airborne particles
Indoor air can often be more polluted than the air
outdoors. What can you do? One important element of an overall
strategy to improve air quality is to filter the air in
your home with a whole-house air cleaner. It filters
impurities from the air that passes through it. |

of airborne particles are invisible to the

Why care about 0.3 micron particles?
Airborne particles that measure 0.3 microns are the
most difficult size to capture That's why Honeywell
rates its air cleaners according to their ability to
trap particles this size.

and mold spores. They're nasty. So you wash, wipe and
clean.
But they can still blow through the air in your
home every time your heating and cooling system's fan
runs.
That's not all. Your air conditioner's moist
cooling coils can serve as an ideal breeding ground for
mold, a known allergen.
But there's help: an Enviracaire
EliteTM Ultraviolet Air Treatment System. |
Kill most germs before they re-circulate Return-air
duct models. Mounted in the ductwork of your heating and
cooling system, the Ultraviolet Air Treatment System
continuously emits ultraviolet (UV) energy that kills a
high percentage of airborne bacteria passing by the
light. Honeywell uses special UV lights that don't
produce ozone, unlike most UV products.
| Mold
is bad stuff is one of the more common
allergens. A 1999 Mayo Clinic study found
that mold was the culprit in nearly all
chronic sinus infections. |

Prevent mold
spores from growing on your system's cooling coils Coil
irradiation model. Mounted above your central air
conditioner's cooling coil, the Ultraviolet light
continuously bathes cooling system components with
mold-stopping UV energy.
Specially designed for maximum
performance and safety UV Air Treatment products by
Honeywell feature a unique design with a patent pending
lamp drive system for maximum performance, a special
safety design that won't let bulb light unless properly
mounted to the duct, and a special light pipe to safely
view the bulb operation.

 Filtration/Ventilation System
Ventilation systems are an energy-efficient way to
help maintain good indoor air quality while enjoying a steady supply of fresh air
throughout your home--all year round. |
Honeywell air cleaners remove up to 95 percent of airborne dust, bacteria
and viruses that can aggravate allergies. Filtration Air cleaners clean the air by filtering out billions of unseen microscopic
particles that float in the air including dust, pollen, mold and plant spores, dust mite
debris, pet hair and dander. This is especially important to the one in five people who
suffer from allergies to these particles. Air cleaners also remove cooking and tobacco
fresher. smoke particles, bacteria and viruses, making the air healthier and more
comfortable for everyone.
Ventilation You know that opening a window and
letting in fresh air can be good for you and your home. However, depending on the outside
temperature, it could have a bad effect on your energy bill. Like an open window, a
ventilation system exchanges stale, polluted indoor air with fresh outdoor air. However,
very little energy is lost in the process. |
