We are the creator, developer, and manufacturer of a system of products to provide a long-term approach to mitigating moisture and heat in crawl spaces and attics.
To put it more simply – ATMOX uses the common sense approach of good air in and bad air out for a healthy home. Fully installed, ATMOX keeps away the worry of moisture leading to mold growth, wood rot, and unwanted pests.
Every ATMOX product is designed to solve a problem and improve the home. Our products are the tools for the professional installer to use in creating the healthy homes we all want in life.

How We Got Our Name
ATMOX was derived from the word atmosphere. Evaluating the atmospheric conditions in the crawl space and attic is what the ATMOX controllers are constantly doing. Through the use of temperature and humidity sensors both inside and outside, each controller is monitoring the atmospheres and determining operation. The best atmosphere starts with ATMOX.

Our History
In the mid-1990s, Thomas Huber discovered a widespread problem in the Carolinas – high humidity in crawlspaces – with no solution. It all started when his neighbor’s house in Gastonia, North Carolina had a $30,000 repair to its structure due to wood rot and termites caused by high humidity levels in the crawlspace. In talking to the contractor and termite inspector, he realized that his house would be next unless he did something about his own crawlspace.
Thomas Huber had a background in mechanical engineering from the prestigious ETH University in Zurich, Switzerland. The threat of a $30,000 repair prompted the action of two engineers (Thomas and his father) to create a solution to avoid the damage. Over the years, the system has been optimized several times yet still works on the same basic principle: use the best operation based on conditions to improve your home’s most critical spaces — attics and crawl spaces.
