Breathe Easier at Home: Protect Your Family’s Air

Air quality check at home

The Hidden Threat in Michigan Homes

When most people think about pollution, they picture smog, exhaust, or factory smoke drifting across city skylines. But the truth is that the air inside your home can be more contaminated than the air outdoors — and you may not even notice. Because invisible contaminants compromise your family’s health, identifying air problems requires data. That’s why we start every service with a precise Indoor Air Quality Testing assessment, using professional-grade monitoring equipment to give you accurate, unbiased readings.
Across Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne Counties, countless homeowners experience health and comfort issues linked to poor indoor air quality. Invisible contaminants build up over time, trapped in your HVAC system and circulated throughout your living spaces. They silently affect your energy, your sleep, and your family’s overall well-being.
At Friendly Pro Services, we believe every homeowner deserves to breathe clean, healthy air. With over thirty years of experience, we use precise testing and advanced filtration. Our innovative whole-home solutions help you find problems, remove pollutants, and make your home safer and more comfortable.


Understanding the Invisible Enemies in Your Air

Many people assume that if their home smells fresh or looks clean, the air must be safe. Unfortunately, that isn’t true. Some of the most harmful contaminants are completely invisible.

Mold, Mildew, and Spores

Mold spores thrive anywhere moisture lingers — in damp basements, crawl spaces, or even inside air-conditioning coils. When the humidity in your home is not balanced, spores can spread through your ducts. This can cause allergies, asthma attacks, and chronic sinus infections.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

VOCs are gases released by thousands of everyday materials: new carpets, flooring, cleaning products, paint, and furniture. Even small concentrations can cause irritation, dizziness, or headaches. Over time, long-term exposure may contribute to more serious health problems.

Particulates: Dust, Pet Dander, and Pollen

Microscopic particles float through your air every day, small enough to bypass standard HVAC filters. These fine particulates settle in your lungs and continuously irritate airways, especially for those with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.

Bacteria and Viruses

Your heating and cooling system can harbor bacteria and viruses in its coils or ductwork. As air circulates, those pathogens travel with it, spreading sickness throughout your household.

Radon

Michigan homes are at risk for radon — an odorless, colorless gas that seeps up from the ground. Friendly Pro Services does not do radon remediation. We always suggest getting professional testing to keep your family safe.

The Friendly Pro Services Air Quality Assessment

Because contaminants are invisible, identifying air quality problems requires advanced tools and expertise. That’s where we come in.
Our indoor air quality testing process goes beyond simple observation. Using professional-grade monitoring equipment, we measure the types and levels of pollutants present in your home. The data we collect allows us to locate problem areas and recommend customized solutions that deliver lasting results.

What Our Testing Process Provides

  • Accurate Readings: Continuous monitoring captures the true conditions of your air — including particulates, humidity, and VOCs — over time.
  • Source Identification: We trace the source of contamination, whether it’s a humidity issue, leaking ductwork, or poor filtration.
  • Personalized Solutions: You will get a custom action plan. This plan will show you how to improve your air and protect your health.
For over 30 years, Friendly Pro Services has been Metro Detroit’s trusted authority for precision air testing. We don’t rely on guesswork — we rely on data.


Comprehensive IAQ Solutions Designed for Michigan Homes

After your assessment, our skilled technicians will start working on solutions that meet your home’s specific needs.

No matter if you live in a new house or an old bungalow, we have the tools and skills to make your air safer and cleaner.

1. Advanced Air Filtration Systems

A typical 1-inch filter can only trap large debris like dust and hair. We install high-efficiency filtration systems — including Media Filters and HEPA filtration — with higher MERV ratings (11–16). These capture microscopic particles like dander, mold spores, and fine dust that most filters miss.

2. Whole-Home Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers

Michigan’s climate can swing from bone-dry winters to muggy summers in a matter of days. Controlling humidity keeps your home comfortable and prevents the conditions where mold and dust mites thrive.
Our whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers work with your HVAC system. They help keep humidity levels between 30% and 50%. Balanced humidity helps you feel warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This allows for energy savings while keeping you comfortable.

3. Germicidal UV Lights: The Pathogen Destroyer

We install UV-C lights inside your HVAC air handler to neutralize airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold spores before they circulate through your home. This quiet, low-maintenance technology works continuously to disinfect your air without chemicals or filters.

4. Professional Duct Cleaning and Sealing

Your ductwork acts like your home’s respiratory system. Over time, it collects layers of dust, pet hair, and even construction debris. Dirty or leaky ducts can reintroduce pollutants into your clean air, undermining your filtration efforts.
Friendly Pro Services offers complete duct cleaning and sealing. This helps remove buildup and stops unfiltered air from coming in through gaps.

5. Smart Thermostats and Air Control

Smart thermostats do more than regulate temperature. Many models integrate with IAQ systems to monitor humidity, control ventilation, and alert you when it’s time to change your filter. Our technicians can recommend and install models that optimize both comfort and efficiency.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

A clean home isn’t truly clean until the air you breathe is free of contamination. Improving air quality isn’t just about comfort; it’s about health, safety, and long-term value.
  • Health Benefits:
    Fewer allergens and irritants mean fewer asthma attacks, sinus problems, and allergy flare-ups.
  • Better Energy Efficiency:
    A clean system runs smoother, reducing strain on your HVAC equipment and lowering energy bills.
  •  Increased Home Value:
    Buyers increasingly prioritize energy-efficient, health-focused homes.
  •  Enhanced Comfort:
     Consistent humidity and fresh, filtered air make your home feel more relaxing year-round.

When your HVAC system runs efficiently and your air is clean, your entire indoor environment benefits — from your family’s health to your wallet.

Addressing the Root Cause of Air Pollution

Many homeowners try quick fixes like plug-in air purifiers or scented sprays, but these only mask the problem. The real solution is addressing indoor air pollutants at their source.

FAQs About Air Quality Testing and Solutions

Q1. How often should I have my home’s air tested?

 A: We recommend testing every one to two years, or whenever you notice persistent odors, allergy symptoms, or after renovations or water damage.

Q2. What is a MERV rating?

A: MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value — a measure of how effectively a filter traps particles. Higher MERV filters capture smaller contaminants.

Q3. How long does an air quality test take?

A: The initial setup is quick, but we usually leave the monitoring device for 24–48 hours to capture accurate data across different conditions.

Q4. Are whole-home IAQ systems energy-efficient?
A: Absolutely. Modern humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and UV lights are designed to use minimal energy — often less than a standard light bulb — while improving comfort and efficiency.
