Indoor Air Quality testingComing soon
Check the air inside your home.
Indoor air testing looks at what you cannot see or smell: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, fine particles, humidity and carbon dioxide.
Why people test
The usual reasons.
New paint, floors or furniture
Fresh materials can off-gas for weeks. A test shows what is in the air and when it settles.
A home that feels stuffy
Stale air, foggy windows, a closed-up house in winter. Humidity and carbon dioxide tell that story.
A baseline before a change
New filters, a new HVAC, an air purifier. Test before and after so you know what the change did.
The panels
What we look for.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are gases given off by everyday things in a home: paint, new furniture and flooring, cleaners, air fresheners and solvents. Some fade in days; others keep coming for months. The sampler sits in one room for a set time and measures them alongside formaldehyde, fine particles, humidity and carbon dioxide. Kits are in development, so the panel may change before they ship.

- Formaldehyde
- Fine particles (PM2.5)
- Humidity
- Carbon dioxide
- Temperature pattern
How sampling works
What you do at home.
-
Place the sampler
One spot, away from windows and vents. The card shows you where.
-
Let it run
A set number of hours or days, depending on the test.
-
Seal and send
Back in the prepaid mailer. We tell you when it lands.
Your report
What it tells you.
An air report reads like a weather log for one room: what was in the air, when it peaked, and what to change so it settles.
