Commercial Indoor Air Quality Solutions in Los Angeles | Air-Tro

Commercial Indoor Air Quality Solutions

At Air-Tro, we have partnered with Los Angeles-area businesses for more than fifty-five years to create healthier, more productive work environments. Commercial indoor air quality solutions address far more than comfort – they protect employee health, boost efficiency, and help maintain smooth operations in challenging urban conditions.

Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, where pollutant concentrations often reach two to five times higher levels than outdoors. In commercial settings, these issues intensify with high occupancy, shared spaces, and constant foot traffic.

Why Los Angeles Businesses Face Unique Indoor Air Challenges

Los Angeles boasts persistent outdoor smog, wildfire smoke events, and heavy traffic emissions that infiltrate buildings daily. The South Coast Air Quality Management District notes that the region continues to record the nation’s highest ozone levels despite decades of progress. Aging infrastructure in many commercial properties compounds this with outdated ventilation systems that struggle to keep pace.

Poor indoor air contributes to rising absenteeism, healthcare costs, and reduced focus among teams. Research demonstrates that better indoor air quality sharply enhances cognitive performance and productivity.

If you notice patterns of fatigue or respiratory complaints in your workplace, reach out to Air-Tro for a professional assessment – we tailor solutions that deliver measurable results.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Employees often experience the first signs of indoor air problems. Watch for frequent headaches, persistent coughing, fatigue, dizziness, dry eyes, or worsening allergies and asthma. These symptoms tend to cluster in specific areas of the building or improve when people step outside, pointing directly to indoor sources.

Left unaddressed, these issues lead to higher absenteeism and lower output. Professional testing identifies hidden threats like mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide, and allergens, enabling precise fixes that protect your team.

The Value of Professional Indoor Air Quality Testing

Testing proves essential for commercial spaces. It uncovers risks that routine maintenance misses and provides a clear roadmap for improvements. Early action minimizes health liabilities, sustains productivity, and often reveals opportunities for energy savings through better system efficiency.

Air-Tro’s experienced technicians use advanced tools to evaluate your building’s air, delivering actionable insights with minimal disruption.

Proven Solutions for Commercial Indoor Air Quality

We design customized plans based on your facility’s layout, occupancy, and specific challenges. Our core approaches include:

High-Efficiency Air Filtration Systems

Upgrading to MERV 13 or higher filters captures fine particles effectively. ASHRAE recommends MERV 13 filters for commercial applications because they efficiently remove airborne contaminants while maintaining good airflow. Learn more about how MERV ratings impact air quality in our detailed guide.

Commercial-Grade Air Purification

Standalone or integrated purifiers remove dust, pollen, mold spores, and bacteria. When combined with proper ventilation, they counter the daily influx of outdoor pollutants common in our region. Explore our full range of commercial air purifiers here.

Enhanced Ventilation and Humidity Control

Increasing fresh air exchange with enhanced ventilation while managing moisture prevents buildup of stale air and mold growth. Energy-efficient upgrades often qualify for rebates and reduce long-term operating costs.

UV Germicidal Lights

UV systems installed in HVAC ducts neutralize airborne pathogens. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes germicidal ultraviolet technology as effective for inactivating viruses and bacteria in air streams.

Duct Sealing, Cleaning, and Maintenance

Sealed, clean ducts ensure even distribution of conditioned air and prevent re-circulation of contaminants. Regular maintenance plans keep systems performing at peak levels year-round.
