Air Quality

Are there new refrigerants available that are safer for the environment?
Yes, and the most promising one is R-410A, also referred to as AZ-20. It provides high-efficiency cooling along with other substantial benefits for the environment.

Be friendly to your ozone.

New refrigerants are being developed for air conditioners because traditional refrigerants, if they accidentally escape from an aging system, can cause damage to the ozone layer of the earth's atmosphere. Scientists have associated ozone depletion with potential health risks, and many countries, including the United States, are taking steps to reverse the trend.
The culprit in traditional refrigerants (R-12 and R-22) is a chlorine atom, which reacts with ozone in the upper atmosphere and destroys it. R-410A, chemically known as an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon), contains no chlorine and will not damage the ozone layer.

Influenza viruses are spread from person-to-person in respiratory droplets of coughs or sneezes

During flu season and throughout the year, families are exposed to viruses that circulate in the air they breathe indoors,
so taking measures to prevent illness makes sense. Getting a flu shot, eliminating germs on surfaces through cleaning,
and washing hands often are important steps to avoid getting the flu. Yet, many people are still susceptible to the virus
in the air in their home.

With the highest clean air delivery rate in the industry, the Trane CleanEffects whole-house system is another powerful tool
in battling the flu virus at home.
