50% of all illnesses are either caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air. ”
- American College of Allergists
The air inside your home may be even worse than the air outside — especially if you are among America's 40 million allergy sufferers. Add in the fact that we spend 90% of our time within our home's four walls, and indoor air quality becomes a major concern.
What are some causes of poor indoor air quality?
Tobacco smoke
Dust mites found in bedding
Dander from household pets
Formaldehyde from carpeting, upholstery and wall paneling
Fumes from household products including: paints, paint strippers, and other solvents; aerosol sprays; cleansers and disinfectants; etc.
Mold and mildew found in wet or moist walls, ceilings, carpets, and furniture; as well as poorly maintained humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and air conditioners
Combustion pollutants from fuel burning appliances such as space heaters, ranges, ovens, stoves, furnaces, fireplaces, water heaters and clothes dryers
How does poor indoor air quality affect people?
Irritated eyes
Runny nose
Nasal congestion
Scratchy throat
Coughing
Rashes
Fever
Nausea
Headaches
Dizziness
Confusion
Fatigue
Poor indoor air quality can also trigger asthma attacks as well as serious illnesses in immune compromised individuals, the elderly and very young children. In offices, indoor air quality may lead to "sick building syndrome."
The Lennox PureAir System There are many products on the market now which claim to "clean your air" or "relieve your allergies and asthma" but how do I know which ones really work and more importantly, which ones work best in my home??
Many of our customers are asking us these same questions, and Woodfin's answer, after thorough searching and personal testing, is "The PureAir" air purification system by Lennox.
Why? The Lennox PureAir is the only truly certified air cleaner on the market. The PureAir system is also the only air cleaner that has earned the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. In fact, all Lennox indoor air quality products have earned it!
Air duct evaluations and cleaning
Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems. Woodfin's duct cleaning specialists will use specialized tools to dislodge dirt and other debris in ducts, then vacuum them out with a high-powered vacuum cleaner. We may also apply a biocide to kill biological contaminants in ductwork.
You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.
Remember, improperly cleaned ducts will disperse contaminants back into the air. That's why you should rely on the expertise of "Your Home Team."

Your home's humidity level is crucial, too!
During the winter, the relative humidity of the average heated home can be almost half that of the Sahara desert. It can dry out your home's wooden frame and furnishings. It can even reduce your heating system's efficiency. Woodfin can help ensure the proper humidity level in your home, all year long, with brand-name humidifiers that guarantee total comfort for you and your family.
