Company Touts Replacement Windows For Ozone Watch In Houston

Insulating the home with quality replacement windows can help Houston locals keep cool in the middle of an ozone watch, believes All-Tex Home Improvement Services.

Houston, TX (prHWY.com) May 29, 2012 - All-Tex Home Improvement Services - Insulating the home with quality replacement windows can help Houston locals beat the harmful effects of ozone, revealed a local company this week.

"Everyone is advised to set their air conditioning units to the highest possible setting and conserve electricity, but how exactly can homeowners exactly follow this tall order? Through energy-efficient windows," suggested the company.

The statement by All-Tex Home Improvement Services immediately follows a media advisory that an ozone watch will take effect from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. today.

Measuring Air Quality

According to the Department of Human and Health Services, ozone watches are often issued when air quality would compromise the health of individuals.

The department refers to a five-part Air Quality Index to assess the danger levels of ozone. The index records the raw concentrations of the gas and uses the following color codes to guide residents whether safety levels have been met.

* Green denotes that concentrations are safe and would not pose any health risks.
* Yellow indicates moderate concentrations and discourages prolonged outdoor exposure.
* Orange signifies that air quality is unhealthy for sensitive individuals.
* Red means that the air is generally unhealthy for everyone.
* Purple warns that air quality is very unhealthy.

Initial findings by the Texas Energy Commission on Environmental Quality indicate that Houston is presently on yellow alert.

Ozone at concentrations of at least 75 parts per billion could already trigger allergy attacks among asthma sufferers and sensitive individuals, the commission said. Other harmful effects include impaired respiratory function and chronic lung disease.

As such, media outlets are advising locals to refrain from engaging in outdoor activities that would increase exposure to the pollutants.

How Insulated Glass Units Help

For All-Tex Home Improvement Services, replacing standard windows with insulated glass units is key to ensuring comfort and safety levels among Texas residents.

Double-pane replacement windows Houston manufacturers coat with low-e film not only keep ozone and other air pollutants out of the house but also regulate heat transfer, the company said.

"Since the replacement units aid with insulation and solar heat gain regulation, homeowners might not have to max out their air conditioners in the middle of an ozone watch," added the exterior home improvement contractor.

"It's really like hitting three birds with one stone. People can breathe clean air, keep cool, and conserve energy."

The company presently installs Southern Legacy elite windows from award-winning manufacturer Simonton. Quotes for replacement units are available for free.
