Indoor Air Quality: Nationwide Health Issue

Statistic: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of today's homes is literally unfit to breathe...tests reveal contaminant levels as high as 500% greater than the air outside. (Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America)

Recent studies have shown that today's tight, super-insulated homes are great for saving energy, but not very good at all when it comes to the quality of the air you breathe. With studies showing indoor air contaminant levels in today's homes at a record high level - and IAQ - related health problems rising dramatically - something had to be done. In this part of the country, it's Gibb's IAQ Team to the rescue. 100% locally owned and operated since 1915, Robert Gibb & Sons is the name to depend on for solutions and service second to none, And indoor air quality is no exception. Rest assured with Robert Gibb & Sons, you'll breathe easy again.

Did you know?
The EPA has ranked poor indoor air quality as one of the country's most critical environmental issues.
American's spend 70% of their time indoors.
That 50% of today's respiratory conditions and related health problems can be either directly or indirectly be traced to poor indoor air quality. 

These alarming statistics are not empty claims. Test after test, study after study...results show people are getting sick from breathing the air inside their own homes. IAQ related allergy, asthma and other respiratory conditions are on the rise. And that means more frequent visits to the doctor's office, higher treatment and medication costs and health insurance rates that just keep going up and up. Where does it stop? Who can help? Gibb can help. Gibb us a call!

What filters the air in your home?
If your air system doesn't, than you do!

UV Light:
One of many solutions from Gibb is the In-Duct UV Air Purifier. Designed to be installed in the return or supply duct, as the airflow passes through, the UV Air Purifier destroys the contaminants that would otherwise be distributed throughout the ventilation system. The UV Air Purifier destroys mold, bacteria, allergens, viruses and germs, chemicals, VOC's, formaldehyde, cigarette smoke, diesel fumes, cooking and pet odors, and thousands of other contaminants.

Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV):
ERV's bring the fresh air back into your house without compromising its efficiency. An ERV exhausts pollutants and excess moisture to the outside, efficiently recovers heat from the exhaust stream during cold weather, and pre-cools and pre-dehumidifies incoming air during hot, muggy weather. This means better IAQ for your family and less risk of moisture-related damage to your home. The key to its success is the exchange core. Exhaust and outside air streams cross paths in the core, transferring both heat and moisture in the process. Let an ERV bring fresh air back into your house or business today.

Automatic Humidifier:
An Automatic Humidifier is a computer-equipped, completely automated, "no touch" humidifier. It does not need constant manual adjustments. It measures the outdoor temperature and humidity and constantly adjusts your homes humidity to its optimum level. An Automatic Humidifier will eliminate parched, dry air throughout the area and offer optimum comfort, convenience, and preservation to your home or business.
