| I thought pollution was outside. Why should I be worried about my air indoors? |
|
We spend 90% of our time every day indoors. Plus, today's
efficient, airtight homes are excellent at conserving
energy, but that also makes them better at trapping potentially
irritating particles inside the home. With the rising
number of people who suffer from allergies and asthma,
indoor air quality has become more and more important
to our general health and well-being.

| What kinds of things are in my home air that might be affecting my family's health
and comfort? |
A wide range of particulate matter can be in your home's air, including:
| •
Dust • Animal hair and dander •
Mold spores • Smoke • Bacteria
|
•
Pollen • Dust mites • Lint
• Cooking grease
|
|
|
|
| What does Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) mean? |
|
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) is recognized by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a fair and objective measure of various air cleaner
technologies. CADR provides the number of cubic feet of clean air a unit delivers each minute.
A higher CADR means a greater amount of clean air is being delivered to your home.

|
| I keep my home very clean. Could the air in my home still not be clean? |
|
Yes. Consider that the average home generates 40 pounds
of dust for every 1500 square feet of space. While regular
home cleaning is an excellent measure to reduce exposure
to irritants and pollutants, it's simply impossible to
remove enough of the material by hand to make your home's
air as comfortable as it can be.

| What can Trane do to help make my home's air cleaner? |
|
The best thing you can do is to remove as many of the
particles from your home's air as you can. That's why
we've introduced the revolutionary new
TRANE CleanEffects™
air filtration system. It works
as part of your total home comfort system to remove up
to an industry-leading 99.98% of the airborne allergens
from your home's filtered air. There is no other system
you can buy that matches the effectiveness of TRANE CleanEffects.

|
| How is TRANE CleanEffects™ different from the air cleaners I see advertised on TV? |
No other air filter can even come close to the effectiveness of a
TRANE CleanEffects™
Take a look at this table and see:
TRANE CleanEffects also generates a minimal amount of
ozone, less than 5 PPB (parts per billion), well below
the 10 PPB FDA voluntary emission limit for medical devices
and significantly below some ionic-type room appliances
that may reach hundreds of PPBs. Also, since the unit
is not typically placed in your home's living areas like
room-size cleaners are, there is no annoying noise that
can make it difficult for you to relax.
