Taking the Mystery Out of Indoor Air Quality

When most people think about HVAC, they think about heating and cooling. While these things are vital to your comfort, the quality of the air you breathe is just as (if not more) important to staying comfortable. Things like heightened humidity and excess dust or pollen can be detrimental to your health. Modern building codes—including the tight sealing of homes—limits air flow, creating a build-up of indoor air pollutants.

To protect your family in San Rafael or Novato from poor indoor air, you first need to identify the problem. This starts with booking an appointment with Kelly Plumbing & Heating—Novato’s indoor air quality experts.

The Importance of Indoor Air Quality Testing

If you’re here, you probably suspect your home or office has an air quality problem. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be looking for “air quality testing near me”. Many of our clients tell us they experience symptoms in a certain building, only for them to alleviate after they leave the property. This location-based feeling is referred to as “sick building syndrome”, and is a relatively common occurrence in the Novato area.

The symptoms of polluted air vary from person to person but usually include:

Burning eyes or blurry vision
Clinical depression
Chronic congestion
Difficulty concentrating
Headaches
Lethargy
Nausea
Vomiting
Rashes

It should be obvious how large of a role indoor air quality plays in your everyday wellness! And, Kelly Plumbing & Heating wants you to live the best life you can. That’s why we’ve invested so much money in our air quality testing training and equipment.

Our Air Quality Testing Process

Kelly Plumbing & Heating provides comprehensive air quality testing throughout the Novato area. Though this may sound simple, pinpointing the exact causes of your problems is a complex process. Doing so correctly requires an in-depth understanding of potential contaminants and the dangers they pose. To ensure consistent results, we typically follow the below process:

Initial Consultation: You call (415) 892-3424 and discuss your concerns. We’ll ask some questions about the symptoms you’re experiencing. We may also ask about your building's set-up and history. When done, we’ll schedule an appointment for air quality testing in Novato.

Perform a Visual Inspection: Upon arriving, our technician will introduce him or herself. After that, they will complete a visual inspection. This means looking for things like roof leaks, salt deposits, window condensation, and staining. Though these will not reveal all contaminants, the visual markers give us insight into potential problems.

Take Measurements: Now that they know what part of your building show signs of damage, our specialists will take air quality measurements. This usually involves using a handheld monitor to determine your home’s current levels of carbon monoxide, radon, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Once complete, these things will be compiled into a report.

Make Recommendations: Now that we’ve pinpointed the reason behind your stuffy nose or chronic cough, we’ll present you with an itemized action plan. For items we can assist with, a price quote will also be provided. Potential solutions include air filtration, high-efficiency filters, and humidification services.

After that, all that’s left is to implement the products and changes we suggested.
