Blue Ridge Heating & Air Owners Launch AirGuard: Precision Mold Detection Technology Built on Decades of Engineering Expertise

SIMPSONVILLE, SC – Ben and Chris, the owners of Blue Ridge Heating & Air and career engineers, have announced the launch of AirGuard, a new technology for indoor mold detection.

With over 20 years of engineering experience, the owners transitioned to the HVAC industry and opened Blue Ridge Heating & Air. Following the acquisition of Stews Heating and Air in Brevard, they rebranded to the current name, successfully retaining an employee and customer base that has been established since the 1990s. Since then, they have expanded with a Greenville location, becoming a leading provider of heating and cooling solutions across Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina.

The development of AirGuard is a direct extension of this commitment to treating every home as a sanctuary. The device monitors the indoor environment for predictive conditions that lead to mold growth. Additionally, the technology is designed to detect specific mold species, such as Penicillium and Aspergillus, by identifying the unique Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (mVOCs)—the specific gases that these molds release.

By detecting these unique gas signatures, AirGuard provides homeowners with a professional-grade tool to identify mold activity that may not be visible to the naked eye. It is also a great predictive tool that measures your homes environmental conditions that may grow mold.
