Allen TX Air Conditioning Company owner Steve Lauten, President of Total Air & Heat, warns about dirty air in the home and how it can affect your health.

Findings from leading experts on clean air and you...

You’ve probably seen a lot of air cleaning technologies currently being advertised on TV. And what many products claim can be difficult to believe. In fact, a leading consumer magazine recently challenged the effectiveness of many of these air cleaning products.

That’s why when we say TRANE CleanEffects™ is the world’s most effective whole-house air filtration system, we back it up with research from some of the industry’s leading experts, including professors Dr. John McCarthy (read bio) and Dr. John Spengler (read bio) from the Harvard School of Public Health.

The risks and who's affected...

  • The EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health.
  • EPA studies indicate that indoor levels of many pollutants may be 25 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. In general, indoor air is four to five times more polluted than outdoor air.
  • More than 15 million Americans are estimated to have asthma, including one-in-13 school-age children.
  • In the last 30 years, the number of people with asthma has gone up by almost 60%.
  • 87% of American homeowners are not aware that pollution may be worse inside their homes than outdoors.
  • The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 30% of newly constructed and remodeled facilities have indoor air quality problems.
  • Because they breathe faster than adults, children inhale 50% more air per pound of body weight than adults and are especially sensitive to air quality problems.
  • Over 28 million Americans suffer from hay fever and other allergies.
  • According to a study by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, indoor air contaminants are responsible for half of all illnesses.
