Humidifiers
Health Benefits From Using a Humidifier
Dry air can cause considerable physical discomfort - from nose bleeds and increased allergies and asthma symptoms to greater occurrences of bronchitis and sinusitis, dehydration, itchy, and cracked skin. Dry air increases the risk of infection, and your home's woodwork can crack. Occurrences of static electricity can even harm electronics requiring pricey repairs or replacement.
Energy Savings When Using a Humidifier
Humidifying your home can help you save energy and money! Warm and humid summer air feels hotter than it actually is, because of the moisture it contains. That same principle applies to your home in the winter. By keeping the relative humidity inside your home at an ideal level, you can turn your thermostat down a few degrees and still feel comfortable.

Indoor Air Quality Can Suffer From a Number of Pollutants
It is well established that indoor air pollution can be the result of cleaning chemicals, mold, microorganism growth in carpets, poor building ventilation, and outgassing due to construction products used in new homes and renovations. The control of indoor pollutants is extremely important, because of the adverse effects they can cause regarding one's long-term health.
Health Benefits From Using UV Air Purification
Common symptoms resulting from poor indoor air quality include headaches, fatigue, eye irritations, asthma attacks, breathing problems, dizziness, memory loss, depression, skin irritations, sinus infections, colds, flu, and viruses. Exposure to even low levels of contaminants can potentially lead to long-term health problems. GeneralAire® UV Air Purifiers are designed to bring the balance of nature to your home for improved indoor air quality.
Energy/Heat Recovery Ventilators
What Does An ERV or HRV System Do?
The goal of a ventilation system is to bring fresh air from the outside into your home. A balanced ventilation system exchanges the home's stale air with fresh outside air while recovering as much of the heating or cooling energy as possible. It is designed to provide enough fresh air to keep occupants healthy, remove odors, reduce moisture, remove indoor pollutants and lower the relative indoor humidity.
Do I need an ERV or HRV System?
Ventilating your home by opening windows and doors may not be feasible, due to weather conditions, security concerns, or noise levels. Installing A GeneralAire® HRV or ERV brings fresh air into your entire home, providing safer, cleaner, fresher air.
