Our Indoor Air Quality Testing Will Get to the Bottom of Things

Some of us may have paid little attention to whether the air inside the space where we live is clean and safe to breathe. Then along came the COVID-19 pandemic to provide a real wake-up call.

While you probably know us best for our heating and cooling acrobatic skills, we also have the right maneuvers when it comes to clearing the air. At Comfort Squad, we’re committed to making sure your indoor spaces are as free of dust, dirt, allergens, viruses and bacteria as possible. The first leg of that journey begins with thorough air quality testing by our experienced technicians.

Your Air Space Could be Making You Sick

Here’s some information from the Environmental Protection Agency that still blows us away: Your indoor air can be two to fives times more polluted than outdoor air.

You’re probably not aware of all of the pollutants that could be lurking inside. Here are just some of them:

Biological pollutants: pollen, dust mites, bacteria, viruses, toxins, mold and dander
Chemical pollutants: volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde
Combustion pollutants: carbon monoxide and tobacco smoke

They can cause a host of allergic conditions and problems, including allergic rhinitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, some types of asthma, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, watery eyes, dizziness and shortness of breath.

VOCs Can Create Hidden Dangers

Homes are filled with products that can release VOCs when in use—and even when in storage. Those products include: paints, cleaners, wood preservatives, disinfectants, stored fuel and dry-cleaned clothes. Other items that can contain VOCs are wood and other building materials, furniture and craft materials.

According to the National Institutes of Health, long-term exposure to VOCs can cause damage to your kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Short-term exposure can cause fatigue, headaches, dizziness, skin reactions, nausea, memory issues, lack of coordination and irritation to your eyes and respiratory system.

Trust the Test Pilots With Years of Experience

How do you know if you need to evict invaders like these in your space? Although you can purchase a kit, collect samples and send them to a testing lab, we highly recommend that you don’t. Here’s why: When samples are not properly collected, the results can be skewed. At Comfort Squad, our high-flying IAQ techs perform sampling using accepted standards that ensure the sample is representative of typical conditions. As a result, you can feel confident our indoor air quality testing results are accurate.

We have years of experience at the controls when it comes to IAQ. Our trained pilots will evaluate your indoor space and recommend reliable, affordable options such as whole-house air filtration, dehumidification, duct cleaning, air cleaning and ventilation improvements.
