EZBreathe ended my fight with condensation on the windows!

I am not much of a letter writer; however, I must write to tell you that
this unit is the best investment we have made in a long time. You are always
skeptical buying anything sight unseen and online! The start of my wife's
typical day was to wipe all of our windows every morning. We purchased a new
construction home in 2003. We always had moisture and ice on all of our
windows in the winter months. We had fans running just to move the air on
certain windows. We had the EZ Breathe unit installed on Monday December
22nd. It may be hard to believe but in only 2 days there is no longer any
moisture on ANY of our windows. It only took me 5 years to find this unit!!
I would recommend this unit to all!

"EZ Breathe Saved My Life!"

In the first part of Nov. 2008 I had one of your units installed in my home. Prior to that, I was using oxygen every night and some during the day. I also was taking 3 to 4 breathing treatments with a nebulizer every day. Well that has all stopped! I have not taken a breathing treatment since. I have also not used oxygen at all during the day . It is so wonderful not to have those hoses up my nose all the time and to be able to breathe easier. That you very much for that.

Now here is the real story!

Yesterday afternoon I was baking a pizza in the oven. After that I shut the oven off. After that I went on with my day and evening and went to bed. That night I woke up to go to the bathroom and I thought I smelled gas in the air. I checked my oven. It was off and no gas smell when I opened the oven door. I went back to bed. Woke up at 6:30AM today. Again I could smell gas. I checked the oven again. Again it was ok. I look at the top burner knobs and one of them was on on low.I guess I had bumped that burner knob and knocked on to low position. Being the stove has electronic pilot lights it did not lite because it had passed the liting position and was just letting gas into the air. I quickly turn the knob off and turned on my range hood fan and my ceiling fans. But I honestly believe that if your ventilation system had not be running full bore, I would have been dead or very ill or have blown the house up. But thanks to your system. I am alive and well today as I sit here and type this message many thanks for your wonderful product. I honestly believe it saved my life!

Thanks again,
Rod Marshall

DIYNetwork "Sweat Equity" Show

EZBreathe was recently featured on the DIYNetwork show "Sweat Equity"! Here is the background information. The shows producers approached EZBreathe last fall after researching state of the art technologies to use in a planned basement finishing job in Minnesota. They wanted to know more about EZBreathe, and after a brief time, knew they wanted to feature EZBreathe on the show.

The episode was shot over the winter, and was shown from August 6 to August 18.

The shows producers did an excellent job of communicating the importance, both regarding health and increased value, to ensuring good ventilation in the basement. And they knew EZBreathe was the answer. We couldn't agree more!

EZBreathe and the finished basement!

We here at EZBreathe have lately been receiving calls from homeowners from several different states (Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts). What we are being told is that the code enforcement, or city inspectors, are telling them if they want to finish the basement and use it as a living space, that they have to provide mechanical ventilation. In one case, the inspector actually recommended calling us! These were new (and very welcome) types of calls. Some further investigation found that there are requirements in the International Building Code to provide for either natural or mechanical ventilation to ensure adequate fresh air for finished basements. Most states and cities have adopted the code, but not all are enforcing it. There is a somewhat cryptic allowance for ventilation with an appropriate number and size of basement windows. But lets face it, opening basement windows allows the dampest air outside to enter the basement. And, what about during the winter? So is a theoretical ventilation strategy really answering the need?

It is our position that the best strategy is to provide a mechanical means to ensure air exchange not just in the basement, but throughout the home, and the most economical and proven method for doing that is our EZBreathe Ventilation System!

Asthma and Allergy Guidelines Presentation

At the June IAQA 11th Annual Meeting and Exposition, there were a number of excellent sessions. I found the one on "Home Environmental Assessments for the National Asthma and Allergy Guidelines" to be one of the best educational sessions I've attended in years.

The Indoor Air Quality Association is taking a leadership role in partnering with physicians to provide home assessments for patients suffering from allergies or asthma. Physicians don't have the time or resources to evaluate homes, and provide realistic advice and solutions to their patients. They need professionals with construction knowledge, and knowledge of allergy and asthma trigggers, to do home assessments. The cost effectiveness of in home air quality assessments versus medical interventions (prescriptions, emergency room visits, etc.) has been shown by various medical studies. When the actual air quality issues were directly addressed, such as with better ventilation, the patients experienced relief with less need for inhalers, and fewer visits to the emergency rooms.

IAQA has sent a poster to physicians, and allergy/asthma clinics to get the word out that member organizations, like EZBreathe Ventilation, can help in this important effort!

Throw away your ionizer.

According to the American Lung Association's Breathe EASY Fall 2006/Winter 2007 publication, "These ozone-generating products are falsely marketed as "air purifiers" that produce "safe" levels of ozone...The truth is ozone-generating devices are neither safe nor extremely effective...(and they) produce significant increases in other polutants, such as formaldehyde and fine particles, which are also harmful to the health.''

In related news, Sharper Image Corp. filed for bankruptcy on Feb. 20, 2008, citing "negative publicity", and litigation over Ionic Breeze Air Purifiers.
