Why Choose Us for Your Healthcare Facility?

When it comes to healthcare, every decision has an impact on patient safety and staff wellbeing. At Mechanical Hygiene Services, we take that responsibility as seriously as you do:

Patient Safety Always First

Our work is designed to reduce exposure to airborne contaminants and create healthier spaces for recovery and care.

Certified Compliance

We follow NADCA and ICRA standards to the letter, so you never have to question whether your systems meet regulatory expectations.

Increasing System Efficiency

Cleaner systems don’t just improve air quality, but they also run more efficiently, last longer, and help keep operating costs under control.

From inspections and testing to duct cleaning, filtration, and maintenance, we handle every component of your ventilation system.

Trusted Experience

For more than 20 years, healthcare facilities across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island have relied on our team to deliver dependable, professional results.

Our Specialized Indoor Air Quality Services

Every healthcare facility is different, but they all share the same priority: protecting patients and staff with safe, clean air. Here are the services we provide:

Air handling unit (AHU) maintenance

Your AHUs are the heart of your HVAC system. We clean coils, blowers, and motors to keep them running smoothly, and perform detailed system diagnostics so you can be confident your equipment is operating at its best.

Filtration Management

Filters are your first line of defense against airborne contaminants. We install and replace HEPA and MERV filters, make sure they’re sealed properly, and provide documentation so you stay compliant with healthcare regulations.

Operating Room & Cleanroom IAQ Control

Air control in these spaces is critical. We service laminar airflow and HEPA systems to maintain sterile conditions and lower the risk of surgical site infections.

Ductwork Cleaning & Sanitization

Over time, dust, mold, and bacteria can build up in ductwork. We remove these contaminants and apply hospital-grade antimicrobial treatments to help safeguard the air your patients and staff breathe.

Indoor Air Quality Testing

We test for CO₂, carbon monoxide, humidity, VOCs, and mold spores, then provide detailed reports so you can clearly see what’s happening in your facility and take action where it’s needed most.

Cooling tower cleaning and maintenance

Cooling towers are vital to system performance but can also be a breeding ground for Legionella if left untreated. We disinfect and maintain towers to keep them safe, efficient, and compliant.

Fire & Smoke Damper Inspections (NFPA 80)

In an emergency, dampers need to perform without hesitation. We provide full inspections and testing to make sure your systems are ready and compliant with NFPA standards.

Exhaust System Cleaning

From bathrooms to kitchens to laundry rooms, exhaust systems play a key role in infection control. We clean and maintain them so your facility has safe, reliable airflow at all times.

Our Commitment to Infection Control: ICRA-Compliant Services

In healthcare environments, infection control isn’t just a priority but a responsibility. That’s why at MHS we strictly follow ICRA protocols on every project, no matter how big or small. Our team understands that the work we do happens in sensitive spaces where patients, staff, and visitors need to feel safe. To protect your facility, we take a layered approach:
  • Containment You Can Trust: We carefully isolate the areas we’re working in so dust and contaminants never leave the work zone.
  • Controlled Airflow : By using negative pressure, we make sure airborne particles don’t travel into occupied areas of your building.
  • HEPA-Filtered Protection: Our equipment is outfitted with hospital-grade HEPA filters that capture particles before they have the chance to spread.
These measures allow us to perform essential cleaning and maintenance while keeping your patients safe, your staff comfortable, and your facility fully compliant. It’s the kind of care and attention to detail you can expect from a team that has been serving New England healthcare facilities for more than two decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should our facility schedule indoor air quality assessments?

At a minimum, once a year. But in high-risk spaces like operating rooms, cleanrooms, or areas with vulnerable populations, more frequent testing is strongly recommended. Regular assessments help catch issues early before they can affect patient outcomes, staff health, or compliance with regulations.

Absolutely. Compliance is not optional in healthcare it is the foundation of what we do. Our team stays current with all state, federal, and industry requirements so you can have peace of mind knowing your facility meets the highest standards. We don’t just meet regulations, we build our processes around them to give you one less thing to worry about.

Not at all. We know how critical it is to keep healthcare environments running smoothly. That’s why we schedule work around your needs, isolate work zones, and use negative pressure and HEPA filtration to prevent disruption. Most of our clients tell us their staff and patients barely notice we’re there.

Fast. We understand that in healthcare, time matters. Our team serves facilities throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and we’re ready to respond when you need us, whether it’s a scheduled service or an unexpected concern that can’t wait.
