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.

The only way to determine the level is to test. EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon. A map of radon zones has been created to help national, state, and local organizations to target their resources and to implement radon-resistant building codes. However, the map is not intended to be used for determining if a home in a given zone should be tested for radon. Homes with elevated levels of radon have been found in all three zones.

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.

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.

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.

Fresh-Air Mist is a unique formula that actually oxidizes odor molecules in the air. Not to be confused with perfumed cover-up sprays, Fresh-Air Mist cleans the air, leaving no lingering after-scent, within minutes. No matter if the odor was caused by Uncle Clyde's cigars, or the new puppy pooping on the floor, Fresh-Air Mist allows you to eliminate those and countless other odors within minutes! Also, Fresh-Air Mist is safe to use around kids and pets!

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.

The "Move to Fresh Air" mean printed on the face of newer CO alarms is a reminder to move all family members to an area with fresh air if the alarm sounds. You should not unplug or move the CO alarm itself.

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.

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.

Fresh flowers and fruits carry bacteria, which could infect the patient's limited immune system. Alternative gifts include silk flowers, balloons, pictures, posters, stuffed animals, magazines, books, VCR movies and board games.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

The fresh air tablets can be placed directly into the outer bag or in the tab pocket (a square piece of fabric near the zip). The scent cartridges (XL7 only) can be used in both the deluxe canister and upright vacuum. To insert in the deluxe canister, remove the HEPA filter cover from the back of the machine and place on the tab inside. For the XL7 upright, press the two locking tabs on the cartridge cover to release the cover (at the base of the vacuum).

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.
