Airqualitytestingtoronto Stories

Call us for the best indoor air quality test in the Toronto area, today. Did you know that if you're living in a new home, a ventilation system is now building code. In our experience, most new homes that we have tested for air quality and poorly installed and undersized ventilation systems or HRV's.

So you just bought a new house or a resale house in the Toronto area or GTHA. Congratulations first of all! Hopefully you were able to get a reasonable sale price and you were also allowed to have a structural home inspection to ensure there are no surprises coming your way from a structural or mechanical perspective. What about the indoor air that you and your family will be breathing? The indoor air quality of a new residence is often overlooked or clients believe that the structural home inspection covers this...it doesn't.

Disinfecting indoor environments of crucial these days for obvious reasons. Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 8-9 months you've come to realize that the cleaner the indoor environment is, the less chance of getting sick. There is one important question: Are you disinfecting your home properly? How do you know?

Yes that's right, your vacuum cleaner may be killing you or at the very least making you sick. Almost every time we perform air quality test on a vacuum cleaner it fails miserably. In many cases, it's clients with severe allergies or asthma that are really diligent in keeping their homes clean that seemingly have the worst polluters. These people vacuum their house daily to every other day and pollute the air the most. Don't be fooled by HEPA vacuums...Some of these are the worst indoor air quality polluters.

Outdoor air pollution in Toronto and Southern Ontario is very poor today due to the Northern Ontario forest fires. We had a lot of pollution this spring with higher than normal pollen counts leading to more serious allergic reactions. Now, asthma sufferers are having to deal with the high dust counts outdoors from the soot and smoke from forest fires. This is Climate Change folks and it's here to stay.
