1
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: All right to where we go. We're thirty three minutes

2
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: after the top of the art. I got to ask

3
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: you a question. Now, in northern parts of the country,

4
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: it's gotten a little chillier. We've got our windows closed,

5
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: we got them locked, a lot of people maybe turning

6
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: their heat on now. And you know this summer and

7
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: even right now, when you go down into your basement,

8
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: which we're all using our basements more than probably ever before,

9
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: working from home, working out that type of thing, a

10
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: theater area, play area for the kids, can you smell

11
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: the difference when you go down the steps. That's what

12
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: I want to talk to Erica Laqui from she is

13
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: with easy breathe and Erica, how in the world are you.

14
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Gary, thanks for asking.

15
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what basements cross spaces. People got

16
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: to realize they need to be ventilated and tell everybody

17
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: why really, I mean, we got to get to the

18
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: bottom of this. I know people are becoming more educated

19
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: about this, and when they start smelling just every day

20
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: odors down in the basement and stuff that, I think

21
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: there's starting to wake up that something's got to be done.

22
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and one of the best analogies I can give is,

23
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: you know, we always talk about air behaves like water,

24
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: and a really great analogy to kind of help people

25
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: understand is when you see a stagnant body of water

26
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: like a pond, you see lots of right microbial growth

27
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: on the shore and maybe some scum on the top

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: of the pond, and lots of plant life, and you know,

29
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: organisms living in that stagnant environment. Air is the same way.

30
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 2: When air is stagnant, you will see lots of microbial growth, fungus, bacteria, molds, mildews.

31
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: Things hang out and stagnate and build up to very dangerous,

32
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: unhealthy concentration levels. So there's a higher concentration of all

33
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: of that mucky gunky you know, indoor air quality particles,

34
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: you know, the bad stuff in the air. And then

35
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: you look at a moving body of water like a

36
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: stream or a river, and oftentimes you can see right through.

37
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: To the river rocks.

38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: Nothing grows on the bank. It's moving, it's clearer, it's cleaner,

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: it doesn't allow things to stagnate and grow. And air

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: is the same way. If we can keep the air moving,

41
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: you can keep all of those nasty things at day.

42
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: No mildews no molds. We're creating air exchanges, and we're

43
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: removing that damp, stagnant, oftentimes sticky humid. You know, it's thick,

44
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: got an odor, it smells musty. We remove that bad

45
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: air to the outside, making space for cleaner, dryer air

46
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: to cascade down into that space, replenishing it and again

47
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: keeping things moving so nothing can grow.

48
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Right, right, And really, when you think about the air

49
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: in the basement, it's kind of like the dead zone.

50
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: It's down there, yes exactly, it's heavy, and it's just

51
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: sitting there. And then we turn our furnaces on or

52
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: our air handlers, and I mean, is it safe to

53
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: say it starts moving it throughout the house.

54
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Then well, certainly there's intakes in that lower level, right,

55
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: So when those things turn on and we and we

56
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: get those calls all the time, very seasonally this time

57
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: of year. Why do I smell my basement in my

58
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: second floor? I can smell my basement in the kitchen.

59
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: And a lot of it has to do with not

60
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: only the air migrating upwards from the stack effect, which

61
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: we all know heat rises, so that brings all that ikey,

62
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: stagnant air up through the home, but also it can

63
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: be distributed throughout the home with the air handler once

64
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: you turn the heat on, so lots of different ways

65
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: that air in the basement does not stay in the basement.

66
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the biggest you know, people

67
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: don't understand that, Oh, it's the basement. I don't need

68
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 2: to worry about that. No, basement is possibly the largest

69
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: contributor to bad indoor air quality that the home has

70
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 2: to worry about. You don't to worry about the garage.

71
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: We were at the attic. The basement is probably the

72
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: largest contributor to pour indoor air quality because of that

73
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: natural tendency for heat to rise and draw all that

74
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, sure, allergens and bacterias and mold sports. You know,

75
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: people know that instinctively when they open the basement door.

76
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes it hits you right in the face or halfway

77
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: down the steps you start to smell that odor.

78
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: So the secret, folks as homeowners is we have to

79
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: remove that air in the basement. An easy breathe isn't

80
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: a filtering system. Turning a fan on isn't going to

81
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: take care of your problem. You've got to remove the problem.

82
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: That's the whole key. That's the ventilation part right Erica.

83
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: That's right, well said Gary, Because people have questions about

84
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: you know, dehumidifier or an air purifier or some sort

85
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: of scrubber and UV lights, and we're big fans of

86
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: anything that's going to help improve indoor air quality, don't

87
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 2: get me wrong, but a lot of those things cost

88
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: a lot of money to maintain. Filters, buckets, you know,

89
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: replacing lights, and it really just recirculates that same air.

90
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: It may be trying to change the molecular structure of

91
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: the air from you know, airborne vapor to liquid water.

92
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: It's just a lot of movement for very little result.

93
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: And the simple solution that we're big proponents of is

94
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: simply ventilating the space. We can have a much bigger

95
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,559
Speaker 2: impact on the indoor air quality at a at much

96
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: smaller effort and expense by just creating air exchanges and

97
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: you just get rid of that air. We're not going

98
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: to treat it and recycle it and you know, keep

99
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: filtering it and worrying about is the filter you know,

100
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: how often does it change it? It's just this is

101
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: a setate forget it. Ventilate the space. It creates significantly

102
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: improvement in the indoor air qualty. We reduce indoor air

103
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: particulates up to eighty five percent. So really, and you

104
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: just think about that pond and all the scum. Is

105
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: why people put fountains in the pond. Why don't you

106
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: start moving the air or moving the water. Just like air,

107
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: things change, That's right, exactly.

108
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I know the EPA says six out of

109
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: every ten homes and buildings are sick, meaning they are

110
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: hazards to your health to occupy, just because of the

111
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: airborne pollutants. And you've got a letter from a customer

112
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: that installed an easy breathe, which you shared with me

113
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and you and I can,

114
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, talk about all the facts and everything. I

115
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: think this lady's experience was exactly what you're preaching. There

116
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: was an amazing turnaround in her home and in her

117
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: son's health.

118
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, wasn't that just every day we go

119
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: to work, and you know, this is what keeps us

120
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: going is people like that that you know, basically tell

121
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: us how much their indoor air quality has changed. And

122
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: you know, specifically when the children's playroom is now you

123
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: know they're not coughing anymore. Within twenty four hours, her

124
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: little boy is no longer coughing down in the basement.

125
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: And to me, that is why we get up and

126
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: go to work, as we really do make a significant

127
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: improvement in people's lifestyles and their health and their health

128
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: of their home, protecting their home from you know, the

129
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: dangerous chemicals, rough pollutant standards, allergens, you know, all those

130
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: nasty things that live in the basement. So they're just gone,

131
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: which is you know, we love that. I mean, that's

132
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: what drives me.

133
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a that was a great letter. And

134
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: I had told you it was probably a couple of

135
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: years ago now that I have an easy breathe in

136
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: my home and I had unplugged it because you start

137
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: taking it for granted. It just you know, I mean,

138
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: the air in my home is smells well, there's no problem.

139
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: And what you know is this easy breed. I unplugged

140
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: it within twenty four hours. You don't tell the difference.

141
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: It was amazing, And that is exactly what this woman says.

142
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: She said, it's actually amazing. I guess when you live

143
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: in a home for ten years, you become used to things.

144
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: We didn't realize how bad the air was until we

145
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: installed our easy breathe We've noted one hundred percent difference.

146
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: And my favorite part is our son has asthma and

147
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: he has stopped coughing in a finished basement, which is.

148
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Just great story.

149
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: You know that, That's why we do it. That's why

150
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: we do this.

151
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: Sure, I know a number of states and you and

152
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: I have chatted about this over the last fifteen years

153
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: or so. Is you know, as this is going to

154
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: become part of code, and you know, nobody likes the

155
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: government telling us what to do, and they're not telling

156
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: us what to do just yet, but codes are in

157
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: quite a few states where ventilation is being required because

158
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: a lot of this poor ventilation in homes is tracked

159
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: to illnesses.

160
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, it's becoming code. The northern states are driving this,

161
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: specifically Pacific Northwest. I know Oregon. We're reading a lot

162
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: of interest from there. If you're a contractor putting an

163
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: addition on a home, or refinishing a basement, or even

164
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: just working on a bathroom remodel, if the home does

165
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: not have mechanical ventilation in the foundation, whether it be

166
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: a cross space or a basement, as the contractor getting

167
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 2: you know, a permit to do the bathroom or model,

168
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: you have to also to create the foundation and bring

169
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: it up to code with some sort of mechanical ventilation

170
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 2: in the foundation. So you know, we've known this now,

171
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: Gary for what twenty five years we're talking about that,

172
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: so we're real we're big fans of that. Not that.

173
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: Like you said, these contractors working on a bathroom remodel,

174
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: like what's going on? And we get calls from them

175
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: all the time and we explain, you know, this is

176
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: really critical to any especially when you're remodeling. Now you're

177
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: introducing more glues Epoxy's residence podcasting and it's just going

178
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 2: to help you know what their job as well. So

179
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: you know, there's a big upside. It's just you know,

180
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: educating folks as to the why, and it doesn't take

181
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: a whole lot of you know, conversation before everyone you know,

182
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,400

Speaker 1: Well. Our friend Erica from Easy Breathe is back with

232
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: us in Erica. One thing people got to remember, I

233
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: think is moisture has a lot to play with these pollutants. Also,

234
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: and I know you're having a sale and you're kind

235
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: of addressing the moisture issue with a giveaway. Can you

236
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: tell us what the sale is.

237
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,520

Speaker 2: DIY put yourself install kits. They'd be very very popular,

239
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: So two hundred of the dollars off those and any

240
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: Easy Breathe that is purchased throughout the month. We're also

241
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: including a humidistat giveaway, so two humidistats as well as

242
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: a humidity guide for homeowners that sort of explains how

243
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: humidity works in the home, balancing the home. You can

244
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: set those two humidistats in different areas of the home

245
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: while the easy Breath is running, and you can start

246
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: to understand how the air moves through the house and

247
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: how the air in one room will dictate. So it

248
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: just sort of helps people understand when they're running their

249
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: easy breed how it works, and right you can see

250
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: the actual improvement in real numbers. So it's people are

251
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: loving them. And we started this a couple of months ago,

252
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: so we're extending that. Last month was Indoor air Quality

253
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: Awareness Month and it was very popular, so we're moving

254
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: that into November. We think, you know, this is the

255
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: time to really take a hard look at your air quality.

256
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: We're buttoning up for the winter. We're going to be

257
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: breathing a lot of indoor air, more so than in

258
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: the past month. So we really want to make this

259
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: more affordable for folks.

260
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: And you're right, I mean those humidity guys that you

261
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: can see where it is in the basement. And by

262
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: the way, with folks in the wintertime, you want to

263
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: be about forty percent ideally in the wintertime. In the

264
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: summertime maybe fifty percent or below ideally, and you'll be

265
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: able to especially in the summer too, you'll be able

266
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: to see your basement might be run sixty five percent

267
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: and you might be forty eight percent upstairs. And you

268
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: know it's that that's a great giveaway product. And in fact,

269
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: the lady that wrote you to that wonderful letter her

270
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: husband and installed the easy Breed too, right, And yeah,

271
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: maybe a little tough drill in the hole, but he

272
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: had it done pretty quickly if I remember correctly. That's right.

273
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: Lots of you know, handy homeowners that we help, and

274
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: you know, we have a help desk. We can answer

275
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: any questions. But you know, the hardest part of the install,

276
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: I tell folks is the six inch penetration. If you

277
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: can drill that through, you know, right above the foundation

278
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: wall typically to the you know, siding, then then this

279
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: is an easy ps install very similar to a dryer vent. Gary.

280
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: You know, folks say, oh what I mean, I've put

281
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: a hole in my house. Well, it's no different than

282
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: the penetration. The dryer evacuates the hot air through that vent.

283
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: Easy Breed has a very similar vent that just evacuates

284
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: all that nasty air out of the basement of the

285
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: crawl space through a six inch hole, just like the

286
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: clothes dryer does.

287
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: So how do they order one? They can talk to

288
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: It's neat that you have a help center because they

289
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: can help educate the caller. Also correct I mean is

290
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: should they call you to order one? Can they get

291
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: online and order one? Can they do both? How do

292
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: they do that?

293
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: The best way is to call us and have a

294
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: conversation with one of our customer care reps that can

295
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: really to discuss with you the specific needs of your home.

296
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: We have multiple products we match with the specifics of

297
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: your home. We offer a custom quote over the phone.

298
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: You can get online and learn more about it, but

299
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: you just can't click and purchase it. It does require

300
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: a conversation. We want to make sure we're matching the

301
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: right product to the specifics of your home.

302
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: Right right, there was something I wanted to ask and

303
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: I forget what it was. Now, Oh the maintenance, Yeah,

304
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: I like to laugh. You're right. The maintenance of it

305
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: is basically nothing to the easy breathe.

306
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: Well, that is one of everyone's favorite favorite things about

307
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: easy breaths. We say, they set it and forget it.

308
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: And like you were talking about the humidity, right, so

309
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: we set the humidity dial to winter summer mode or

310
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: if you want constant ventilation, that's an option too. It's

311
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: very customizable. That's the other bonus about easy breathe. And

312
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: so you set it to that humidity level. The unit

313
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 2: will operate until that humidity level is reached, and then

314
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 2: once it's reached, the unit cycles off. Because that's one

315
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: of the big questions, it's going to exhaust all my

316
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 2: heat in the winter, all my heat's going to said no, no, no,

317
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: we're going to set it at forty percent, and as

318
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: soon as that forty or forty five whatever is comfortable.

319
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: When that humidity levels reached, the unit will cycle off.

320
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: The dampers will closed, and it will sit at rest

321
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: until that humidity level because inevitably.

322
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 5: It will rise.

323
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: That's the nature of these underground spaces, that's right. And

324
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: it'll start ventilating and again cycle on and off as

325
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: needed based on how the homeowner sets it. So that's

326
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: you know, can rest, put everybody's fears at rest. This

327
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: will not exhaust your heat. It won't exhaust your air

328
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: conditioning in the summer. It will only operate when that

329
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: damp you know, dirty air is present in those lower

330
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: you know, we say eighteen to twenty four inches off

331
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: the floor, so we really are we're exacuating the worst, dampest,

332
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: dirtiest air first, and then throughout that we'll do complete

333
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: home air exchanges over the course of a few days,

334
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 2: you know, like our call or our letter said, you know,

335
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: within three days they noticed one hundred percent improvement in

336
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: the basement. Sure it doesn't take long.

337
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: Sure, Now, I'm sure there's people listening going well, I'm

338
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: not installing that myself, and I'm sure you have a

339
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: network of installers that can help them out when they're

340
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: chatting with your representatives.

341
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, self install is one option, and we have

342
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: a network of professional installers throughout the country. We can

343
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 2: you know, put you together and they can you know,

344
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: take take care of everything from beginning to end.

345
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: Sure are there different size I mean there's different size

346
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: homes or it's a very slow ventilation, so I didn't

347
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: know if there's a size or different sizes. One.

348
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. One easy breathe. We'll service

349
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 2: up to seven thousand square feet. It's just a matter

350
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: of how quickly the air moves through. So it may

351
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: take a little bit longer on a larger structure, and

352
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: we may want to run the fan at a little

353
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: slower rate if it's a smaller structure. So again, one

354
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: unit can service multiple you know size structures. Where we

355
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: get into the multiple products is is this a crawl space?

356
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: Is this a basement? Is it a crawl space connected

357
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 2: to a basement. Is it a crawl space that's not connected.

358
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: There's a crawl space over here, basement over there. You know.

359
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: The architectural layout of the of the foundation is where

360
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: we get a little specific, because we do have various

361
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: models to service the various combinations of foundations.

362
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, because uh, I think I'm getting more questions now

363
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: about ventilation and cross and I know we're talking about

364
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: encapsulation and crawl spaces or people are talking about that

365
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: and they're starting to ask questions about should I ventilate that?

366
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: And you've got a product to help them with that. Also,

367
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,800
