What is an Indoor Air Quality Test?
An Indoor Air Quality Test measures the air inside your home for contaminants, allergens, and microorganisms; things that generally can cause health problems and have adverse effects on people with allergies or asthma. The standard test includes a visual inspection, air monitoring, and an evaluation of your HVAC system.
The results of the test will tell you how much of each indoor air pollutant is currently in your home’s air, and whether it’s healthy to breathe. Armor Air’s knowledgeable HVAC and Indoor Air Quality technicians will conduct the tests, help you interpret the results, and provide you with recommendations for operations and maintenance programs that will improve your home’s indoor air quality.
How Do You Test Indoor Air Quality?
Indoor Air Quality is determined using a series of different factors. A normal air quality test will focus on the following:
- Humidity
- Temperature
- VOC content
- Levels of particulate matter
- Air Quality Index (AQI)
If you are experiencing certain health issues and you suspect they may be related to the air quality in your home, you can purchase indoor air quality monitors at your local hardware store. If the readings from your store-bought monitor seem high, we recommend calling in a professional to do an in-person inspection. An experienced indoor air quality technician can identify the source of any potential issues, and provide an explanation for any areas of concern.
What Should Your Indoor Air be Tested For?
When it comes to testing your indoor air quality, you will need to see if your home’s air has dangerous levels of the following three pollutants:
Radon
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer next to smoking. Radon gas comes from radioactive uranium in the soil and travels upward through cracks in a home’s foundation or basement. If a home has a radon level above safe screening levels, it is strongly recommended that a radon mitigation system be installed.
Mold
Mold is one of the most common issues tested for during an IAQ test. Mold spores are ever-present and can collect on air filters, evaporator coils, ductwork, and HVAC system drip pans. If allergy or asthma symptoms seem to be worsening, it’s likely caused by an unmitigated buildup of mold.
VOCs
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are dangerous chemicals found in homes and businesses. They can spread through contaminated water sources and through the air as vapor. Some common sources of VOCs include solvents, paints, air fresheners, aerosol sprays, and gasoline. If you’ve had work done in your home recently like painting or construction, you may want to consider duct cleaning to remove these chemicals from circulating in your home’s HVAC system.
What are the Benefits of an Indoor Air Quality Test?
Figuring out if there are dangerous contaminants in your indoor air, and deploying the necessary mitigation methods will give you and your family peace of mind. Other benefits of getting your indoor air quality tested include:
- Mitigating allergy symptoms
- Less severe asthma symptoms
- Better sleep
- Reduced chance of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory disease

JOHN Cornelison
Our HVAC system shut down Sunday with the temp around 90 degrees! By evening it was 81 degrees inside our home.
Called Armor Air early Monday morning and advised them I needed a technician as soon as possible due to system shutdown the day before. By 10 am I had a technician named Casey knocking on my door. After a thorough check of the inside and outside unit, he said that system was very low on refrigerant forcing the computer thermostat to shut the system down to prevent damage. He spent at least another 2 hours attempting to locate the leak but couldn’t determine where! He informed us that he would put refrigerant in the system to allow us to have A/C until the following day when he could have the equipment to do a thorough leak search on the system.
Casey returned the next morning and completed a full leak search. The leak was in our A-coil/Evaporator coil and needed replaced. He sat down with the wife and I to explain parts, labor and cost to complete the repairs. Again he had to put more refrigerant in the system to allow our home to have A/C for the second time. He advised he had overnighted the replacement part and would be back the following day for the repairs.
Unfortunately, Casey was sent on an urgent call so Jamie sent his two top technicians Chad and John to complete the repair. Both were wonderful! They were professional, friendly, kept us informed as the work was done. Casey stopped by to see Joe things were going and stayed to assist Chad and John with the repair!
I cannot say enough regarding all 3 technicians about their knowledge, job skills, their professional and caring about the customers and work! Nothing but the very best for all 3!! You have men to be very proud of. And that includes you as well Jamie for taking time out of your day to answer my call and explain the process for the repair.

I recently bought a house and had Armor come out to flush the hot water heater and inspect the plumbing. Ultimately, I needed to have my hot water heater replaced (also added a water softener). Levi was prompt, personable, and professional. He presented me with options and was upfront about pricing. He was able to schedule and complete the work quickly. He also took the time to walk me through the new system, how to maintain the water softener, even shut offs- in case of emergency. Bonus, they didn’t leave my house a mess… I mean every single piece of trash was hauled away! I”m a happy customer.
