Have You Entered the Filtrete Healthy Home Remodel Contest?

It’s winter time and we have our heater running at home.  When we turn on the heater, I want to make sure the cleanest air possible is coming through the vents.  That is why we use Filtrete Brand Filters from 3M!  Filtrete Brand from 3M makes an entire line of air filters for your home’s heating and cooling system – there’s one for each family’s needs and lifestyle.  They start just a few dollars, last up to three months and can be purchased at Lowe’s, Target, Walmart, Costco and your local hardware store.  Find a location near you by visiting FindMyFiltreteFilter.com.

Filrete Filters are the most trusted brand of furnace filters.  They are up to four times better than ordinary pleated filters and are consistently rated #1 by a leading magazine that rates consumer products.  Filtrete Filters help create a healthy home and healthier indoor air by capturing airborne dust, allergens, bacteria and viruses.  Filtrete Filters also help maintain airflow in heating and cooling systems, which may help prevent stress on the system and reduce the amount of energy needed to reach desired indoor air temperatures.  Other electrostatically charged filters with similar ratings are tightly woven and may restrict airflow in the heating and cooling system.  This may cause the system to work harder and run longer.

QUICK STATISTICS

– The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends changing the filter every three months.  An easy way to remember to change your filter is to do so at the start of every season.

– The EPA says that indoor levels of many pollutants are often 2M5 times higher than outdoor levels.  The EPA has identified indoor air pollution as one of the top five urgent environmental risks to public health.

– According to the EPA, the average person spends ninety percent of his/her life indoors.

– Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) declares May to be “National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month.”

– According to the EPA, air fresheners release VOCs into the air, and scented candles and incense may contain particulates, soot and chemicals.  These also only provide temporary relief from odors by masking them in one particular room but will do nothing to remove the odors from the entire home.
