NEW YORK - The May 7 episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition once again placed the HVAC system front and center. This time Trane's CleanEffects air filtration system, part of a complete Trane HVAC system donation, was installed as part of a home makeover for the Peter family in Queens.
After a devastating fire, this family of nine was left penniless and without a home. They lived in a hotel for six months but were forced to move back into their burned-out house. Compounding the problem still further was the fact that six-year-old Ashley Peter suffers from asthma. The air in the fire-damaged house made it difficult in her to breathe.
