Introducing Phenomenal Aire

Clean Air Title picHave you ever felt invigorated, awake and alert while hiking on a high mountain trail or while walking along the shoreline of an ocean?

If you have, then you’re already familiar with the beneficial effects and feelings associated with breathing air filled with high concentrations of ions. Ions are essential to the natural process of air purification and essential to healthy living.

Phenomenal Aire Cold Plasma Generator technology can offer the same feeling of a hike on a high mountain trail or a stroll along the ocean’s edge…without leaving home or work.

The truth about Indoor Air Quality

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside our homes, schools and offices is often two to five times more polluted than the outside air. On average we spend 90% of our time indoors. The air we breathe is filled with pathogens, odors, mold, and fungus spores.

  • Kills Viruses
  • Kills Bacteria
  • Kills Mold Spores
  • Eliminates Allergens
  • Eliminates Odors
  • Breaks Down VOCs
    (Volatile Organic Compounds)

Cleaning Air Naturally

Emulating nature, Phenomenal Aire Cold Plasma Generators (CPG) produce an electric field filled with highly charged ions.   This electrified field is known as a plasma field. The ions created within the field act as a natural scrubbing agent for the air passing through the field.

Cleaning Air Safely

The plasma field generated by Phenomenal Aire is encapsulated within an air handler’s duct work and there are no harmful byproducts.  There is no detectable ozone generated during the Phenomenal Aire process.

Applications:

Ion Device 1Ionic Device 2

The installation of a Series R CPG is easy, affordable, and essential to the production of healthy ions in your home.
Phenomenal Aire is designed to be installed in a home’s air handling unit.

·          Safe

·          Affordable

·          Easy Installation

·          Has no moving parts

·          Has no planned replacement schedule

·          Only requires simple periodic inspection & cleaning

YOUR CHILD’S  HEALTH

Studies have shown that 7 million children (1 in 10) under the age of 18 have Asthma.  Phenomenal Aire can help manage, minimize, or even eliminate contributing factors that trigger asthma attacks.

SEASONAL ALLERGIES

At least 35.9 million Americans have seasonal allergies. Phenomenal Aire can reduce or eliminate the triggers of allergies.

FAMILY PETS

An estimated 10% percent of the population may be allergic to animals.  Phenomenal Aire can reduce or eliminate the triggers of pet allergies: pet dander and allergens that collect in a pet’s fur like pollen, mold, and dust.

How Phenomenal Aire Works

Air Cleaning DiagramPhenomenal Aire creates a plasma field within a home’s HVAC system. As air flows through the field molecules are charged, creating ions. These positive and negative ions then naturally scrub the passing air. The ions then travel on into the living space, where they safely kill mold, viruses, and bacteria.

Example – A water molecule enters into the Plasma field as H2O. It leaves the field as two Hydrogen and one Oxygen (ions). The Oxygen is looking for an electron. As the Oxygen enters into the living space and lands on a virus, mold or bacteria, it pulls the electron (Hydrogen) from the virus, mold or bacteria, which kills it.

Once there is no more mold, virus or bacteria to kill, the Oxygen and Hydrogen ions become simple molecules again… like H2O.

Odors and VOCs enter the Plasma Field and are broken down into simple molecules like Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, H2O, Water Vapor & Oxygen.

Smart Home Control starts with your Thermostat

Nexia 824 Smart ThermostatYes, you read correctly. Your thermostat can be the first step into controlling your home as long as it is the Trane XL 824, the American Standard Gold 824 or similar thermostat. We know and have installed pretty smart thermostats for quite a while. These thermostats control you heat or AC in the house, can run on a schedule for day/night or away conditions. But these were not controllable from far away. The newest generation accomplishes that by integrating a smart home controller which itself is connected to the Internet. And through the Internet your smart phone or any tablet or PC is now able to communicate with the thermostat.

The system we are talking about, is the Nexia Home Automation System. It is built around a Internet connected controller and allows for communication with smart devices like thermostats. The system controller from Nexia is called the Nexia Bridge and connects to the Internet using the router and the Internet connection you already have. Internally the controller communicates with devices wirelessly using the Z-Wave protocol.

Schalge Smart LockNow, what makes the aforementioned thermostats so special? These thermostats already include the Nexia Bridge and therefore build the core of your home control system.

Here a list of devices and functions which can be controlled by the Nexia system:

  • Thermostats
  • Light bulbs, light switches, power strips and power outletsNexia Compatible Surveillance Camera
  • Door lock systems and garage door openers
  • Security equipment like surveillance camera, door bells, motion sensors, glass break sensors, water and water leak sensors
  • and many more devices and functions including washers, dryers, vacuum cleaners and I even found a mouse trap which notifies the owner of a catch. Only your imagination seems to be the limit.

So, how does all that work for the user?
The Nexia Bridge is the center point in your house and communicates with the smart devices. The Nexia Briddge is connected to a Nexia Server to provide and receive information and control orders. We, the users and home owners, have accounts on the Nexia server where we can log in using a PC, table or smart phone, and control everything connected at our house.

So in summary, when your thermostat, new installation or replacement, is a 824 from Trane or American Standard or any of their available siblings, you already have a smart home control and have completed the first steps towards complete control of your house, from anywhere where you have access to the Internet.

Ask our technical sales for more information the smart thermostats and home control devices, or check out the Smart Home Automation System on the Nexia website.
