Indoor Air Quality Chillrite Air Conditioning

I put a lot of effort into making my home comfortable. What difference will the quality of my indoor air make?

There's a lot about indoor air quality that you might not know and certainly can't see. Up to 72 trillion microscopic irritants, or allergens, find their way into your home every day. They include dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, dust mites, mildew, lint, fungus, most tobacco smoke, cooking grease and bacteria. Many of these particles are so small that your nose and throat can't filter them out, and they can get deep into your lungs.

Isn't my indoor air already clean?

Actually, studies show that indoor air can be five times more polluted than outdoor air. Exposure to indoor air pollutants has increased in recent years, due to factors like these:

Today's homes are better insulated and more tightly sealed than ever before, sealing in humidity, smoke, dust and other pollutants.

Use of synthetic building materials and furnishings and household cleaners has increased.

The Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health.

What about ionic-type room air cleaners or throwaway air filters?

Ionic-type room air cleaners are only effective within a certain radius. And buying one for each room at a cost of $300 to $500 a piece can be cost-prohibitive.

Most home heating and cooling systems are equipped with standard 1" throwaway filters, but they're designed primarily to protect your system from being damaged by larger particles, not to protect your lungs from the smaller ones. And HEPA filters can clog, reducing airflow throughout your system.

What's the difference between these and a whole house air cleaner?

A whole house air cleaner, like American Standard AccuClean™, works as part of your heating and cooling system. That means it's designed to clean the air in every room of your home. And our unique patented filtration technology has the highest efficiency of any air cleaner on the market. Get ready for the cleanest, most comfortable indoor air you've ever experienced.
