Briza, Mold, and Your Child's Health
One of the biggest risks to a child’s health is the unseen and unresolved levels of mold hidden in air conditioning units. It can go undetected until its breached the boundaries of the vent and has started spreading throughout your walls. By then, it’s too late, and you have a serious mold problem. Yuck!
What is Mold?
Thriving on the last rung of the food chain, mold thrives on very little and grows rapidly. If you’ve ever forgotten a food container in the back of the fridge, you’ve seen first-hand just how quickly mold can grow.

Most families find out they have a mold problem only when it’s too late. The number one cause and circulator of mold is your air conditioner.
How Mold Can Harm Your Child
We know you would never want to purposefully expose your child to a dangerous substance.

What Can You Do?
Your best bet is to remove your air conditioning system and replace it with a stand-alone and portable unit like Briza.

Thanks to Briza’s lack of installation or venting, you can sleep easy knowing that you’re not running the risk of a mold breakout in your home.
