The Skuttle “Happy House” – Your	®
Assurance of Enhanced IAQ

Healthful indoor air (often called “indoor air quality” or “IAQ”) is signifi- cantly cleaner than the air in many of today’s homes. It also contains appropriate levels of moisture and fresh outside air to aid the health and comfort of residents.

Humidification

In cold weather, dry indoor air often makes homes drier than a desert. Acting like a sponge, the parched air absorbs moisture wherever it can find it – furniture, plants, pets . . . even people. The result is a variety of discomforts and problems, including dry skin, stuffy noses, hacky coughs, sore throats, allergies, damage to furniture and woodwork, wilted plants and static electricity.

Too much or too little humidity in a home promotes an increase in bacte- ria, viruses, fungi, respiratory ailments and other unhealthy conditions. Skuttle humidifiers restore a home’s relative humidity to a balanced, healthier, more comfortable 30-to-50 percent range. And Skuttle makes humidifiers to fit more furnace systems, floor plans and water types than any other manufacture.

Filtration

Your body’s respiratory system is designed to filter out airborne particles that are three-to-five microns in diameter. Smaller particles can be inhaled, potentially causing serious health problems. The smallest conta- minants (a single micron or less) are dispersed through HVAC ductwork and make up about 99 percent of the particles circulating through a typi- cal home.

Skuttle duct-mounted air cleaners capture most of these contaminants in a deep-pleated filter which traps far more particles over a longer period than standard, flat-filter designs. The results are cleaner indoor air, longer filter life, longer furnace life and a healthier living environment.

Ventilation

A primary cause of “sick house syndrome” is negative air pressure buildup, resulting from a lack of fresh-air exchanges throughout the home. It also contributes to mold growth.

To help eliminate these problems, Skuttle manufactures two ventilation products:

•The Make-Up Air Diffuser supplies additional combustion air to appli- ances that have inadequate combustible air sources.

•The Model 216 Make-Up Air Control automatically draws fresh, outside air into the furnace, where it is filtered, heated or cooled, and circulat- ed through your home’s duct system. As a result, a slight pressure builds up in the home, keeping untreated air from seeping in around doors and windows.

No wonder we call a home protected by Skuttle Indoor Air Quality Products a “Happy House”. For more information, call us toll-free at (800) 848-9786, or visit us on the web at www.skuttle.com.
