- Programable thermostats - can reduce your
heating and cooling costs by as much as 10%. The electronic control reduces
uncomfortable temperature swings with more precise sensing capabilities. The
thermostat uses "Selectable Energy Management Recovery", the recovery start
time varies after analyzing how long the previous recovery times required. The
programmable thermostat has an automatic "Compressor Short Cycle Protection"
and will ensure the compressor does not start for a minimum of 5 minutes after
each time it shuts off.
- Humidifiers - add moisture to every room in
your home to soften harsh, dry air. The American Society of heating,
Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHREA) recommends that the
relative humidity in your home should be between 30% - 60% to minimize the
growth of bacteria and biological organisms. Using a humidifier can lower
thermostat levels. Humidity controls adjust the relative humidity inside your
home without affecting room temperature. Proper humidity levels will make your
home feel more comfortable and can provide better energy efficiency.
- Electronic air cleaners - help clean the
air and provide respiratory relief by removing dust, dirt, and pollen. They are
designed to trap even microscopic particles, so cleaner air is circulated back
into your home. Filter type air cleaners create resistance to air flow and
progressively become more restrictive as they get dirty. The Electronic Air
Cleaner creates the least restriction to air flow, even when it is ready to be
cleaned.
- Carbon dioxide detector - provides constant
monitoring of your indoor air to detect unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. In
addition to having carbon monoxide detectors, it is strongly recommended that
you have fuel-burning appliances such as gas clothes dryers and furnaces and
venting systems maintained on a regular basis to eliminate potential carbon
monoxide-related dangers that they may pose.
