“I was late for school because I was in the shower too long!”....

TRUE STORY from a Brothers custom-er. This student knew how long to stay in the shower each morning by when he would run out of hot water. Once his parents purchased their new Noritz Tankless Water Heater from Brothers, he was in the hot shower for so long he lost track of time and was actually late for school! Another strong testi-monial for both Brothers and Tank-less Water Heaters. Never run out of hot water again with a Tankless Water Heater.

Homeowners are often concerned about sealing their house too tightly; however, this is very unlikely in many older homes. A certain amount of fresh air is needed for good indoor air quality, and there are specifications that set the minimum amount of fresh air needed for a house. If you are concerned about how tight your home is, hire a contractor, such as a Home Energy Rater, who can use diagnostic tools to measure your home's actual air leakage. If your home is too tight, a fresh air ventilation system may be recommended.

After any project where you reduce air leakage, have a heating and cooling technician check to make sure that your combustion appliances (gas- or oil-fired furnace, water heater, and dryer) are venting properly. For additional information on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) issues related to homes, such as combustion safety, visit EPA’s Indoor Air Quality Web site at www.epa.gov/iaq.

KNOW YOUR DUCTS

In houses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house. But in typical houses, about 20% of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. The result is higher utility bills and difficulty keeping the house comfortable, no matter how the thermostat is set.

Some signs that your home may have leaky, poorly insulated, or inefficient ducts:

• you have high summer and winter utility bills;

• you have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool;

• you have stuffy rooms that never seem to feel comfortable;

• your ducts are located in an attic, unfinished basement, crawlspace, or the garage;

• you find tangled or kinked flexible ducts in your system.

SIMPLE STEPS TO IMPROVING DUCT PERFORMANCE

Because ducts are often concealed in walls, ceiling, attics, and basements, repairing them can be difficult. But there are things that you can do to improve duct performance in your house.

Start by sealing air leaks using mastic sealant or metal tape and insulating all the ducts that you can access. Never use duct tape, as it is not long-lasting.

Also, make sure that the connections at vents and registers are well-sealed where they meet the floors, walls, and ceiling. These are common locations to find leaks and disconnected ductwork.

The Problem With Indoor Air.

Indoor air pollution is considered by the EPA

to be America’s No. 1 environmental health

problem. Tightly sealed homes may be more

energy efficient, but they also trap pollutants and

microbes indoors causing allergies, odors, mold

and illness.

Now Brothers has a solution. The

EnergyMiser™ Air-Scrubber purification system

is a three-stage process that has proven to

drastically reduce odors, smoke, mold, fungi,

chemical odors and bacteria

found on surfaces in the

air and your home.

Airborne bacteria and

mold reduction has been

tested at over 90%!

How does it work?

Step 1: We install a

super-high efficient 5”

thick, MERV-16* Air

Filtration Unit, rated “Best Buy” by Consumer

Reports, to remove airborne particles such as

pollen, animal dander and household dust, from

the air stream.

Step 2 : We will do an intense

cleaning of your Evaporator Coil

and Pan to remove any algae,

mold or slime buildup.

Step3: We install the Air-

S c r u b b e r P H I C e l l o r

Photohydroionization Cell

manufactured and tested

by RGF Environmental

Group. This cell radiates

Oxidizers that attack and

destroy pathogens in the

air such as viruses, mold,

bac te r i a and odo rs

without causing any harm

to the occupants or the

envi ronment . These

n a t u r a l l y f r i e n d l y

o x i d i z e r s s u c h a s

Hydroxides, Hydro-peroxides,

Ozonide Ions and Super Oxide

Ions, then breaks themselves

down into harmless oxygen &

hydrogen. The system doesn't

create any chemicals that remain

in the air and it’s completely

harmless. The PHI Cell is installed in the duct

work of your air-conditioner and is completely

out of sight. Since the air in your home is

exchanged every four hours, the unit com-

pletely scrubs the air to eliminate 98% of

viruses, mold, bacteria and odors.

Isn’t this just like those UV Lights?

No. Ultra Violet light is used when mold is

discovered on an air-conditioner coil. UV light

is effective only when shining

directly on mold, but does not affect

airborne pathogens such as viruses, bacteria,

spores.

Is this like an Ionic Air Cleaner?

No. Ionic Air Cleaners operated by

electrically charging a field between metal

plates. Particles are charged and attracted to a

collection grid which must be

cleaned on a regular schedule.

Ionic cleaners only remove

particles, not bacteria, viruses or

mold.

How will I know the PHI Cell is

working?

You can smell the difference. In a test at a

nursing home in Aiken, SC, where they had 34

elderly patients in diapers, this technology

completely eliminated the odor within 48 hours

of installation.

This product is approved by the USDA for

food purification and approved by the Chinese

Government as the only device which provides

protection against the SARS Virus. Why risk

getting sick?
