature of 25?C, air humidity between 60 and 80% (not higher!), high intense light (metal halide lamp) of 18 hours daily. Ventilate the room daily for a short period to get rid of any ethylene (see smoking item above). See similar questions...

You must provide at least a three square foot opening of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 BTU's of heat. This equation is listed in your owner's manual. See similar questions...

There are four controls for the cabin heating system. One is the little red-knobbed handle on the floor just aft of the gearshift lever. The others are the three sliders, two black-knobbed and one red, on the dash. The top black knob controls how much fresh air is coming in. It goes from off (left) to full flow (middle) and then turns the cool air fan (up front, behind the gas tank) on low (I), med (II), or high (III) speed. The second knob controls where the cool air goes. See similar questions...

This facility has an excellent heating system. There is no air conditioning system, but a reasonably comfortable temperature is maintained during summer months with open windows, fans, and natural circulation of air. See similar questions...

Mold feed off bacteria in order to grow. Fresh Air Concepts' air purifiers destroy the bacteria, which means mold has no source of food. Without a source of food, mold will quickly be destroyed. See similar questions...

Fresh Air Concepts' air purifiers are CSA and NRTL/C certified and have been third party real world tested. In addition to several university studies in the United States and Canada. See similar questions...

Electrical consumption varies by model. The FAC1500X and CMU-16 use approximately 15 watts of electricity and the FAC3500X uses approximately 25 watts of electricity, which is less than the average light bulb. See similar questions...
