Dowd’s HVAC Announces A New Subsidiary

TrueCLEANAir™ Provides Indoor Air Quality Solutions

Dowd’s Heating & Air Conditioning Inc., a family-owned business serving the greater Philadelphia area since 1997, today announced a new subsidiary, TrueCLEANAir™, dedicated especially to the identification and mitigation of indoor air quality problems.  According to owner Joe Dowd, the company is unique to the area in specializing in providing homeowners with indoor quality solutions that not only improve a family’s general health and well-being, but improve the energy efficiency and operating performance of their existing heating and cooling systems.

Dowd understands the importance of clean pollutant-free indoor air quality and the peace of mind from improving that air quality because he was his own first customer. “We have three children in our family with asthmatic conditions,” he explains.  “The kids weren’t sleeping through the night, and we weren’t sleeping through the night because the kids weren’t.  And it wasn’t that unusual that an asthmatic attack resulted in a trip to the emergency ward.”

Dowd’s wife Karen scoured the Internet for a solution.  “Look, I’m a heating and cooling systems guy,” Dowd notes. “That’s my business.  I knew that just putting a humidifier on or changing a filter wasn’t going to make an appreciable difference.  The problem with today’s homes and HVAC systems is that they do too good of a job of keeping fresh air out.  That means all the bacteria and airborne particles from pets, people, furniture, cleaning fluids and everything else stays in your home.  And if you’ve got any kind of health issues, even just seasonal allergies, that’s going to cause a problem.”

The solution the Dowds discovered is a TrueClean™ Enhanced Whole House Air Cleaning System from Honeywell.  “It literally worked overnight,” Dowd notes.  “My kids slept comfortably without an attack for the first time ever. The quality of the air they’re breathing is equivalent to being in a hospital or  commercial clean room.  It’s a quality you can achieve at an affordable price.”

He adds, “I was so impressed with the system that I decided to provide what I had learned about indoor air quality and how it can be significantly improved to my customers.  A company dedicated exclusively to creating and installing indoor air quality solutions.  If you live in the greater Philadelphia area, which Forbes magazine rates as the most toxic area in terms of air pollution in the nation, you’ve got an indoor air quality issue.  You’re going to want someone who really knows if he’s thought about it at all, to installing heating and cooling systems.”

TrueCLEANAir™ services include comprehensive testing of indoor air quality both before and after system installation. “We design a system that best mitigates the problem,” Dowd says.  “We follow up to make sure the solution we’ve designed is doing its job.  Our solutions achieve the highest possible filtration of bacteria and particles that can affect your health.  Nobody cares about your air quality the way TrueCLEANAir™ does.”
