A survey by American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning might help contractors sell more indoor air quality products with their “Bust Bunny Barometer” survey.
The "Dust Bunny Barometer" survey was conducted in 20 major markets and found that about 75% of homeowners admitted their houses had unwanted piles of dust, pet hair and other particles “Dust bunnies”.
The Dust Bunny Barometer found that 82% of Pittsburgh and Seattle residents battle dust bunnies in their homes, the most of the cities surveyed. Sacramento reported the fewest dust bunnies but still claimed a significant presence with 69% of residents admitting to having them in their homes.

The survey further reveals that while dust bunnies live in most homes, only a small number of households are taking significant preventative action against poor indoor air quality, which can be aggravated by dust, particulates and allergens. The findings revealed 75% of respondents expressed concern about the air quality inside their homes – but only 11% feel they have their dust bunny population under control.
The Dust Bunny Barometer tells us that homeowners know they have dust bunnies and they’re concerned about the air in their homes, and that Families want solutions to get rid of dust bunnies once and for all so that they can breathe easier in their own homes.
