Haven Properties home reduces medical costs for Atlanta family
Posted by admin under: Main Nov 20
Home buyers are finding a difference in a Haven Properties high performance home — one with EarthCraft construction that not only controls air intake, but also filters fresh air at the industry’s best level, keeping pollen at bay.
“Last fall, we took our daughter to the emergency room about once a week because of allergies to pollen. We thought we’d have to move out of state,” said Jody Madden, whose family lives in Forsyth County, Ga.
“Since last October, when we moved into our new Haven Properties home, we’ve had no trips to the ER,” she said.
Haven Properties relies on a Honeywell Air Ventilation system, which brings fresh air in and circulates it throughout the home in controlled amounts based on the home’s size and number of rooms. It keeps homes from losing conditioned air and prevents indoor air from becoming stale or filled with indoor pollutants.
All fresh air brought into the home goes through a Honeywell Air Purifier. The purifier’s four-inch pleated filters trap more particles and up to five times more pollutants than regular air filters.
But for the Madden family, whose daughter’s weekly emergency room trips led to many missed days of school, the clean air is far more than just a housekeeping convenience. In fact, a quick search of the Internet shows yearly estimates of missed days at work and school ranging from 10,000 to 100 million days. While the numbers may not be firm, the seriousness of the situation is apparent, and it was too much for this family.
“Our daughter’s problems were related to the outside air somehow getting in,” said Madden. “We worried about building a brand new home because our other one was new, too. That’s why we looked for the EarthCraft construction. It’s a great investment.”
Haven Properties, Inc. is recognized as a builder of luxury, high-performance homes for Atlanta area buyers.
