| Air cleaners
Air cleaners are used to filter air inside the home to help reduce pollution and other harmful air. They do this in two different ways. The first is a filter, generally using activated charcoal, that removes most large airborne particles from the air.

| Attic fans
During hot weather, the temperature in attics can reach 150 degrees. When the weather is cold, the difference between attic temperatures and the heated rooms below can cause condensation which lowers the effectiveness of your insulation and can shorten the life of your roof.

| Ceiling fans
Ceiling fans are large fans attached to the ceiling that help cool and circulate the air in individual rooms of a house or apartment. Using ceiling fans in the home can help you save money on your utility bills.

| Humidifiers
If you've ever wondered what meteorologists mean by 'relative humidity,' here's a simple explanation: Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, so if the temperature rises while the amount of moisture remains the same, the air is 'relatively' less humid.

| Programmable thermostats
A thermostat is simply a device that measures the air temperature in your home and turns on the heat or air conditioning whenever the temperature reaches a certain level.

| When to use a humidifier
If you frequently get electric shocks during the winter whenever you touch something, that's a sign that the air in your home is too dry. Having too little moisture in the air can cause sinus problems and dry skin, and make wood furniture shrink.
