Common signs of poor indoor air quality include persistent allergies, frequent headaches, and respiratory issues. You might also notice mystery odors, excessive dust, and uneven heating or cooling. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to schedule an indoor air quality test.

We recommend having your indoor air quality tested at least once a year, especially if you have pets, allergies, or a respiratory condition. Regular testing helps identify pollutants and allergens, ensuring your HVAC system is functioning correctly and your air is safe to breathe.

An energy audit involves a comprehensive assessment of your home’s energy use and identifying areas where energy is being wasted. By sealing leaks and improving insulation, an energy audit can reduce the entry of outdoor pollutants, thus enhancing your indoor air quality and improving overall energy efficiency.

Ductwork plays a crucial role in circulating air throughout your home. Damaged or dirty ducts can harbor dust, mold, and other allergens, which can significantly degrade your indoor air quality. Regular ductwork inspection and cleaning are essential to ensure clean and efficient airflow.

Air sealing helps to prevent drafts and air leaks, which can bring in outdoor pollutants and allergens. By sealing gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and other openings, you can significantly improve your home’s indoor air quality and increase your HVAC system’s efficiency.

Indoor air quality testing can detect a variety of pollutants, including mold spores, dust mites, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and pet dander. Identifying these pollutants is the first step in addressing any air quality issues in your home.

To reduce allergens, regularly clean and vacuum your home, use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in your HVAC system, and control humidity levels. Additionally, consider having your air ducts cleaned and inspected for any leaks or build-ups that could harbor allergens.

Even if your ductwork isn’t visibly damaged, old ductwork may not be as efficient as newer systems. Replacing old ductwork can improve airflow and ensure that your HVAC system is distributing clean air efficiently throughout your home, enhancing overall air quality.

Maintaining proper humidity levels is vital for good indoor air quality. High humidity can promote mold growth, while low humidity can cause dryness and respiratory discomfort. Using humidifiers or dehumidifiers can help maintain optimal humidity levels.
