CO & CO2
Bad air, sick house are terms used to describe the quality of air you breath. We run tests for carbon monoxide C0, carbon dioxide C02 with meters. C02 comes from a various places like, building materials, burning wood stoves & pellet stoves. C0 comes from gas burning appliances, HVAC and your car exhausts.
We get to the root cause of why you have mold—which means identifying what conditions in your home are causing mold to form in the first place. Most of the time, this involves finding sources of moisture and humidity and putting in place solutions to manage those sources.

Testing (C02) Carbon Dioxide levels for bad air
and humidity levels.
- Combustion Efficiency Analyzer
- Measure O2 and CO
- Calculate CO2, efficiency, excess air, CO air free, and ratio
- CO Analyzer
- Measure 0-10,000 ppm CO
- Differential Thermometer
- Dual input K-Type thermocouple temperature tester
Testing (C0) Carbon Monoxide levels at gas hot water heater, boilers and furnace .
This meter is also used for conducting SH-Super Heat testing of HVAC equipment.
Sick House Info
We use state of the art air sampling equipment that meets both OSHA and AHERA standards.
The air samples we collect from your home or business is sent out to an independent lab.
Meter testing for C0- Carbon Monoxide & C02- Carbon Dioxide.
Do you know the quality of air your are breathing?
Do you know the effects of CO or CO2?
C0 2 home detectors that you can purchase at the hardware store are necessary to have in your home or business. However there is a draw back. These detectors will only alarm when they detect dangerous high levels of C0 2. Normally that level is 5000 ppm. They do not tell you if levels are near dangerious.
Did you know that the standard level of outdoor C0 2 is approx 650 ppm. And the levels of C0 2 in the work place or home should not exceed 500 to 600 ppm above the standard outdoor level.
So what if the levels in your structure are between 2000 ppm to 4000 ppm?
Do you know the effects of long term exposure during these levels?
Do you know how to correct the air quality levels?
Do you know what causes high levels of C0 2?
Did you know that long term exposure to high levels can cause heart disease? Mental disorders? Headaches? Drowsiness? Death?
Place yourself in a sealed room filled with people with no windows or doors breathing each others C02, sooner or later you will run out of air.
C02 is produced by: Building materials, dry wall, carpet, wood, paint, people, windburning stoves, leaking refrigerant from your HVAC system, coal plants, boilers, automobiles, electric motors, stoves, welding equipment etc.
Many times we have seen or heard people complaining about drowsiness or headaches and going to the doctor. Thousands of dollars of tests were ran and months of discomfort to find the cause.
As a last resort the doctor would ask, have you had your home or place of employment tested for air quality!

Along with a visual inspection our technicians also use a variety of testing sources to correctly diagnose indoor air quality concerns. Some of these sources include air sampling (testing for 27 species of mold), high relative humidity, noxious gases, moisture levels, allergens, and lead. Many of these tests are performed on site and provide immediate results. According to the EPA, indoor levels of many pollutants are two to five times higher than outdoor levels. With more than 90% of our time spent indoors, these indoor pollutants can have a significant impact on our lives. Mold spores, dust mites, pollens, gases and a host of other pollutants can be found in the cleanest of homes.
