Made a big difference in my life
on January 3, 2019
Posted by: Lucky
from BC Canada
I was concerned about the air quality in our house because of woodsmoke from neighbours. Woodsmoke contains fine particulates and these pass through the lungs and into the blood stream where they cause inflammation and plaque in the arteries that can lead to cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. Having had a heart attack, I wanted to protect myself from these fine particulates. Getting an IQAir monitor made a big difference in my life. I found I could keep PM levels low in the house with a good whole house air filter on our HVAC, even when readings for PM2.5 (particles that are 2.5 microns in size, a size measured by governments to determine air quality, or lack thereof) were high. Not knowing what the levels were caused anxiety and stress. Now, I can see the levels and feel more confident and relaxed. The monitor also shows CO2 (carbon monoxide) levels and I chose this unit in part for that feature. Keeping PM out of the house is one thing, but you need ventilation - i.e. bring air in from the outdoors. So it is a bit of a balancing act. Bring in air but keep out PM. I can't use a carbon filter as I am allergic to carbon (which is in woodsmoke too), so need to ventilate when PM levels are low outside. I can take the IQAir outdoors as it has a battery backup and get a reading. Surprisingly, there are times when the air smells good but the PM2.5 is fairly high, and times when it smells bad and PM2.5 is not very high. Without the monitor, I would not know. As a test, I placed the monitor in our bedrooms at night and found that CO2 levels got to a moderately unhealthy level, so ran the furnace fan 24/7 to circulate air in the house, pulling CO2 out of the bedrooms at night, and blowing in fresher air from the rest of the house through the HVAC ducts. Now sleeping levels of CO2 are healthy. We sleep better and feel more rested. I have learned from using the monitor that when I start feeling the air quality is getting stuffy and stale, CO2 is around 700 ppm. I can now judge that level without looking at the monitor. That is when I need to get more ventilation.

I live in Pennsylvania and our air quality at times is dangerous. Our government officials don't can about our health. So, I have two of these devices in my house and probably will purchase another for outside. My only complaint is I wish IQAir offered a protective enclosure for outdoor placement of their products.

Good indicator but my geographic location does not

This is a nice product if reading the air quality is important to you. Unfortunately my geographic location does not come up which is important for the outside readings. I would not purchase this accessory again only for that reason.
Response from IQAirBy IQAir Customer Support, September 9, 2019
Hello there Chuck,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback!
Like most air quality monitors, the AirVisual Pro relies on a vast network of public outdoor monitoring stations. While the AirVisual Pro features the world’s largest network of monitoring stations to provide accurate AQI readings, it still depends on its users to contribute their own local outdoor air quality readings.
With that said, it’s possible that there isn’t a preexisting public outdoor monitoring station nearby your geographic location. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to certify your AirVisual Pro to host your own public outdoor monitoring station. Additionally, our Customer Care may be able to help you with another workaround. For more information, please reach out to our friendly Customer Care team at (888) 560-1020.
Thanks again for your review, Chuck. We look forward to hearing from you!

This has been helpful for our family. We discovered that our CO2 levels tend to be high, so we know pay attention to bringing fresh air in. Thankfully, our outdoor air quality is good where we live. At least for the time period we've had our unit.
