The Skuttle “Happy House” — Your Assurance of
Enhanced IAQ
Healthful indoor air (often called indoor air quality or IAQ) is signicantly
cleaner than the air in many of today’s homes. It also contains appropri-
ate levels of moisture and fresh outside air to aid the health and comfort
of residents.
Humidication
In cold weather, dry indoor air often makes homes drier than a desert. Act-
ing like a sponge, the parched air absorbs moisture wherever it can nd
it—furniture, plants, pets...even people. The result is a variety of discom-
forts and problems, including dry skin, stuffy noses, hacky coughs, sore
throats, allergies, damage to furniture and woodwork, wilted plants and
static electricity.
Too much or too little humidity in a home promotes an increase in bacteria,
viruses, fungi, respiratory ailments and other unhealthy conditions. Skuttle
humidiers restore a home’s relative humidity to a balanced, healthier,
more comfortable 30-to-45 percent range. And Skuttle makes humidiers
to t more furnace systems, oor plans and water types than any other
manufacturer.
Filtration
Your body’s respiratory system is designed to lter out airborne particles
that are three-to-ve microns in diameter. Smaller particles can be inhaled,
potentially causing serious health problems. The smallest contaminants (a
single micron or less) are dispersed through HVAC ductwork and make up
about 99 percent of the particles circulating throughout a typical home.
Skuttle duct-mounted air cleaners capture most of these contaminants in
a deep-pleated lter which traps far more particulates over a longer period
than standard, at-lter designs. The results are cleaner indoor air, longer
lter life, longer furnace life and a healthier living environment.
