But this weather-tight efficiency has brought about a whole new problem — indoor air pollution. To help you, we created this graph using findings from the US CDC. According to the US Centers for Disease Control, the pollution in most homes can be categorized into three danger levels. These pollutants are …

… the common causes and aggravations for allergies, asthma, and other breathing problems. Do any members of your family suffer from the health effects shown?

You’re probably wondering if your home is weather-tight, how these health-threatening pollutants got in. You may not realize it but houses normally “breathe,” allowing air to flow in and out. A tight home reduces the amount of air that is exchanged.

Consequently, indoor allergens, particulates and infectious agents can become trapped in your home. This accumulation of pollutants is the cause of many health and breathing problems.

In fact, the air in your home may be 100 times more polluted than the air outside.

The Department of Energy released a report that many people will find interesting.  It found that while older heating and cooling systems can lead to bloated energy bills, it may not be the only reason why you’re paying more than necessary.  Instead, there’s a part of your home that you may have never considered when talking about energy efficiency.

This report found that as much as 25-40% of the heating or cooling energy produced by furnaces, air conditioners, or heat pumps in this country is wasted!  The reason improperly sealed air ducts!  Whether you have flexible ductwork or metal ductwork, both can have issues which waste perfectly good conditioned air.

That’s not the only problem with leaky ducts…Faulty ducts also deposit dirty unconditioned air from garages and crawlspaces into your living areas, like bedrooms and family rooms.  Ever wonder why you’re constantly dusting?  That may be the culprit!

Also, when cool, air conditioned air escapes your ducts, it will often pass through warm walls.  The end result is moisture trapped behind those walls.  It’s not unusual for that moisture to turn into mold.  As you well know, mold hidden in a home is a health issue, especially for allergy and asthma sufferers.

Last, leaky air ducts make your HVAC unit work much harder.  The additional work places considerably more stress on your equipment; it must constantly run to get your home to your desired temperature.  An overworked heating/cooling system is far more likely to breakdown prematurely and need repair.

To discover if your home has leaky duct issues…give One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning a call at (402) 403-5702.  One of our highly trained technicians will perform a complimentary air analysis of your home.

Helping 89 Homeowners by “Giving Away” *$3,559 Furnaces for $995 with Off-Season Central Air…

(This is great financial news if your furnace is over 10 years old)

Dear Friend,

Yes, it’s absolutely true. You can actually replace your old (and probably very inefficient) furnace and air conditioner (heat pumps also) as a package for an average of $2,564 less than you would have to pay in-season.

Let me explain.

Every year, the months of February, March and April can “Kill” my business. I can end up losing a ton of money during these “Killer” months and it can take me the remaining nine months to make up for them. And, I’m willing to do what it takes to make sure that doesn’t happen in 2012.

My Problem Is Your Opportunity

I’ve decided to stop focusing on making a profit during the “killer” months. If I can only keep my doors open and all of my employees working during February, March and April I will hopefully come out ahead for the other months.

Here’s how this (admittedly daring) offer came about.

As I said before – every year February, March and April can really slow down. However, I refuse to let my technicians (who I have invested a considerable amount into their training) go home without work. So, I placed a purchase order with a major distributor for 89 complete home comfort systems and significantly discounted them for immediate installation. This way I can pay all of my overhead and insure my technicians will not go home without work.

These are brand new models. And, they are NOT seconds or “blems”. They are factory-fresh air conditioners and furnaces (I also have heat pumps) and have a full factory warranty.

Here’s How To Get A Furnace For Peanuts

By putting this furnace, air conditioner and coil package together (heat pumps and air handlers also) and then combining my purchased price for an Air Conditioner and Coil with only the labor and materials to install the furnace, 89 homeowners will receive the deal of a lifetime to buy a complete home comfort system for an average of $2,564 less than our in-season prices!

So, if you buy one of these 89 new, air conditioners (or heat pumps), I am “giving” you the furnace (or air handler) and all I ask for is the $995 in labor and extra materials to have your indoor unit installed.

Here’s How
Just call us at (402) 403-5702. One of my Comfort Advisors will come out and perform a complete energy analysis.

The Comfort Advisor will show you the in-season price of the air-conditioner (heat pump) that fits your home. Then, he will show you the substantial savings you can take advantage of now. And, it will include all labor and installation materials. Nothing is left out.

Warmly,

John McCarthy Sr.

P.S. Financing available with approved credit

*$3,559 is based on a 2.5 ton requirement – different size requirements will vary system cost and savings.

According to the EPA and other indoor environmental experts, the relative humidity inside your home should fall somewhere between 30 and 50 percent, depending on the temperature outside.  More specifically, when the outside temperature is 20 degrees or above, the recommended relative humidity for inside is 35 to 40 percent.

Why are proper levels of humidity so important to your skin (the body’s largest organ) and general good health?

Low humidity causes dry skin, dry hair, itching and chapping.  When skin becomes dry and irritated, eczema can flare.  Mucous membranes in your nose and throat dry out, increasing discomfort and susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness.  With low humidity levels, body moisture evaporates so quickly that you fell chilled even at higher thermostat settings.  Dry skin can look tight, dull and flaky.

Adding a humidifier to you home can remedy these problems and help skin look younger and healthier.
