Simply put, yes. Indoor air quality is very important. Testing the air in your home, office, or commercial building will let you know if the air you’re breathing is contaminated and at what level.
Aire Serv’s professional indoor air quality testing is vital to maintaining a healthy environment for you and those around you. While some don’t realize how indoor air can affect their health, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports concentrations of pollutants may be two to five times higher inside homes and commercial buildings than outdoors. Indoor air pollutants include pet dander, mold, dust, dust mites, carbon monoxide, and a host of other particulates and gasses. Your HVAC system works to not only heat and cool your space but also to maintain healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) by filtering out pollutants.
How Do We Test Your Indoor Air Quality?
Indoor air quality improvement starts with our professional indoor air quality testing and can be maintained with our regular indoor air quality monitoring. At Aire Serv®, we begin our indoor air quality testing services by discussing any specific concerns you may have. Then, a visual inspection lets us identify potential sources of air quality concerns, such as mold growth, water damage, or poor ventilation.
Next, we use specialized professional air quality testing and monitoring equipment to collect and analyze air samples from different areas of your home. We look for any traces of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold, and particulates. We also measure carbon monoxide levels and test for other gasses. Then, we evaluate temperature and humidity levels as each impacts IAQ.
What Do the Indoor Air Quality Test Results Mean?
When Aire Serv conducts professional indoor air quality testing for you, we’ll analyze the results of our professional IAQ testing and provide a report detailing the results of our testing.
Our professional indoor air quality testing results will show which pollutants were found in the air of your home or office and at what levels. We’ll provide you with a clear understanding of your indoor air quality.
If we determine there are unhealthy levels of contaminants present, we’ll devise a tailored plan to improve your IAQ. Based on your air quality test results, Aire Serv Service Professionals may recommend repeating the testing and monitoring of your indoor air quality periodically to ensure the levels of contaminant remain within a safe range.
The information revealed from our professional indoor air quality testing will determine the steps we take toward IAQ remediation — removing pollutants from your indoor air. IAQ remediation includes anything from installing or changing air filters to air duct cleaning, regulating humidity levels, and installing air purifiers or cleaners. After cleaning or installing air-improvement technologies, your local Aire Serv professional may return to repeat the indoor air quality testing services to ensure our methods achieve the desired results.
