What is Indoor Air Quality?
Indoor air quality is a measurement of the quality of the air in your home. Poor indoor air quality can affect your health and comfort. It can also aggravate asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems. Controlling pollutants in your home’s air can lower the risk of health concerns and help your family breathe easier. The most common pollutants that affect indoor air quality are:
- Cigarette smoke.
- Mold & mildew.
- Fires.
- Chemicals.
- Paint & paint thinner.
- Household cleaners.
- Pet hair & dander.
- Dirt & dust.
- Fuel-burning combustion appliances.
- New construction or building materials.
- Central heating & cooling systems.
- Humidifiers.
- Excess moisture.
- Outdoor air pollution.
These pollutants can enter your home through cracks and holes, through your HVAC system, or through doors, windows, and door and window screens. Immediate effects of exposure to poor indoor air quality include eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, migraines, dizziness, and fatigue. Long-term effects include respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer.

If your area experiences high winds and heavy storms and/or has poor outdoor air quality, you should schedule seasonal air duct cleaning. Here are some signs you need air duct cleaning:

Our Methods for Improving Indoor Air Quality
We use proven strategies to identify poor indoor air quality and then find the most effective solutions:
- Indoor air quality assessments – This includes a visual assessment of your windows, doors, attic, basement, HVAC system, AC and furnace, air ducts, and vents. We also take humidity readings at key areas of your home. We look for anything that could negatively affect your indoor air quality. We also collect air and surface samples to check for mold, allergens, and contaminants. The entire test might take 1-2 hours. The results will help us tailor our indoor air quality improvement methods to your specific scenario.
- Installing an air purifier – We can install a whole-home air purifier. Air purifiers remove most pollutants, but not all of them.
- Installing a HEPA filter – HEPA filters can remove over 99% of harmful particles from your air. Combining a HEPA filter and air purifier gives you the best chance of improving your air quality. An air filter removes VOCs, mold spores, smoke, excess carbon dioxide, and allergens like dust and pet dander. It can even remove flu virus particles.
- Air duct cleaning & deodorization – We offer thorough air duct and vent cleaning to remove harmful contaminants and particulates. We can also neutralize foul odors in air ducts and vents with our powerful, non-toxic air duct deodorization.
- Pet odor neutralization – We also offer pet odor neutralization. We can reduce, eliminate, and prevent pet smells inside your home, including in furniture, carpeting, rugs, drapes, and other textiles.
Benefits of a Professional Indoor Air Quality Assessment
An indoor air quality assessment gives you a starting point for determining how to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
