York Indoor Air Quality
A study conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found that indoor air could actually be more polluted than outdoor air. Considering that most individuals spend up to 90 percent of each day  indoors--more than half of that time at home--you may be experiencing indoor air pollution without even knowing it. Today, homes are sealed more tightly to conserve energy. Unfortunately, this seals in mold, pollen, bacteria and other pollutants. And since the U.S. EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health, many homeowners are concerned.
Fortunately, there's a solution to most indoor air quality problems. York offers an array of choices designed to ventilate stale indoor air, zap airborne germs, trap airborne particles and moisturize parched air.

Bryant Perfect Heat™ Perfect
Humidity™
Perfect
Heat™ Perfect Humidity™ line of furnaces and heat
pump systems provide quieter operation, improved efficiency
and more consistent temperatures from floor-to-ceiling and
room-to-room throughout the home.
 The furnaces and heat pumps pair variable-speed heating with
the automatic temperature and humidity controls in the Bryant
Thermidistat™ for increased comfort and proven reliability.
A Thermidistat takes the place of a conventional thermostat,
automatically controlling both temperature and humidity from
a single panel. It adjusts the relative humidity setpoint
based on the outdoor temperature. Ideal humidity levels provide
increased comfort year-round.
Perfect Heat™ Furnaces
The Bryant furnaces with Perfect Heat™ and Perfect
Humidity™ are designed for quiet, two-stage heating.
Exclusive two-stage controls closely match the capacity of
the furnace to the needs of the home. The two-stage furnace
 operates on low-stage heating 90 percent of the time and adds
high-stage heating time only when outdoor temperatures fall.
Two-stage units run more slowly and 40 percent longer than
conventional furnaces, so the air is cleaned longer through
the filter. With sealed combustion in the 90 plus percent
efficient furnaces, the system brings in fresh outside air
and reduces drafts.
The Perfect Heat™ gas furnace systems are available
in Bryant models Plus 80t, Plus 80v, Plus 90i and Plus 90t.
Perfect Humidity™
When one of Bryant's variable speed furnaces (Plus 80v or
Plus 90i) or variable speed fan coils (FK4 or FV4) is matched
with a Bryant Thermidistat™, Perfect Humidity™
is the result. "With the ability to control humidity,
homeowners are much more comfortable, plus they can combat
the growth of mold, mildew and unpleasant odors within their
homes," Wright said.
 The
Thermidistat™ monitors the temperature and humidity
levels inside of the home and can adjust the operation of
the system if either deviates from the desired levels. To
remove excess humidity during the cooling season, the Thermidistat™
can adjust the indoor fan and increase the moisture-removing
(latent) capacity of the system.
"Perfect Humidity™ also has a 'cool to dehumidify'
mode that will operate the system to dehumidify the home --
even if temperature is at or below the desired temperature
setting. During this mode, the latent capacity of the system
is increased, which allows it to really wring the moisture
out of the air," Wright added. Not only does the Perfect
Humidity™ system keep homeowners more comfortable and
prevent the growth of unwanted organisms, but it also helps
protect wood furniture, hardwood floors and other household
furnishings prone to damage by exposure to high humidity.
Trane CleanEffects™
TRANE CleanEffects utilizes patented, breakthrough air cleaning technology to remove up to an astounding 99.98% of airborne allergens from the air that passes through the filter, making it 8 times more effective than even the best HEPA room filters and up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1" filter. What's more, TRANE CleanEffects has been performance-tested by LMS Technologies and Environmental Health and Engineering, Inc. (EH&E), and the results verified by professors from the Harvard School of Public Health, so you know you're getting an air filtration system like no other.
 LMS Technologies is a technology consulting company that specializes in air flow measurement, filtration testing and particle analysis. Environmental Health & Engineering is an environmental consulting and engineering services company that is dedicated to ensuring safe and productive environments, and is co-founded by Dr. John D. Spengler, PhD of the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard.
And new research conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, in collaboration with scientists at Environmental Health and Engineering Inc., (EH&E) shows that Trane CleanEffects™ removes more than 99 percent of the common flu, or influenza A virus, from the filtered air.
