Tampa Indoor Air Quality Testing

Common Indoor Air Pollutants

Some of the most common and recognized pollutants include tobacco smoke, dust, dust mites, pet hair and dander, and mold spores. However, there are many others to be concerned about. Some of the most common IAQ pollutants we can test for include:

• Harmful mycotoxins from mold
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• VOCs released by cleaning products
• VOCs from new carpets and flooring
• Chemicals from recently installed upholstery
• Smoke and other byproducts from cooking
• Allergens trapped by carpets and rugs
• Exhaust from fuel-burning appliances
• Compounds from smoke damage after a fire
• Chemicals from air fresheners and bug sprays
• Asbestos (may be in old popcorn ceilings, insulation, and tiles)
• Ammonia fumes from unclean cat litter boxes

How We Test Indoor Air Quality

The first step to improving indoor air quality is to test the air in your Tampa home. When you schedule an appointment with JackRabbit Air Conditioning, we perform quick, simple, and accurate tests that help us determine how to move forward.

By testing your home’s IAQ, we can determine how to eliminate common health hazards. Some of the most important tests include the following:

• IAQ Meter Testing: We use an advanced IAQ Meter to measure pollutant levels, particle concentrations, airflow, ventilation rates, and other parameters. An IAQ meter can also measure temperature and humidity and detect the presence and concentration of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, mold, particulate matter, and VOCs.
• Air Sampling: Carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, lead, radon, dust mites, bacteria, and pesticides, plus nitrogen dioxide and other combustion byproducts, are just some pollutants we can test for. Finding their presence and concentration is crucial. We can then determine the source and find ways to eliminate the problem and protect your household.
• Mold Testing: Signs of mold in walls include discolored walls, peeling wallpaper, dark stains on tiles, and a stale, musty odor. Symptoms of mold exposure include allergies, congestion, throat irritation, headache, fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath. If you experience any of these, we can set you up with experienced Tampa Bay mold testing and remediation professionals.

• Air Purifier Installation: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and purifiers remove chemicals and organic pollutants. Some can remove particles as tiny as viruses. When installed in your HVAC system, they can purify all the air circulating in your home.
• Dryer Vent Cleaning: The lint inside your dyer is a fire hazard. Technicians at JackRabbit Air Conditioning clean dryer vents to reduce the risk, help your dryer be more effective, and reduce wear and tear. Dryer vent cleaning can also increase energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
• Duct Cleaning: Dust and dirt buildup, infestations, and other issues inside your ducts can reduce indoor air quality. Professional duct cleaning prevents pollution from recirculating in your home and damaging your heating and cooling system.
• UV Light Air Purifiers: A UV light purifier provides disinfection inside your HVAC system. By breaking down the DNA of microorganisms, it stops them from reproducing. This reduces bacteria, pollen, dust mites, and other organic pollutants.
• Air Scrubbers: Attached to your HVAC ductwork, an air scrubber removes contaminants and purifies the air. It eliminates dust, pollen, particulates, mold, and odors. Contact us to learn if you could benefit from installing an air scrubber.
