How to choose the right IAQ monitor depends on your main focus

Let's compare it

Which air quality monitor should you choose?

There are many types of indoor air quality monitors on the market, with significant differences in price, appearance, performance, lifetime, etc. How to choose a monitor that meets the application requirements and brings sustainable benefits is difficult for many non-professional customers to distinguish and determine.

The following is a summary comparison of real-time air monitors. Help you understand and make decisions.

There are two types of such products on the market: to B monitors in commercial grade and to C monitors in home level. When making a choice, the following key factors should be considered.

Application and purposes, manufacturer and brand reputation, core technology and sensor characteristics, calibration conditions and data accuracy, price, monitoring parameters and communication interfaces, product certification, support and service.

A.Brands

Tongdy brand (provides air monitors in commercial grade):

Located in Beijing China, Tongdy is a professional and high-tech company in air sensing and HVAC, which has been dedicated to air quality monitoring products and solutions for 18 years, and is focusing on commercial-grade air monitors that emphasize technical expertise and quality.

With core technologies and algorithms and many international certifications Tongdy's air monitors have been widely exported to Europe, North America, Oceania, the Gulf region, and Southeast Asia, and have collaborated with many global partners.

Other brands in commercial grade monitors:

Many brands do not have long-term accumulation of air sensing monitoring, and the accuracy and reliability of data depend on the individual sensors themselves.Their technology and experience are difficult to support reliable sensor data.

Home grade monitors:

Most brands are new companies and lack experience in low concentration gas sensor monitoring and data processing technology. Their main focus is on cost and fast production, as long as customers can take a brief look at the data without storing or analyzing it.

B.Core Technology

Tongdy Brand:

Has mature experience in hardware design related to power supply, electromagnetic interference, airflow organization, and sensor characteristics. Tongdy has core technologies such as environmental impact measurement compensation algorithms and constant air volume control. Solved the issues of batch and variability in monitors, extending the lifespan of monitors.

Other Commercial Brands:

Lack sensor technology accumulation and calibration methods as well as  conditions, leading to large data deviations. There are significant differences in sensor readings between batches and individual sensors, making it difficult to ensure reliable and accurate data.

The sensors have a short lifespan and require frequent replacement.

Home Grade Brands:

Most sensors are selected based on price, with readings output directly without calibration or compensation. The reliability and consistency of the data are poor, and the credibility is low. Not applied for long-term data gathering and analysis.

C.Application Scenarios

Commercial Scenarios:

Office buildings, commercial buildings, airports, shopping centers, schools, and other green and healthy buildings and spaces.

Home Scenarios:

Personal users or home systems.

D.Sopprt and Service

Tongdy:

 Provides remote support and maintenance services via internet, including configuration, calibration, software upgrades, and fault diagnosis. The built-in sensing module is replaceable.

Other Commercial Brands:

Correction and maintenance service require the monitor to be sent back for repair, or sensor module replaced propobly in local. High after-sales service costs and poor timeliness.

Home Grade Brands:

Had to repair or replace whole monitor. No other service possible.
