vital airVitalAir™

Your VitalAir™ plan enhances indoor air quality and protects your family’s health. It includes bi-annual HVAC maintenance, installation of an advanced air purification system, and regular duct cleaning to reduce dust and mold. We offer humidity control, allergy testing, and air quality assessments to identify issues. Members also gain access to educational resources, with optional add-ons like mold remediation and UV germicidal light installation for improved air purification. Designed to prioritize indoor air quality and the health of your family.

  • Annual maintenance visits with a focus on cleaning and sanitizing HVAC components.
  • Advanced air purification system installation to remove airborne pollutants, allergens, and pathogens.
  • Regular duct cleaning and sanitization to eliminate dust, mold, and other contaminants.
  • Humidity control solutions to maintain optimal indoor humidity levels for comfort and health.
  • Allergy testing and indoor air quality assessments to identify specific pollutants and allergens.
  • Access to educational resources on maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preventing common respiratory issues.
  • Optional add-ons include mold remediation services and installation of UV germicidal lights for additional air purification.


Air Quality Testing:

  • Particulate Matter: Measure levels of particulate matter (Pm2.5, Pm10) to assess dust and allergens in the air.
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (Vocs): Test for Vocs, which can include chemicals emitted by paints, cleaning products, and building materials.
  • Carbon Dioxide (Co2): Check Co2 levels to gauge ventilation effectiveness and indoor air quality.
  • Carbon Monoxide (Co): Test for Co levels, which can be a sign of incomplete combustion and potential health hazards.

Ventilation System Inspection:

  • Air Exchange Rates: Measure the rate at which outdoor air is brought into the home and stale indoor air is expelled.
  • Ventilation Efficiency: Assess the effectiveness of mechanical ventilation systems (e.g., HRVs, Ervs) in improving indoor air quality.
  • Exhaust Fans: Check the operation and effectiveness of exhaust fans in bathrooms, kitchens, and other moisture-prone areas.

Air Filtration Systems:

  • Filter Condition: Inspect the condition and type of air filters used in HVAC system air purifiers. Recommend replacements if they are clogged or ineffective.
  • Filter Efficiency: Assess the efficiency rating (Merv or Hepa) of filters to ensure they are capable of trapping pollutants effectively.

Humidity Control:

  • Humidity Levels: Measure indoor humidity levels using a hygrometer to ensure they are within the recommended range (typically 30-50%).
  • Dehumidifiers and Humidifiers: Inspect and assess the performance of HVAC dehumidifiers and humidifiers, ensuring they are functioning correctly and maintaining appropriate humidity levels.

Source Control:

  • Identifying Pollutant Sources: Identify and assess potential sources of indoor air pollution, such as mold, mildew, tobacco smoke, and household chemicals.
  • Mitigation Strategies: Recommend strategies for reducing or eliminating identified pollutant sources, such as proper storage of chemicals, not smoking indoors, and mold remediation.

Cleaning and Maintenance:

  • Duct Cleaning: Inspect and recommend cleaning of HVAC ducts if they are contaminated with dust, mold, or debris.
  • Surface Cleaning: Evaluate cleaning practices and recommend improvements to reduce dust and allergen accumulation on surfaces.

Airflow and Distribution:

  • Airflow Patterns: Assess airflow patterns and distribution to ensure even air circulation and avoid areas of stagnant air.
  • Vent Placement: Check the placement and condition of air vents and registers to ensure they are not obstructed and are functioning properly.

Mold and Moisture Inspection:

  • Mold Detection: Inspect for visible signs of mold growth on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. Conduct moisture tests to identify potential mold sources.
  • Moisture Control: Assess areas prone to moisture issues (e.g., basements, crawl spaces) and recommend solutions for moisture control and prevention.

Building Material Evaluation:

  • Material Off-Gassing: Identify and evaluate building materials that may off-gas Vocs or other pollutants, such as new carpets, paints, or furniture.
  • Product Recommendations: Recommend low-VOC or non-toxic building materials and products to improve indoor air quality.

Carbon Monoxide and Combustion Appliances:

  • Co Detectors: Check the placement and functionality of carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are working correctly.
  • Combustion Appliance Inspection: Inspect gas appliances (e.g., stoves, water heaters) for proper venting and combustion efficiency to prevent Co buildup.

Thermal Comfort Assessment:

  • Temperature and Comfort: Assess temperature and comfort levels to ensure they are conducive to good indoor air quality and overall well-being.
  • Thermostat Calibration: Verify that thermostats are accurately regulating temperature and contributing to efficient HVAC operation.

Documentation and Reporting:

  • IAQ Report: Provide a detailed report of indoor air quality findings, including test results, identified issues, and recommendations for improvements.

Recommendations for Improvement:

  • Action Plan: Develop an action plan for improving indoor air quality based on inspection results, including specific steps and potential upgrades or changes.

Follow-Up and Monitoring:

  • Regular Monitoring: Recommend a schedule for regular air quality monitoring and follow-up inspections to ensure ongoing improvement and maintenance of IAQ.
