Know What You're Breathing.

State-of-the-art air quality testing, and fixes that actually work.

We measure particles, chemicals, CO₂, humidity, mold risk and duct leakage room by room, then hand you a plain-English report and a prioritized plan. No guesswork. No pressure.

Why it matters

Most Comfort Problems Are Air Problems.

Allergies that never quit, dust that comes right back, a musty closet, a bedroom that always feels clammy. These are almost always measurable, and almost always fixable once you know the cause.

~90%of our time is spent indoors
2–5×indoor pollutant levels can exceed outdoor levels

What we measure

A Complete Look, Not a Quick Glance.

Professional-grade instruments, used room by room and at the equipment, so the recommendations are based on your home and not on a sales script.

Fine particles (PM2.5)

Dust, smoke, pollen and dander small enough to reach deep into the lungs.

Target: under 12 µg/m³

VOCs & formaldehyde

Chemical off-gassing from cleaners, furniture, paint and new construction.

Target: low & falling

Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

The best everyday signal of whether your home is getting enough fresh air.

Target: under 1,000 ppm

Humidity & dew point

The single biggest driver of mold, dust mites and that sticky Louisiana feel.

Target: 40–55% RH

Carbon monoxide

A safety check on every gas appliance, furnace and attached garage.

Target: zero

Mold risk

Moisture readings, surface checks and coil inspection where mold likes to hide.

Target: no active growth

Duct leakage & blower door

How much air your ducts and house leak, and where the attic air is getting in.

Target: under 10% duct leakage

Static pressure & airflow

Whether your system can actually move the air it was designed to move.

Target: within equipment rating
How testing works

From First Visit to Fresh Air.

A clear, repeatable process, with a written report you keep either way.

  1. 01

    Listen & walk through

    We start with your concerns: allergies, odors, hot rooms, dust. Then we walk the home, attic and equipment.

  2. 02

    Measure room by room

    Particles, VOCs, CO₂, humidity, temperature and CO in every main living space, plus optional 48-hour logging.

  3. 03

    Test the system

    Static pressure, airflow, duct leakage and, where useful, a blower door test to find where outside air gets in.

  4. 04

    Your air quality report

    Plain-English results, scored and color-coded, with photos and the likely cause of each problem.

  5. 05

    Options, never pressure

    A prioritized plan with good, better and best choices. Start with the biggest win, or do nothing yet.

  6. 06

    Re-test to prove it

    After any work, we measure again so you can see the improvement in real numbers.

Remediation

Fixes That Move the Numbers.

We only recommend what your results call for, and we re-test to prove it worked.

High-efficiency filtration

MERV 13 media cabinets and properly sized returns that capture fine particles without choking airflow.

UV-C & PCO purification

Coil and in-duct UV to keep the cooling coil clean, and photocatalytic purifiers to reduce odors and VOCs.

Whole-home dehumidification

Dedicated dehumidifiers that hold every room at 45 to 50 percent humidity, even in shoulder seasons.

Fresh-air ventilation (ERV)

Energy recovery ventilators that bring in fresh air, lower CO₂ and VOCs, and do not add humidity.

Duct cleaning & sealing

Cleaning where it helps, and sealing leaky ducts so attic dust and humid air stay out of your living space.

Humidity-smart controls

Thermostats and equipment settings tuned to remove moisture, not just lower the temperature.

Continuous air monitoring

Optional smart monitors so you can see your air quality, and so we can spot problems early.

Coil & drain remediation

Cleaning and treating coils, drain pans and condensate lines where musty odors usually start.

Northshore Homes Have Unique Air.

Our climate makes air quality a year-round issue. Testing is how you know which of these is affecting your home.

  • Relentless humidity. Oversized or poorly tuned systems cool fast but leave moisture behind.
  • Long pollen seasons. Pine and oak pollen find every leak in your ductwork.
  • Storm and flood seasons. Water intrusion can leave hidden mold behind for months.
  • Ducts in hot attics. Small leaks pull hot, dusty, humid attic air straight into living spaces.

Common questions

Air quality questions, answered.

How long does an air quality assessment take?

The in-home visit typically takes two to three hours. For a fuller picture, we can leave data loggers in place for 48 hours to capture humidity and CO₂ swings overnight. (Demo copy: timing to be confirmed.)

Is there a charge for testing?

The assessment is a paid diagnostic service because it involves specialized instruments and a written report. Pricing will be listed here at launch. (Demo copy: pricing to be confirmed.)

Will you try to sell me equipment?

We show you the numbers, explain what they mean and give you options, including low-cost fixes and "keep an eye on it" when that is the honest answer. You decide. No pressure.

Do I need an air purifier?

Maybe not. Many homes improve more from humidity control and duct sealing than from a purifier. Testing tells us which fix will make the biggest difference for your money.

Can you test after water damage or a renovation?

Yes. Post-flood, post-storm and post-renovation testing are common requests, and a good way to confirm your air is back to normal.
