Good Indoor Air Quality Means Comfort (NAPSA)—Homeowners can breathe easier about the quality of = the air in their homes. A numberof new technologies in the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) industry are helping improve indoorair quality (IAQ). Improving a home’s IAQ is more than just proper ventilation and installing ultraviolet air treatment systems and air cleaners, however. Improving IAQ and selecting the right HVAC equipment can also fix a home’s humidity levels and air stratification, while conserving energy, saving money and, most important, increasing comfort. Heat pumps, for example, remove heat from outdoor air to deliver furnace-like warmth indoors, producing a comfortable environment. The York Affinity™ unit’s exclusive hot heat pump technology produces discharge temperatures, on average, 10 degrees warmer than the discharge temperatures of standard heat pumps. The result is greater comfort, less dependence on supplemental heating and lower energy costs. This new heat pump technology can also keep a homein the comfort zone consistently andefficiently, with better circulation and fewer hot or cold spots. This offers tremendous value to the homeowner through added comfort. When matched with the appropriate Affinity variable-speed air handler with Rx technology, these The better a home’s indoor air quality, the more comfortableit is for residents. heat pumps become part of a home comfort system that keeps water, mold and other IAQ contaminants out of the air, while offer- ing customized comfort performancein any climate. Longer operating cycles circulate air longer, reducingair stratification and further contributing to home comfort. Fewer stops and starts also enhance already low noise levels. In addition to improving the quality and comfort of the air, these units are also moreefficient. Available with energy-efficiency ratings of 138 through 18 SEER (seasonal energy-efficiency ratio), these new heat pumps double the efficiency of many older units.
