If yours is like most families, you spend anywhere from 60% to 90% of your time indoors (work & home). A side-effect of today's tighter energy-saving construction methods and new engineered building materials has been an increase in indoor air polution. 50% of all illnesses and allergies are either caused or aggravated by unhealthy living spaces. The result: increased absenteeism and poor work and school prerformance.

Indoor air pollution is "among the top five environmental risks to public health". . . reaching levels as much as 10, 25, even 100 times higher than outside air according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Portable air cleaners, humidifiers and dehumidifiers provide only partial solutions.

We offer a wide range of whole-house healthy air solutions including:

• Professional dehumidifiers for damp basements. These triple the performance of standard models with less than two-thirds the operating cost. Humidity control brings relief to allergy and asthma sufferers by eliminating dust mite allergens and mold spores from your home's air.
• Whole-house humidification during heating season. Heated air dries out mucous membranes making family members more susceptible to respiratory infection. Humidification has the added benefit of keeping you more comfortable at lower thermostat settings -- thus cutting energy costs.
• Whole-house air cleaning. The most cost-effective and efficient way to clean your home's air is with a filter or electronic air cleaner incorporated into your heating and cooling system. We offer solutions that will eliminate up to 99.98% of indoor pollutants, including: dust, pollen, pet dander, tobacco smoke, cooking fumes, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that come from cleaning products, modern construction materials, and stain-resistent carpeting and fabrics.
• Energy-efficient ventilation. Before the introduction of energy-efficient home construction, ventilation was not a concern. Homes were drafty. Now homes are built tighter, and older homes have been retrofitted with increased insulation, weather stripping and energy-efficient windows and doors. Simply put, today's homes do not get adequate air. Pollutants get trapped in the home environment. We offer solutions that exchange stale inside air with fresh outside air while retaining seasonal heating and cooling.
• Combustion analysis and carbon monoxide monitoring. Deaths by carbon monoxide are rare, but long-term low level exposures are alarmingly common. But because symptoms are so similar to those of colds, flu and other respiratory conditions, they often escape diagnosis by medical professionals.
  
  We analyze combustion and make necessary adjustments to all your fuel-burning appliances as part of every annual tune-up. Robert H. Ranck is the only greater Lancaster contractor certified in carbon monoxide and combustion analysis by the National Comfort Institute.
  
  The only way to fully protect your family is with constant monitoring. Unfortunately, the CO monitors sold in stores fail to detect such low level contamination. We offer professional home monitors that are five time as sensitive. These employ the same electrochemical sensor technology found in the precision instruments we use in our inspections.
