Indoor Air Quality Indoor Air Quality
EPA studies show that even in the smoggiest cities, the air inside most modern buildings is usually at least ten times more polluted than the air outside.
How can this be? There are many reasons, some of which were discovered only recently. Invisible assassins such as radon and CO2, as well as gas-emitting chemicals like formaldehyde used in making modern carpeting, drapery, household cleaners, and furniture and building materials contribute to air impurity. Other common airborne pollutants include pollen, viruses, dust and dust mites and damp areas where standing water can breed mold, mildew and other microbes.
 The way modern buildings are built—for purposes of energy efficiency and to be as airtight as possible—is mostly to blame for this problem. Stale air, laced with odors, chemicals, and irritants—even miniscule insects—often becomes trapped in modern buildings, where they circulate continually. The result for employees are serious health risks including eye irritation, sinus congestion, sneezing, runny nose, stuffiness, colds, flu, headaches, dizziness, outbreaks of allergies and asthma, sore throats, and many other respiratory ailments. Environmentalists even coined a new term for this critical condition—IAQ or Indoor Air Quality.
Today, even homeowners need to become more aware of the importance of IAQ and what they can do about it.
There are many types of air cleaners on the market today but none are as effective, and clean your entire house as well as a Healthy Climate Air Cleaning system. Healthy Climate Whole-Home Air Cleaners make your air as clean as possible by removing particulates from your air, allowing you to breathe healthier air—important to those with allergies and asthma and for those who want the cleanest air possible for themselves and their family.

How Does It Work?
Healthy Climate Whole-House Air Cleaners are installed as part of your home’s central heating and cooling system—completely out of your way and out-of-sight. That means each and every time your system runs, the air in your home is filtered through our state-of-the-art filter media removing potentially harmful contaminants from every room in your home.
The resulting clean air is then distributed via your heating and cooling system throughout your entire home. Best yet the system is easy to maintain with infrequent maintenance only required once a years unlike portable units that you have to clean every month or standard filters that need cleaning every 30 days.

Humidifiers
Save your family and your home from the damaging effects of over-dry air: Dry nasal passages and cracked, itchy skin, aggravated allergy and asthma symptoms, painful static shocks, chipping paint and plaster, and warped or damaged wood floors, furniture, trim and molding. Does this all sound familiar? Why go through another season with these problems when there is a solution—a Healthy Climate Whole-Home Humidifier. Turning your temperature up in the wintertime might keep you warm but it will dry out the air in your home. Daily activities like showering, cooking, and doing laundry do not produce enough moisture to maintain proper humidity. According to medical experts, many viruses thrive in low humidity, inviting more colds, flues and upper respiratory ailments. The American Society of Otolaryngology reports that it is important to prevent an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to infection. A whole-home humidifier from Healthy Climate, installed by Soundview will deliver the perfect amount of moisture to your air, making you feel more comfortable at lower thermostat settings. In fact, the EPA states that you can save up to 4% on your heating bill for every degree you lower your thermostat! Increase your family’s level of comfort and protect your valuable furnishings by adding just the right amount of moisture with an Healthy Climate Whole-House Humidifier. “If too dry an environment is your problem, consider a humidifier. Clues like awakening with a sore throat, dryness in your nose, or even a nose bleed are signs of too little humidity.”
