|
The average American spends
90% of his or her time indoors.
1 in 3 residences is home to someone who suffers from
allergies or asthma.
Sometimes your house can even contribute to these types of
problems.
The EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five risks
to public health and reports that airborne pollutants may be
25 to 100 times worse inside than outside! |

Don't let the chronic symptoms of indoor air quality (IAQ)
issues persist:
 |
aggravating your allergies,

|
|

cooling equipment. |

If you answered yes to any of these
questions, consider scheduling an Indoor Air Quality test for your
home. With the help of Air Advice, an independent laboratory, we can
provide you a with a comprehensive report - direct from Air Advice -
that measures the air quality of your home in four critical areas:
Temperature - sudden
temperature changes can trigger colds and worse, asthma.
.
Carbon Monoxide - any
amount of this poisonous, colorless, odorless gas in your home
is too much.
.
Relative Humidity - high humidity can trigger allergies and encourage unhealthy mold
growth. Low humidity, on the other hand, can cause coughing,
sleeplessness, headaches and nosebleeds.
.
Airborne Particulates -
microscopic airborne dust mites, pet dander, pollen and mold
spores, if present in your air, can be breathed in, deep into
your respiratory tract, and cause any number of ailments and
health irritants.
 Call
or e-mail us today to schedule your Indoor Air Quality
Diagnostic Report. We will set the Air Advice monitor in your home for
3-4 days, during which time it will take hundreds
of measurements a day - detecting the levels of airborne particles,
odors, gasses, chemicals, carbon monoxide, the relative humidity and
the temperature in your home.
We'll return at the end of the 3-4 day period with your individual IAQ
Report and go over it with you. This comprehensive report comes
direct from Air Advice and includes charts, graphs and an easily
understood narrative to give you a clear picture of where your home
stands in the areas described above. For a sample report, click
