HHFx was created as a result of its founder’s background and experience within the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) industry. For over 15 years he watched local HVAC contractors unsuccessfully promote the importance of indoor air quality and the health issues poor air quality can cause. HVAC contractors have always been targeted by indoor air quality product manufacturers as the primary education channel. This has clearly proven ineffective as public awareness on this issue is very limited.
This problem has been exacerbated by how well insulated homes have now become due to the focus on energy efficiency. While this may help save money with lower electric bills it has created a potentially toxic environment inside the “tight” home. Fresh air is no longer “seeping” in like it did 25 years ago. Fresh air exchanges within the home are vital for good indoor air quality.
