Traditional Workflow
- 1-hour inspection
- 2–3 hours writing reports
- Deliver report later
For HVAC Professionals
Hidden HVAC Problems. Clear Service Opportunities.
Suspected mold, accumulated dust, moisture problems, and air leaks can go unnoticed inside HVAC systems—leaving homeowners unaware of conditions that need attention.
IAQ Health training helps technicians find these problems. Mold Sentinel helps document them in clear pictorial reports, so homeowners can understand what was found and make informed decisions about cleaning, repairs, replacement, and prevention.
Win homeowner confidence. Earn corrective work. Build lasting client relationships.

The IAQ Health Method
How an IAQ Health Inspection Works
A consistent, visual workflow from the first walkthrough to the final report. Built for HVAC professionals in the field.
01Inspect
Return, supplies, AHU, plenums, air ducts. A standardized inspection protocol for residential HVAC systems: moisture, filter bypass, duct design, suspect microbial growth, and testing.
- 02
Document
Using the Mold Sentinel app, technicians document photos, observations, and recommendations onsite. AI assists with report generation, and the technician reviews and approves the homeowner report before delivery.
03Analyze
Mold samples are shipped to an independent, accredited laboratory for analysis. AI-assisted chain-of-custody form and pre-labeled overnight shipping simplify dispatch and support rapid laboratory turnaround.
- 04
Report
Two reports from one inspection: first, a homeowner-friendly Mold Sentinel report; then, a custom HVAC Mold Analysis Report combining the inspection findings with independent laboratory results for technician review and delivery.
For HVAC Professionals
Find More. Show Why It Matters. Earn the Work.
IAQ Health training and Mold Sentinel help you look beyond the coil and drain pan—into plenums, ductwork, boots, and supply registers.
Find overlooked problems.
Learn to recognize suspected microbial growth, moisture issues, air leaks, and dust buildup throughout the HVAC system.
Help homeowners see what you see.
Use Mold Sentinel to generate a professional pictorial report from your inspection photos and observations. Review and approve the report, then give homeowners clear findings and recommended next steps.
Connect findings to appropriate services.
Documented conditions can reveal the need for:
- Coil cleaning and drainage corrections
- Plenum upgrades and replacement
- Air duct replacement and insulation improvements
- Duct, boot, and register air sealing
- Advanced diagnostics and laboratory testing
- Coil UV-C lights and preventive maintenance
Greater value from each service visit.
Combine inspection, clear documentation, corrective work, and prevention to help homeowners make informed decisions while creating opportunities for additional service and ongoing maintenance.
Industry Guidance
What Industry Authorities Say About HVAC Cleanliness and Mold
The IAQH inspection method lines up with guidance from the organizations that set HVAC and indoor air standards.
ASHRAE
Sets HVAC design and ventilation standards
ASHRAE recognizes that moisture and accumulated dust can support mold and other microbial growth inside HVAC systems. Its guidance emphasizes moisture control, effective filtration, proper drainage, and access for inspection and cleaning.
Source: ASHRAE position documentsU.S. EPA
Federal environmental agency
EPA recognizes that moisture in HVAC systems can support mold growth and that spores may enter living spaces. Its guidance calls for correcting the underlying moisture problem, considering cleaning where substantial visible mold is present, and replacing wet or moldy duct insulation.
Source: EPA's guidance on air duct cleaningNADCA
HVAC cleaning industry association
NADCA recognizes that moisture in HVAC systems can support mold growth. Its guidance emphasizes correcting moisture problems, physically removing contamination, cleaning the entire system rather than ducts alone, and verifying cleanliness.

When and Why to Test for Mold
Confirm suspected mold
Distinguish mold from look-alike material and investigate evidence of growth within HVAC components.
Investigate sources and pathways
Compare material entering return ducts, suspect growth inside the system and findings at supply outlets to help understand potential movement into living spaces.
Support a forensic investigation
Document findings and inform further investigation or corrective work, including when occupants have mold-related health concerns.
Testing complements inspection and moisture assessment. Surface samples do not prove airborne release, and environmental results do not diagnose illness or establish its cause.
