Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring is of critical consideration for HVAC contractors. IAQ directly impacts customers' quality of life, making it an essential point of research as you try to maximize the appeal of your HVAC services.
Accordingly, Carrier Enterprise (CE) has launched IQI, an innovative air quality assessment and monitoring kit, allowing users to remotely measure IAQ, letting you and your customer know when to address any necessary changes in real-time.
This article will cover the state of knowledge about IAQ, how it is defined and measured, and how Carrier’s new IQI indoor air quality monitoring kit delivers an elegant solution for your customers. It will also introduce you to Raiven Marketplace, a reliable source to easily acquire IQI at favorable pricing.
We will also explore how IQI can function as the basis for growing your business and delighting customers through managed service contracts.
IAQ has long been recognized as an important measurement, but Covid 19 has shown a spotlight on the need for advanced indoor air quality to provide the healthiest environment.
Major concerns like ‘sick building syndrome’ have been an issue for some time, but the knowledge base has grown to recognize less immediate but more everyday effects of poor indoor air quality, like diminished decision-making ability, productivity, and overall wellbeing.
IAQ is particularly relevant within multi-family properties and office buildings since pollutants can move from person to person through poor quality air.
Indoor air quality is more than just fighting the spread of viruses. In fact, things like volatile organic chemicals from furniture, carpeting, and cleaning solutions, elevated CO2 levels from gas furnaces, as well as viruses, mold, and bacteria (especially important today) can spread through contaminated air. Factors such as high humidity foster mold and bacteria growth.
That is all just from indoor sources. From outdoors, wildfire smoke, particulate matter, and dust and pollen can enter the residence through inadequate sealing and insulation.
Improved filters and building insulation as well as routine, thorough service of gas appliances are some solutions, but the first step is comprehensive, usably formatted measurements of IAQ. Once you can identify the specific problems, you can present an organized, clear action plan for your customers.
And IAQ monitoring allows contractors, technicians, and property owners to do exactly that.
IQI is the most comprehensive indoor air health and comfort assessment kit for HVAC contractors on the market, enabling users to conduct these measurements and communicate the results clearly to customers. In addition, it provides improvement proposals tailored to specific issues detected.
IQ tracks 10 key measurements:
The Carrier Enterprise IQI kit comes organized in a simple multi-pack with a remote sensor system, including up to three air quality monitors. Also included is an Android tablet to store assessment results for clear and simple reporting. Additionally, this kit is cheaper than many of the other options of similar quality and scope.
IQI’s indoor and outdoor air quality monitors continuously measure these 10 data points and report real-time results. Data is stored in the app, making detailed reports and expert recommendations available at a moment’s notice.
To make things even simpler, HVAC contractors can manage all their customers through the app with a convenient single login and is easy to configure with LTE wi-fi.
For HVAC contractors, IQI technology is the foundation for permanent, fact-based relationships with customers regarding their indoor air quality. With real-time, comprehensive monitoring, clear reporting, and proactive recommendations, IQI helps build steady sources of revenue by capturing all the data needed to manage a customer’s IAQ and HVAC systems.
