How do you test air quality in your home

Home air quality test

You have immunodeficient family members at your house. Lately, there has been a concern with the indoor air quality, especially after recent fires, so you are concerned with the air quality indoors and want to make sure the air everyone breathes is as clean as possible. The best course of action is to get a home air quality test.

How to test air quality

There are several ways you can test the air quality in your home. You can buy an air quality monitor that shows you the VOC levels, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Mold, and even the temperature and humidity level. But those mentioned above are useful only if you know that these matters levels are acceptable but can indicate when they rise above the ordinary. That’s when you need to get a professional assessment of the situation and hire an industrial hygienist to perform an inspection and do an air test of your home. The professional will utilize industrial-grade equipment, which is much more sophisticated than an electronic air quality testing device. The expert will also be examining the sample in a professional laboratory and producing a report.

Indoor air quality testing cost

When a professional is conducting an indoor air quality test, the cost will depend on the test. No one size fits all test can scan for every single item and tell you the results. The closest test to that is a TO15 test, which can look for about 74 or more compounds, but generally, air tests are more specific, so you will need to discuss the issue with a professional to choose the best air quality test for you. Expect to spend from $550 to $1,500 for an indoor air quality test.
