Air Issues&Solutions;For most of us, the first thing we notice about the air around us is the temperature. So, whenever our homes feel too hot or too cool, we focus our attention on the thermostat, turning it up and down to suit our comfort levels. The problem is, temperature is only one part of the overall picture.Take control of your airMore than a matter of degree, how your air feels involves a combination of factors, like how much moisture is in the air. Energy efficiency also comes into play, especially when you consider how you feel every month when you see your utility bill. If it's high, you're anything but comfortable.Throughout this section, you can explore the different issues that contribute to the comfort and quality of your home's air. You'll also learn how to take control of it, with the help of Gibson Air.EfficiencyWhen you live in a warm region, you probably feel the pinch of high utility bills. As energy costs continue to rise, it may be time to consider ways to make your home more efficient.Reduce the cost of your airOne option that can have an immediate impact on your home's energy use is upgrading to a high-efficiency heating and cooling system, especially if your current equipment is more than 12 years old. An ENERGY STAR® qualified furnace from the Dave Lennox Signature® Collection, for instance, can save you hundreds of dollars each year, compared to standard-efficiency equipment. And it may make you eligible for a tax credit.Another energy-saving solution is to pair a high-efficiency electric heat pump with a gas furnace. Called dual fuel, this system minimizes heating costs by seamlessly alternating between the two energy sources, depending on outdoor conditions.Advanced technologies that improve energy efficiency also enhance your comfort, so you can enjoy more even temperatures, better humidity control and increased air circulation. Lennox® high-efficiency home comfort systems are designed with the finest features available, so you get the best of all worlds.

AccuClean™ Indoor Air QualityIntroducing American Standard AccuClean™ - the most effective air filtration system in the nation, period. It can clean up to an astonishing 99.98% of allergens from the filtered air that your family breathes, so everyone will feel more comfortable, no matter what the season. Just think! With AccuClean™, the majority of irritating particles like dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, dust mites, mildew, lint, fungus, most tobacco smoke, cooking grease, even bacteria, will be removed from the filtered air.Fill your whole house with clean, consistent comfort. AccuClean™ is a whole house air cleaner, meaning it works in conjunction with your heating and cooling system to clean up to 99.98% of airborne allergens from filtered air in every room of your home. Compare this to plug-in air cleaners that operate in a single room. To match the effect of a whole house system, you'd have to buy several plug-in cleaners at a cost of $300 to $500 each. Even then, plug-ins are only effective within a certain radius, potentially leaving much of the air in the room unfiltered.AccuClean™ delivers unbeatable clean air comfortRemoves up to 99.98% of allergens from filtered airCatches particles down to .3 microns in size8 times more effective than the best HEPA room appliance100 times more effective than a standard 1" throwaway filter or ionic-type room applianceDelivers cleaner air, and more of itReusable filter is easy to vacuum or washElectronic Air FilterToday's weather tight homes trap airborn particles inside where everyday household contaminants can become increasingly concentrated.
