A Whole-House Healthy Air System
Modern construction is more energy efficient, but that comes at the expense of indoor air quality because pollutants get trapped inside tighter walls. That's why it's so important to refresh your air! Few people do, though—it's a great idea to invest in a system that does it for you! Overture™ from Broan-NuTone monitors air quality parameters—particulates, VOCs, humidity, and CO2—and operates your fresh air system, range hood, and ventilation fans as needed to clear out pollution and bring in fresh filtered air. It also keeps you aware of your conditions through an app and lights on the components. Overture™ takes the guesswork out of maintaining a healthy interior and was named the Best Indoor Product at the International Builders Show this year!
