Construction Solutions

With fire safety in mind, the DBX1000-M metal dryer box from Construction Solutions minimizes fire hazards by providing a recessed area in the wall for the dryer vent hose, thereby reducing the possibility of kinks in the hose, which largely contribute to fires caused by lint build-up. It also allows the gas line connection to be made within the cavity, and the box can be rotated in any direction to accommodate both upward or downward venting.

Honeywell

Meeting the American Lung Association's Healthy House guidelines, the Honeywell F300 Whole-House Electronic Air Cleaner removes up to a reported 98 percent of airborne particles passing through the system. Installed directly inline with the home's HVAC ductwork, the unit gives particles an electrical charge and collects them like a magnet. For FREE information, visit http://pb.ims.ca/5336-134

York

It's all about giving home owners options, and York's Hybrid Comfort System does just that. An electric heat pump provides warmth during mild winter weather, while a gas furnace provides supplemental heat during colder days. The company says the system can contribute to big savings on utility bills and that the units may also help homeowners qualify for utility and tax incentives.

Owens Corning

Nothing is worse than noisy ductwork in the middle of the night. Owens Corning's

QuietR ducts offer, according to the company, 75 percent more energy efficiency than plain sheet metal ducts. Air leaks are reduced eightfold, resulting in less sound transmission through the house and, most importantly for some, the pops and creaks found in normal sheet metal ducts are greatly reduced.
