New Construction Home Eliminates Virus Contamination

Local Builder Adapts to Changing Environment Among Co-Vid Concerns

May 18, 2020, Darien, CT - Prior to the onset of Covid-19, local builder Joe Pagliarulo wouldn’t have listed a highly efficient air purification system as one of the biggest perks in a newly constructed home. Historically, luxury kitchens and baths, great rooms, square footage, outdoor space and privacy, in addition to quality workmanship, would top the list of desirables for new homebuyers. And while his newly constructed home at 8 South Trail in Darien meets all of the criteria for the most discerning buyer, Pagliarulo recently felt compelled to install the Guardian QR+ home air purification system.

The Guardian QR+, made by RFG Environmental Group, is a cutting edge oxidized air purification system that kills airborne and surface bacteria on contact, effective against viruses & flu. It sends ionized aggressive advanced oxidizers into rooms to destroy pollutants at the source in the air and on surfaces. “We saw the added value for this higher comfort level for today’s buyer, particularly those leaving New York City,” said Pagliarullo.

With news sources reporting the increasing influx of buyers from New York City, one would conclude that a healthier environment might be sitting pretty high on buyers' lists. According to The New York Times article, Coronavirus Escape: To the Suburbs, the pandemic has convinced some New Yorkers that it’s time to finally give up on city living. And according to CT Insider, New Yorkers are flocking to Fairfield Connecticut: 'A tidal wave': New Yorkers snapping up CT homes as they flee the city.
