Facts about the Quality of Air in your home.
The air in homes are contained so ventilation is needed to circulate it. However, the pollutants still exist, as the circulations and filters are not efficient enough and your garden where the air exchanges happen is polluted. When you see or taste it, it worsens your health. Especially, with our past experiences are with the Covid-19 pandemic.
On the market, there are a few companies solving this issue. However, they are in charge either testing or monitoring, but do not actually clean it up. Most of the companies that provide our air conditioner (HVAC) services do not go through the cleaning process. That was my perception in 2010 and still is now. The diagnosis device is now available, but the test samples of bacteria, mold or virus still need to be sent to the laboratory to process.
Signs of indoor air quality problems
- Unusual and noticeable odors.
- Stale or stuffy air.
- Noticeable lack of air movement.
- Dirty or faulty central heating or air conditioning equipment.
- Presence of molds and mildew.
- Feeling noticeably healthier outside.
Common Sources of Air Quality Problems
- Moisture and biological pollutants- traces from Covid-19.
- Combustion products.
- Formaldehyde (HCHO) from durable press draperies and other textiles.
- Radon- a radioactive gas from soil and rock beneath and around the home’s foundation, groundwater wells and some building materials.
- Asbestos found in most homes more than 20 years old.
Monitoring devices
In beginning, we need to take a test sample(s) and send them to laboratory to interpret your home air quality status. After that, we can monitor these parameters with electronic devices. Because there are sensors to collect and procedures to make the diagnosis, the current technology trends still are limited for certain parameters on the market. So, do watch for the parameters you want to monitor and to spend. Honeywell has made 1 model-HAQ for all these features, but it is so much in demand. At least, we have this technology so just wait for time to come.

The outdoor also affects the indoor Air or can tell something about
- The EPA Agency maintains these monitoring with accuracy and everywhere, not surprise as the GPS can help us for the location address. An app is available for free, named AirNow.
- AirNow– Accurate, local, free of charge!
- The EPA’s free AirNow app is easily searchable, delivers air quality readings in every corner of the US, and lets you know in advance of upcoming air quality problems.
Closing thoughts
- The service company will pick up the lab tests of your Home Air Quality. The technology is now available, and you are now more educated to accept their recommendations. After that, you can monitor these indicators at real time on your own.
- I encourage you to visit this service company which I once got a chance to discuss with its agent for a proposal to upgrade my HVAC in 2015 when we just bought a new house. It’s very pricey- just use for reference now. (https://happyhiller.com/hvac/indoor-air-quality)
Methodology to use our trade show- a demo for some of these products.
Normal Air Parameters- measure for each space location. Only need 1 set of devices [2] and take turn to measure for each room.
- A set of device(s) [2] to measure parameters that are ready for: Temperature, Humidity, CO2, CO, particle PM2.5, PM10, Formaldehyde (HCOCH), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
- Bacteria, Fungus, or Virus: No device is available. Take a test sample(s) and send to the laboratory. If bacteria, fungus, or virus is traceable, then a special treatment is handled by a contractor.
- if the air in house is really dusty, you first need a duct cleaning first by a contractor.
- After that, buy an Air Purifier Machine to filter the air, as an add on to your current Central Air Conditioner.
- Measure Air Quality again and then just have this machine run at maintenance, and take turn for each room.
Like your routine vacuum, turn on this Air Purifier Machine each 2 weeks, and have a deep clean service each 3 years.
In Summary- there are two groups of devices that we need: the monitoring device [2] and the air purifier machine [1]. On the market, there are many manufactures making each group of devices, and the prices are dependent on the parameters that devices are limited to.
