Our indoor air quality assessments consist of air quality testing with state-of-the-art equipment that tests for 9 critical air quality factors, including VOCs, particulate matter, CO2, humidity, temperature, etc.

From there, our team will work with you to develop effective mitigation strategies to improve your indoor air quality and create a healthier living environment for you and your family.

If you choose to purchase any of our high-quality IAQ products with installation through Service First Heating and Cooling, we will discount the assessment fee from the total cost of the product. It’s our way of making sure you get the best value while prioritizing your health and comfort.

Maintaining the proper humidity in your home is important for maintaining healthy indoor air. Benefits of a whole home humidifier include:

• Improved Comfort: Properly humidified air prevents dry air that causes discomfort, such as dry/itchy eyes and sore throats. It also eases congestion and can enhance sleep quality by reducing snoring and preventing dryness in the throat and nasal passages.

• Healthier Respiratory System: Proper humidity levels can help alleviate symptoms of respiratory issues like asthma, allergies, and sinusitis by keeping mucous membranes moist and reduce irritation.

• Protection for Wood Furnishings: Maintaining consistent humidity levels can prevent wood furniture, floors, and doors from drying out, warping, or cracking.

• Preservation of Home Structure: Adequate humidity levels can can help prevent damage to walls, paint, wallpaper, and electronics causes by excessively dry air.

• Energy Efficiency: Adding humidity to the air can make your home feel warmer at lower temperatures, allowing you to lower your thermostat and potentially save on heating costs.

• Reduced Static Electricity: Balanced humidity levels can decrease static electricity buildup, reducing annoying shocks and preventing damage to sensitive electronics

Too much moisture inyour home can be damaging. Whole home dehumidifiers are ideal for dehumidifying your home, basement, and crawl space. Benefits of whole home dehumidifiers include:

• Prevention of Mold and Mildew: Dehumidifiers reduce moisture levels in the home, making it less conducive for mold and mildew to thrive. This helps prevent mold growth on walls, ceilings, furniture, and other surfaces, which can cause structural damage and respiratory issues.

• Improved Indoor Air Quality: Removes excess moisture and pollutants from the air, resulting in cleaner and fresher indoor air. This can lead to fewer respiratory infections and a more comfortable living environment.

• Reduced Allergens: Lower humidity levels inhibit the growth of dust mites, a common allergen.

• Odor Reduction: Excess humidity can lead to musty odors in the home, especially in damp areas like basements and bathrooms. Dehumidifiers help eliminate these odors by reducing moisture levels and discouraging the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi.

• Protection of Wooden Furniture and Structures: High humidity levels can cause wooden furniture, flooring, and structural components of the home to warp, rot, or decay. Dehumidifiers help maintain optimal humidity levels, prolonging the lifespan of the materials and preventing costly damage.

• Prevention of Condensation: Excess moisture in the air can lead to condensation on windows, walls, and other surfaces. Dehumidifiers help control humidity levels, reducing condensation and preventing water damage to interior surfaces and belongings.

• Increased Comfort: High humidity can make indoor spaces feel sticky and uncomfortable, especially during hot summer months. Dehumidifiers help create a more comfortable living environment by reducing humidity levels and allowing for better temperature regulation.

• Energy Efficiency: Dehumidifiers can complement air conditioning systems by reducing the workload on the AC unit. When humidity levels are lower, air conditioners operate more efficiently, leading to potential energy savings and lower utility bills.

• Protection for Electronics and Appliances: High humidity can cause electronic devices, appliances, and sensitive equipment to malfunction or corrode. They can help protect these items from moisture-related damage.

Whole house air purifiers, cleaners, and air scrubbers work to create a healthy environment for your home by working to remove harmful particulates, viruses, and bacteria. Benefits of a whole home air cleaner include:

• Improved Indoor Air Quality: Air cleaners and purifiers remove contaminants such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other airborne particles leading to cleaner and fresher air throughout your entire home.

• Respiratory Health: By capturing and filtering out allergens and asthma triggers, air purifiers can significantly reduce allergy symptoms for those sensitive to airborne particles, and reduce asthma attacks. It also helps protect the respiratory system by reducing the risk of respiratory infections and promoting overall lung health by removing harmful elements in the air.

• Reduction of Airborne Viruses and Bacteria: Some air purifiers feature antimicrobial properties, which can help capture and neutralize airborne germs, bacteria, and viruses, reducing the risk of illness.

• Odor Elimination: Some air purifiers are equipped to absorb and/or neutralize odors from cooking, pets, smoke, and other sources, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean.

• Preservation of Home Environment: Air purifiers can help prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt on furniture, walls, and surfaces, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and extending the lifespan of household items.

Whole home ventilation control systems keep your indoor air as fresh as possible.Benefits of these systems include:

• Continuous Ventilation: Whole home fresh air ventilation systems provide continuous ventilation to ensure a constant supply of fresh outdoor air is circulated throughout your entire home. This helps to maintain optimal indoor air quality by reducing the buildup of indoor air pollutants and stale air.

• Improved Indoor Air Quality: By introducing fresh outdoor air into your home, these systems help dilute the indoor air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), cooking odor, and airborne contaminants, resulting in cleaner and healthier indoor air for you and your family.

• Reduction of Indoor Humidity: Fresh air systems can help regulate indoor humidity level by exchanging moist indoor air with drier outdoor air. This an help prevent mold and mildew growth, reduce the risk of condensation-related issues, and create a more comfortable living environment.

• Enhanced Comfort: Fresh air systems can help regulate indoor temperature and humidity levels, improving overall comfort and creating a more pleasant living environmen year-round.

• Health Benefits: Improved indoor air quality provided by fresh air systems can have numerous health benefits, including reduced respiratory problems, fewer allergies and asthma attacks, and improved overall well-being.
