Why is Air Filtration Important?• Homes are being built tighter than ever before to save on energy costs, so

particulates like dust mites, pet dander, bacteria and others are trapped inside the home.

• On average, we spend 90% of our time indoors and breathe roughly 3,400 gallons of air each day.

• ½ of all families have someone directly affected by allergies.

• 85% of homeowners think the air outside is worse than the quality of air inside their home1…

• …But, in reality, indoor air can be 3-5 times more polluted than outdoor air2. .

Homeowners want comfort in their home

• In a 2006 American Home Comfort Study conducted by Decision Analyst of over 27,000 homeowners, when asked what type of solutions they wanted in their homes, 3 of the 5 solutions were indoor air quality solutions, with 55% of homeowners wanting an air filtration solution1.

1. Air Conditioning - 72%

2. Humidification - 72%

3. Zoning - 61%

4. Air Filtration/Purification -

55%

5. Dehumidification - 40%



Homeowners are trying to solve the problems…

• Most homeowners are aware of the air quality issues in their homes and try to solve the problems with the solutions that they are aware of – like purchasing and using portable units.

• When asked, 63% of homeowners said they had at least one type of portable unit in their home, and 37% said they had 2 or more!

• However, for portables to be effective, they need to be out in the open, which can clutter a room, and their effectiveness is limited to the room they are in.

• Not to mention the investment of purchasing and running multiple portables in a home.

• It is your opportunity to offer a more energy efficient – and invisible – solution for homeowners.
