The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists indoor air quality among its top environmental health threats. To ensure a healthy indoor environment, there are three key components to consider about air after assuring a comfortable temperature: it must be fresh, clean and maintain the proper relative humidity (between 40-50%) to prevent dust mite infestations, mold and mildew growth, and bacterial growth. At Shelter Technology, we tackle air quality control with several different products.

High-efficiency fans in bathrooms and laundry rooms remove moisture where it is generated. We use Panasonic Whisper Ceiling exhaust fans. They are highly efficient, attractive, powerful, and ultra quiet- not your ordinary bath fan.

We also recommend using a Swedish Fresh 80 Fresh Air Ventilator in all bedrooms. These non-electric fresh air vents provide just the right amount of makeup air without creating drafts. A dust and insect filter is standard and a pollen filter is available.

The ultimate machine for ensuring indoor air quality, the Ultra-Aire Air Purifying Dehumidifier, provides fresh, purified and dehumidified air for the whole house. It maintains a relative humidity level of less than 50% in the house. The compact unit can filter and dry the indoor air of a 2,000 square foot home 20 times a day!
