Laser Particle Counter
We have devices that can monitor the air quality in a home or business. These monitors can tell us the number of particles in the air. It allows us to check equipment, such as air scrubbers, to verify that the pieces are working properly. It also helps us keep safe working environments for our employees on the job site.
Air quality affects people differently. Those who are more sensitive, perhaps with allergies and asthma, will have a greater need of clean air.
How to improve air quality
There are several things that influence air quality. Your carpet is the biggest filter in the home, and we see more homes putting in hard surfaces (tile, wood, laminate, etc.) which keeps more particles in the air.
Air duct cleaning and maintenance on your HVAC system is important to air quality. Regular cleaning of your air ducts will help reduce particles in the air. It is also very important to have the proper furnace filter in your system. You need one with a MERV rating between 7-12. This will be effective in trapping particles, but not so high that it restricts air flow. Change this filter regularly. Yellow Van gives free estimates for air duct cleaning, and has tools to inspect the inside of ducts before we begin work. Call us at 800-828-3969 to set up your estimate.
