Diagnosing Air Quality Issues

The first step in getting proactive about indoor air quality is to perform a thorough review of your existing HVAC appliances and infrastructure to identify potential trouble areas. These can include:

  • Appliances — Aging, inefficient air conditioners, dehumidifiers and other appliances can have a noticeable impact on air quality. Regular maintenance, including a check of all filters, seals and gaskets, can identify potential issues and take corrective action that extends the life and effectiveness of all HVAC system components.
  • Ductwork and air supply intakes — Mold and dust in ductwork contributes to poor air quality and can trigger allergic reactions in building occupants. Poor sealing can introduce moisture into infrastructure components, which leads to mold and bacteria growth. The presence of birds and other pests in air supply intakes can also introduce contaminants.
  • Building issues — Problems such as cracks in a building’s foundation, poor weatherproofing, or other issues commonly encountered in older properties can all lead to indoor air quality issues.
  • Hazardous material storage — Improperly stored volatile organic components, such as paints, solvents and cleaning solutions, is a major safety hazard and a significant detriment to indoor air quality.

Troubleshooting indoor air quality must begin with these foundational issues. While adding an air purifier, dehumidifier or other appliance can make a difference, that difference will be negligible if the baseline air quality in your facility is poor.
