Three Utah families with rare diseases are benefiting from a new technology that will allow them to live in relative comfort by cooling and heating their homes in addition to improving air quality.

The new systems came courtesy of Powerzoning, which utilizes technology to heat and cool homes by circulating air from cold basements and hot bedrooms evenly throughout a house. Nominations of families came through the nonprofit group Angel's Hands Foundation.

"With the help of the public and Angel's Hands Foundation, we chose families who have an illness or disability that makes temperature extremes difficult for them to bear," said Powerzoning CEO Rex Halbeisen.

Angel's Hands Foundation assists families with over 40 rare ailments, many of which affect children who are extremely sensitive to heat or cold.

The group works to get them climate-control products to improve their everyday lives. For more information visit www.angelshands.org.
