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

What our clients say
Bob Beaurain
Levi did a great job installing the tankless water heater, laundry tub and updating plumbing under the house. He was courteous and knowledgeable and was always willing to answer any questions we had.
Melissa Franklin
Tyler was great!
Rebecca Byrnes
Armor Air stands out as a company that gives back to the community.
Jamie Robertson, owner of Armor Air, donated a brand new HVAC system with installation to one of Cardinal Ritter’s fundraisers and we were the winning bidders. Most companies will sell and drive profits which is important, but few companies will donate something so large and impactful.
The installers, Austin and Shaun, were kind and compassionate, and discussed all the questions we had during the installation process. We were so thankful that they took our family’s 1990’s system into the twenty-first century with quality equipment and impeccable service.
If you are in need of an HVAC or plumbing company that you can trust, give Armor Air a call. You won’t be disappointed with the hands and hearts they are so eager to share.
Looking forward to many more opportunities with them in the future! Highly recommend!

Taya Millikan
Armor came highly recommended a truly honest company and available When some major complications appeared.
Robert took pictures of everything internally on my HVAC systems and did a video explaining things that will need to be done and or how things looked internally. Excellent idea I feel that this is a step above.
Also need to add to this review that we had a gas leak prior to Robert **** and Armor sent out John to assess the situation. The small gas leak was by our grill and the gas company Said that there was still a small leak somewhere within our house So we needed to hire a plumber to figure out where it was. 14 hours later, two days Of John and Levi trying to figure out along with Five holes cut into my bulkhead ceiling in the lower Level of my home. No gas for two days which means no hot water not able to cook, etc. With all the Work they did they finally came to a conclusion that the gas company missed The leak on the meter that belongs to them. Thankfully, John and Levi did not give up on trying to figure this out. We called the gas company told them what transpired. A mishap of their own employee. Such a great group of guys that I got to meet through this whole process. Thanks Armor for all your help and not giving up
Thanks, Robert. John & Levi
Michael Hafley
He did an excellent job on inspection on my water heater, after he flushed water heater, he inspected my bathroom and kitchen sink and he did go over a couple things that I might need to replace due to corrosion found on kitchen faucet and kitchen sink drain, and was gonna give me a quote, but I'll have my uncle come out fix that for me, and I highly recommend this guy and he did and excellent job on my water heater. THANKS AGAIN!
Brenda Melville
This wasn't a "piece-of-cake" easy job, but these 2 men did a great job. They showed us the video of the pipe after it was cleaned so we could easily see what the problem is with our sewer pipe. Very professional.
