Why Indoor Air Quality Isn’t Just About Air
According to the U.S. EPA, indoor air can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. And when 90% of our time is spent indoors, especially in winter across the Finger Lakes, that statistic becomes hard to ignore. While it's easy to see when you need to dust, it’s harder to know when the air in your home needs cleaning. Just like the air itself, its pollutants are invisible. But their consequences are not!
Air Advice Indoor Air Quality Tests
Breathe easier with Halco’s advanced Air Advice Indoor Air Quality test—available as a 3-day standalone service or included in your home energy evaluation. We start testing in the first 30 minutes of your visit and review real-time early results with you right then and there. Detect pollutants like VOCs, CO2, humidity issues, and more. It's a fast, accurate way to uncover hidden air quality problems and take control of your home’s health.
Poor indoor air quality causes many problems:
- Health concerns: Air pollutants can lead to anything from minor sinus irritation to severe health complications
- High energy bills: Expensive utility costs due to related energy issues in houses
- Damage: Damage to your furniture, home, and belongings, including wood cracks, mold, and mildew
- Discomfort: Itchy and dry skin, annoying static shocks, and other uncomfortable situations
But here’s the truth: poor indoor air quality is rarely a standalone issue. It’s often the result of deeper problems like:
- Inadequate insulation or air sealing
- Excess moisture from leaks or poor ventilation
- Aging or oversized HVAC systems
- Combustion appliances and fossil fuel systems
That’s why Halco doesn’t just fix the symptoms—we solve the source.
