Healthaire SUPERVENTILATION users report many improvements in their families' quality of life following installation of the system.
Because Healthaire purifies and cleans the air in the home, it gives your immune system a welcome break from the war against all of the toxins and pathogens to which it is exposed daily. Think of it as a time-out for a full-body recharge! No matter what your age or current state of health, Healthaire SUPERVENTILATION can only benefit you! Asthma sufferers: report a marked drop in the occurrence and severity of their symptoms, some even being able to safely cut down or eliminate their control medications.
Winter ‘flus and colds: many people accept these as a normal part of life – but with Healthaire SUPERVENTILATION and warmer, cleaner healthy air at home, you need not continue to suffer these recurring illnesses. Many of our customers report a drop in severity and occurrence of these and other bronchial/lung complaints following installation – even in the first winter!
Hay fever and airborne allergens: can also be reduced or eliminated within your home, due to the functioning of your new Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) Healthaire. Airborne particles such as pollen and excess dust mite wasteare forced out of the home by the constant inflow of clean filtered fresh air, making your living spaces less dusty and therefore healthier.
Heart attack risk is aggravated by prolonged exposure to particles of less than 2.5 microns in diameter, according to latest research. These can cause systemic inflammation, increased plasma viscosity (blood thickening) and an increase in certain blood-clotting proteins. It has also been established that endotoxins (organic dust) in concentrations of just 25 micrograms per cubic metre of air increases the risk of cardiac infarction (heart attack) by a massive 48%. Healthaire SUPERVENTILATION reduces this risk significantly.
SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome): Check your baby’s/child’s mattress: is it discoloured an orangey-yellow? What about underneath the fabric cover? If so, this is is likely to be a dangerous mould infestation encouraged by the moisture and warmth from baby’s body. It is becoming clear that microbial infestation (mould and mildew) has some causative connection with SIDS, lowered immune system function, and is a definite trigger for pulmonary hemosiderosis (bleeding lung). If your infant coughs blood, or suffers nose-bleeds from no obvious cause, or if they have chronic chest congestion and/or is anaemic – seek medical advice immediately, and ask your GP to consider the possibility that your child may be suffering from pulmonary hemosiderosis. If this turns out to be the case, ventilate your home immediately with Healthaire.
Gas heating and cooking: manufacturers of gas appliances warn that adequate ventilation is required. Why? Flames and people have one thing in common – we both need oxygen in order to survive. Without any ventilation, a flame will take all the available oxygen from the air, and replace it with toxic gases (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide), and water. Healthaire SUPERVENTILATION introduces fresh clean air, not recycled air, while expelling the stale, wet, oxygen-depleted, toxic air (total house air change from 1-1.5 times per hour).
Outdoor pollutants excluded from the home: smog, dust and car emissions are prevented from entering the living space by the Healthaire Superpleat filter.
Flying insect pests are less troublesome: windows and doors do not need to be left open for fresh air; and if windows are ajar the outward flow of air discourages them from entering
The most immediate and significant financial benefit of a Healthaire system comes in the form of FREE HEAT. The initial objective on the PPV system was to address the ongoing Kiwi challenge of condensation in the home. Whilst addressing this challenge better than anyone, a significant by-product of the system is the capture of an enormous amount of free heat.
The total running costs of a Healthaire system is approximately 7 cents per day – less than a traditional 75-watt light bulb! During a typical winters day, despite being cold, there is invariably some sunshine. As the sun shines down on your roof, the sheltered area within the roof cavity heats up. The difference between outside temperature and the roof space can be significant. The warmer air is then transfered ‘automatically’ into ALL the rooms in your home. Imagine both the financial and comfort impact as this free heat is delivered to your south facing rooms (typically bedrooms), which otherwise have no heating whatsoever.
Your very next cold-weather power bill will show the results. The need for artificial heating is reduced, dehumidifying eliminated and within a few winters your new system will have paid for itself!
A further financial consideration is that, on average 3 litres of water (in vapour form) per day from exhaling, washing, cooking, showering… that’s a jumbo milk-bottle-worth – per person! The moisture soaks into everything and permeates the air, making your home feel muggy and your furniture, bedding, clothes and rugs damp and cold. And mould thrives in such humid conditions.
With Healthaire SUPERVENTILATION, indoor condensation is reduced and in most cases disappears altogether. No more wet windows, damp exterior walls or mould-clogged window sills.
Your home will be less subject to the degradations of internal moisture, mould and rot damage – in most cases this process can be permanently halted and even reversed, thus reducing your property maintenence costs in the long term.
Your soft furnishings and carpets will also benefit from the mould-free, dry atmosphere – musty odours can disappear and your clothes and linens will also be fresher, mildew being reduced or eliminated.
Home security is also increased because the home will be comfortable even with windows and doors closed on warm nights.
