Company History

Who We Are

AQS Georgia, LLC — operating as Air Quality Systems — was founded with a singular focus: delivering verifiable, standards-compliant HVAC hygiene services to commercial and residential clients across Georgia and the Southeastern United States.

From our earliest days servicing Atlanta-area office buildings, we have grown into a 37-person operation covering hospitals, schools, industrial warehouses, government facilities, and private residences. Every project we undertake is guided by NADCA's ACR standards — the gold standard for air duct and HVAC system cleanliness.

We recognized early that most HVAC cleaning contractors operated without rigorous standards. We built AQS Georgia to be different: certified, documented, and accountable. Every technician is trained in Total Source Removal methodology. Every project is photographically documented before and after.

Today, we serve clients ranging from single-family homeowners to regional healthcare systems — delivering the same level of professionalism and technical rigor regardless of project scale.

Our Mission

“To improve the health, efficiency, and longevity of HVAC systems through certified, transparent, and technology-driven hygiene services — protecting the air quality of every space we service.”
