Planning For a Healthy Home






Here is the latest e-mail update I received from Wayne regarding communication with the builder. Pictures are of the home yesterday, after a week-end snow that still lingers with the sub-freezing temperatures. The roof sheeting wasn't quite complete on the garage yet.

Wayne says:
I talked with Rob and Greg the HVAC person. We went over system and agreed on the HVAC System with a some upgrading. We wanted some items that were very important to us and will add comfort and make a healthier home.

Upgrades:
15 Seer High Efficiency System
Digital Pro Thermostat w/Outside Air Temperature
Frigidaire ERV ( Fresh Air w/Energy Recovery )
Hepa Filtration w/digital remote control
Steam Humidifier
Electronic Air Cleaner
All metal supply and return air ducts
5 extra exhaust air ducts to ERV

Fresh air will be brought into home constantly and stale air will be exhausted. The fresh air will be filtered preheated or cooled and then distributed throughout home. The bath fans will be eliminated and the heated air from showers will also be pushed through the ERV and distributed back into the system as well in conserving energy and balancing the system.
