Gettinga breath of fresh air is not as easy as you think, especially at thistime of year when the air is thick with pollen, pollutants andallergens. Inside your own home however, it could be a different story.

Springtime heralds bad news for asthma and allergy sufferers, due to all the pollen and harmful dust outside.

Insideis not much better. Leftover winter dampness combined with cooking andcleaning creates condensation – the ideal breeding ground for mould andmildew. The result is a toxic living environment for the family andpotential respiratory problems, especially for little ones.

CONTROL THE AIR INSIDE
Whileyou can’t control the air outside, you can control the air in your ownhome. Fresh purified air can make a difference to everyday health,especially if someone at home is prone to respiratory problems.

That’swhere an HRV home ventilation system comes in – the only homeventilation system approved by the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation’sSensitive Choice Programme.
