According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) controlling the air quality in your home can reduce allergy and asthma symptoms. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that fewer than 30 percent of people with asthma are taking simple steps to reduce exposure triggers, such as dust mites and mold that can set off an asthma attack. Humidex, a home ventilation system, improves indoor air quality by constantly expelling moist, musty and contaminated air and replacing it with drier, warmer and fresher air. This process reduces humidity, which decreases dust mite and mold growth.

"Our newborn son (was) having severe asthma, and it seemed that nothing provided him with relief," said customers Denise and Bill Kaiser. "Our son has not been hospitalized since Humidex was installed. Before the installation of the system we were in the hospital every month."

With Americans spending more than 90 percent of their time indoors, the air quality within homes and buildings has been ranked among the top five environmental dangers to the public, according to the EPA. Indoor pollutants such as dust, mold spores, fungi spores and dust mites all contribute to poor indoor air quality and exacerbate severe allergies and asthma, especially among children.

Humidex, which monitors and reduces relative humidity year round, pulls the moisture from where it accumulates, maximizing the airflow by expelling the moist air to the outside and replenishing it with drier air. As a result of the airflow created, indoor air quality significantly improves thus reducing indoor pollutants that cause allergens and respiratory ailments, such as asthma.

"As more homes are built tightly sealed and heavily insulated, allergens, toxins and moisture are locked-in. The Humidex unit provides a maintenance free, energy efficient, year-round solution," said Phil Konigsberg, President of Humidex Atlantic. "From million dollar to mobile homes, Humidex creates a healthier home environment."
