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

With this deadly heat I was distraught so I called Armor Air. Their employee Sean was professional, courteous, and respectful. After diagnosing my situation he then called the technician Perry to come fix my air. Perry was unbelievably everything you want when you have to have reach out to home maintenance companies. He was professional, diligent, polite and most of all I could highly sense honesty.
As a senior citizen on a fixed income with asthma and limited home repair knowledge I was pleasantly surprised by how I was treated and I so appreciate their expertise and generosity towards my situation.
Owners of Armor Air you have 2 rock stars on your staff who went above and beyond for customer service and professionalism….thank you and please reiterate my thanks to your technicians as well.
God Bless You!

A truly professional and friendly company to have come by my home. One of their team members, Tyler came out on a Sunday to evaluate my system after the AC quit working. As soon as the new parts were in the next day Austin and Levi came out to complete the repairs. The two of them were extremely polite, professional, and worked with notable efficiency and organization to get the job done in a timely manor. Tyler, Austin, and Levi themselves were all excellent with communication and pleasant to deal with through out phone calls and the work being performed. All in all I will absolutely be recommending them to anyone I know and will continue to use them myself in the future.

Jennifer Gibson
Levi and Austin came out for a preventative maintenance check on my AC unit. Both of them were professional, in uniform, introduced themselves and were friendly throughout the service call. At the end of the service, they explained what was found and answered my questions, then asked several times before leaving if I had additional questions. I would recommend Armor Air and was happy to sign on as a member for future heating, cooling and plumbing needs.
