IAQ stands for indoor air quality, a term used to describe the cleanliness and condition of the air inside a home or building. Good indoor air quality means the air contains fewer pollutants and maintains proper ventilation and humidity levels. Poor indoor air quality may occur when airborne particles, chemical pollutants, or moisture imbalance build up inside the home.
Because people spend most of their time indoors, IAQ plays an important role in overall comfort and health. Indoor air quality testing helps homeowners understand what is affecting the air inside their home and whether improvements are needed. Solutions such as better filtration, humidity control, or ventilation upgrades can help create a healthier indoor environment.
