Aurora Air Quality serves military families at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson — both on-base residents and off-base households in the greater Anchorage area — with professional indoor air quality testing and solutions.
Military families stationed at JBER face a distinctive set of indoor air quality challenges. The combination of Alaska's climate, the age of available housing stock, and the realities of frequent moves creates circumstances that make IAQ awareness especially important.
On-base family housing at JBER — much of it built in decades past — can carry the IAQ concerns common to older construction: aging HVAC systems, older insulation, and ventilation designs that predate modern energy codes and IAQ standards. Families moving into these units often have little visibility into the prior maintenance history of their home's air systems.
For families in off-base housing in Chugiak, Eagle River, or Anchorage proper, the same Alaska IAQ concerns apply: radon in the soil, sealed homes that concentrate pollutants over the winter, and the cumulative effects of wildfire smoke during summer months. Knowing your new home's air quality before your family settles in is a practical step we strongly support.
Book an IAQ AuditPCS moves often mean moving into a home with no knowledge of its IAQ history. A quick professional assessment establishes a baseline — and identifies any issues before they affect your family.
Alaska's radon geology, tight-building energy codes, and wildfire smoke seasons combine to create IAQ challenges that many families coming from the lower 48 haven't encountered before.
Children breathe more air relative to their body weight than adults. IAQ pollutants affect them more severely — making IAQ assessment a high-priority step for military families with young children.
Our assessments for JBER community members are thorough, professional, and delivered with clear findings — no jargon, no pressure.
Alaska's geology places the Anchorage area in a radon concern zone. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. For radon testing, contact a certified radon professional — visit epa.gov/radon to find one near JBER.
Older housing units and homes with maintenance gaps can develop moisture problems in walls, crawlspaces, and HVAC systems. We assess humidity levels and air quality to identify problem areas before they become serious.
Adequate fresh-air exchange is fundamental to healthy IAQ. We evaluate mechanical ventilation systems, air handler condition, and identify whether your home has the airflow it needs for Alaska's sealed-home winters.
Volatile organic compounds from building materials, cleaning products, and furnishings accumulate in sealed homes. Our VOC screening identifies elevated chemical concentrations that may cause health symptoms.
Fine particles (PM2.5) from combustion, dust, and wildfire smoke infiltration are a key health concern. We measure particle counts and provide filtration recommendations appropriate for your home's needs.
Alaska homes often swing between over-dry winter air and excessive moisture during shoulder seasons. We assess humidity balance, condensation risk, and recommend practical control solutions.
