Indoor Air Quality Testing

Indoor Air Quality Testing in Phoenix, AZ

Breathe Cleaner. Live Healthier. Know What’s in Your Air.

Phoenix homeowners face some of the toughest indoor air quality conditions in the country. Desert dust, pollen, vehicle emissions, construction debris, pet dander, and everyday household pollutants all make their way into your home. Because we run air conditioning most of the year, homes stay sealed — trapping these particles inside and continuously circulating them through your HVAC system.

Indoor air can often be 2–5 times more polluted than outdoor air, and most people don’t realize there’s a problem until symptoms appear.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Poor indoor air quality has been linked to:

• Allergies and asthma flare-ups
• Chronic coughing, sneezing, and congestion
• Headaches, fatigue, and brain fog
• Irritated eyes, skin, and throat
• Long-term respiratory issues

Children, seniors, and anyone with asthma or allergies are especially vulnerable.

What We Test For:

Airborne Particle Sizes (Measured in Microns)

Not all particles affect the body the same way. The smaller the particle, the deeper it can travel into your lungs.

We professionally test for:

• 0.3 μm – Ultrafine particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream
• 0.5 μm – Smoke, combustion byproducts, bacteria
• 1.0 μm – Fine dust, allergens, mold spores
• 2.5 μm (PM2.5) – Vehicle emissions, wildfire smoke, industrial pollution
• 5.0 μm – Mold spores, pollen fragments
• 10.0 μm (PM10) – Desert dust, sand, large pollen

These particles are commonly found in Phoenix homes and can significantly impact respiratory health.

Chemical Pollutants We Test For:

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

VOCs are gases released from everyday household items such as:

• Cleaning products
• Paints and finishes
• Furniture and cabinetry
• Air fresheners and candles
• Plastics and synthetic materials

High VOC levels can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, respiratory irritation, and long-term health concerns with prolonged exposure.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a specific and especially concerning VOC commonly found in:

• New construction and remodels
• Cabinets and pressed-wood products
• Flooring, adhesives, and insulation

Even low levels can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation and worsen asthma symptoms.

Environmental Conditions We Measure

Air quality isn’t just about particles — it’s also about comfort and moisture balance.

We test:

• Air Temperature
• Humidity Levels
• Dew Point (comfort & moisture risk)
• Wet Bulb Temperature (true heat stress indicator)

Improper humidity can encourage mold growth, dust mites, and poor system performance.

What Happens After the Test?

Once testing is complete, we:

• Explain your results in plain English
• Identify any problem areas
• If needed, recommend solutions such as filtration upgrades, air purification, humidity control, or duct improvements
• Help you prioritize fixes based on health, comfort, and budget

Is Indoor Air Quality Testing Worth It?

If you live in Phoenix, the answer is yes. You can’t fix what you can’t see — and clean air starts with accurate testing.
