CLEAN, HEALTHY AIR IN EVERY HOME
Contractor hopes to make indoor air filtration as ubiquitous as air conditioning
I have been on a life-long mission to provide my customers with clean air, which I think is as necessary as clean water, for decades.
Indoor air pollution is a serious threat to Canadians’ health. According to the Government of Canada website (canada.ca), the dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dander, mould, smoke particles, and viruses that float through our homes’ atmospheres can aggravate breathing and lung conditions such as asthma, allergies, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD). As well, indoor air pollution can worsen heart conditions such as angina, heart attack, and hypertension. “It can also increase the risk of stroke,” the site states.
There are residential air filtration systems that can remedy indoor air pollution by removing the millions of microscopic airborne threats that float through the air we breathe everyday. “Unfortunately, such residential systems usually cost many thousands of dollars each,” said Anthony Damiani. He is owner of Furnace King Heating and Cooling (established 1990) in Mississauga, Ontario; an HVAC contractor with a five-star rating on HomeStars, and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. “As a result, most homeowners have not been able to afford clean indoor air like they can afford clean drinking water — until now,” Damiani said.
The reason Damiani can make this statement is because Furnace King now installs effective, affordable AirBreak HEPA air filtration systems in the homes of its own customers, and, in association with other reputable HVAC contractors, in homes across Canada. Short for High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance, the AirBreak HEPA air filtration system is a 100 per cent sealed device that captures air coming out of your furnace; filters out at least 99.97 per cent of all airborne particulates, and then returns this pristinely clean air to the furnace for circulation throughout your home. At $ 1,995 plus HST and installation costs, the AirBreak is the proven, reliable, and affordable answer to indoor air pollution.
“I have been on a lifelong mission to provide my customers with clean air, which I think is as necessary as clean water, for decades now,” said Damiani. “I originally came up with my own design that worked well, but was very expensive just because the technology was so new and expensive to build. Still, my first $ 4,800 HEPA filtration system helped one client’s asthmatic son finally sleep symptom-free through the whole night after it was installed. He called me up the next morning, happy beyond belief that his son was able to breathe freely at last.”
Damiani’s expertise in eliminating indoor air pollution made him a key player during the 2003 SARS epidemic in Toronto. He was the one that North York General Hospital — site of the first Toronto- SARS case — asked to install a HEPA air filtration system to prevent any airborne SARS viruses from spreading.
At $1,995 plus HST and installation costs, the AirBreak HEPA air filtration system is the affordable indoor air pollution solution that Damiani has been searching for. “This unit is simple for us to in- stall in your furnace room, and very easy to maintain,” he said. “The low- cost foam prefilter that keeps large particles out of the HEPA filter is even washable so that you can get a year’s use out of it. Meanwhile, the core HEPA filter lasts for three to five years. You can even add an inner carbon blanket and/or an internal carbon canister that traps volatile organic compounds ( VOCs); eliminating natural odours, and man-made VOCs from paint and other fluids.”
In offering the AirBreak, Furnace King’s Damiani hopes to make indoor air filtration as affordable and ubiquitous as air conditioning. “Indoor air pollution is a serious enough threat to Canadians’ health, that our own government is warning against it,” he said. “The AirBreak HEPA air filtration system is the reliable, cost-effective solution to this very real and life-threatening problem.”
