Measured Air
Salt Lake City · Indoor air consulting

When Salt Lake air gets bad, your home should get better.

From winter inversions to wildfire smoke, outdoor air in the Salt Lake Valley can change quickly. We measure what's happening inside your home, find where pollution gets in, and recommend the right mix of filtration, sealing, ventilation and monitoring for your space.

Live · Salt Lake Valley US AQI
Outdoor air Good

Indoor, measured Untested

Clean air inside is a choice, not a forecast. Until you measure it, the number that matters most is a question mark.

Outdoor air quality: Good. US Air Quality Index 46.
Clean air is a system, not a product

Most homes don't need another purifier in the corner. They need a clear plan.

Measured Air looks at the full picture of how air moves through your home, then turns it into a simple, prioritized plan.

  1. How outdoor pollution enters your home

  2. How quickly indoor particles build up or clear out

  3. Whether your filters are actually doing enough

  4. How CO₂ changes overnight or in closed rooms

  5. Whether fans, exhaust, and leaky attic paths help or hurt

  6. Whether you need better filtration, sealing, ventilation, or all three

Built for Salt Lake City homes

Designed for the way homes here actually work.

Salt Lake homes share a unique mix of air-quality challenges. We help you build a home that performs better on bad-air days, especially when opening the windows isn't an option.

What we measure

We use data to make practical recommendations, not to scare you with numbers.

Depending on your home and goals, we can monitor:

  • PM2.5

    Fine particles from smoke, pollution, and dust

  • CO₂

    Carbon dioxide in bedrooms and offices

  • Temp · RH

    Temperature and relative humidity

  • Radon

    Long-term radon exposure, with mitigation referrals

  • Filtration

    Whether your filters are actually performing

  • Airflow

    Room-by-room air movement

  • Pressure

    Effects of exhaust fans, dryers, and fireplaces

  • Leakage

    Paths pulling in attic, basement, garage, or outdoor air

The Home Air Assessment

A clear picture of your home's air, and a plan to improve it.

  1. Walkthrough

    We inspect filtration, ventilation, exhaust and whole-house fans, heating and cooling systems, likely leakage paths, and indoor pollution sources.

  2. Monitoring

    We place indoor monitors in key rooms and compare them against outdoor conditions, showing what's actually happening during normal life rather than a one-time visit.

  3. Diagnostics

    Where useful, we test air leakage, pressure relationships, exhaust-fan effects, and how quickly filtration can clean a room.

  4. Clean-air plan

    You receive a prioritized report with recommended upgrades, product sizing, filter guidance, bad-air-day settings, and next steps.

  5. Verification

    After changes are made, we re-check the data to confirm your home is genuinely performing better.

Common recommendations

We measure first, then recommend.

Every home is different, but improvements often include these. No one-size-fits-all IAQ advice.

  • Correctly sized room filtration for bedrooms and living spaces
  • MERV 13 filter upgrades where the system can handle them
  • High-surface-area filter cabinets or custom recirculating filtration
  • Whole-house fan sealing or better use protocols
  • Attic and basement air-sealing priorities
  • Outdoor-air monitoring for inversion and smoke decisions
  • Bedroom CO₂ monitoring and ventilation planning
  • Radon testing and mitigation referrals
  • Kitchen and bath exhaust improvements
  • A simple "Smoke Mode" or "Inversion Mode" plan for your home

A better furnace filter can't clean a house with no ducts.

Many Salt Lake homes don't have conventional forced air. We design filtration strategies for homes with:

Bad-air-day planning

When the air outside is bad, your home needs a different operating mode.

We build you a simple, written protocol for the two events that matter most here.

Smoke Mode

For wildfire-smoke events: seal up, run the right purifiers, and turn a bedroom or two into clean-air rooms.

Inversion Mode

For winter inversions: know when to keep windows closed, when not to run the whole-house fan, and how to read outdoor data.

  • When to close windows, and when not to use the whole-house fan
  • Which purifiers to run, in which rooms, at what speed
  • Which rooms should become clean-air rooms
  • When to replace filters during an event
  • How to use outdoor air data to make decisions
  • How to reduce indoor particle sources during bad-air days
Who this is for

Measured Air is a good fit if…

  • You're concerned about inversions or wildfire smoke
  • There are kids, older adults, asthma, or allergies in the home
  • You live in an older Salt Lake home
  • You have mini splits, radiators, or no central air
  • You're not sure which purifier or filter setup is right
  • You want data before spending on HVAC or filtration upgrades
  • You want a practical plan, not a sales pitch
What you get

Every assessment includes

  • Home IAQ walkthrough
  • Indoor/outdoor monitoring
  • Filtration & purifier sizing
  • Ventilation & exhaust review
  • Whole-house fan guidance
  • Room-by-room priorities
  • Bad-air-day protocol
  • Written report & next steps

Plus optional contractor-ready scope for HVAC, electrical, radon, or air-sealing work.

Independent guidance

We're not here to sell you a proprietary filter subscription or one magic device. We recommend standard, serviceable, homeowner-friendly solutions you can maintain over time. When licensed trades are needed, we help define the scope and coordinate with qualified contractors.

Make your home a clean-air refuge

Salt Lake air can be unpredictable. Your indoor air doesn't have to be.

Measure what's happening, fix what matters, and know your home is ready before the next inversion rolls in.
