When you’re weighing up whether you need to rent air quality monitors or purchase, often clients start with the fundamentals: how long the project will run and how you will fund it.
If the project will last more than about 18 months, buying the kit outright usually works out cheaper. For shorter projects, renting can be easier because the costs stay simple for the finance team and you get quicker sign-off.
If your project is going to continue longer than you originally planned then you can convert to purchase any time and 100 % of rental fees are credited towards the purchase.

We specialise in outdoor air quality monitor rentals and sales, and know how important industry regulation and certification is. AQMesh pods measure pollutants in accordance with performance targets and specifications set by the US EPA and CEN. They are also traceable to internationally recognised standards and certified to the MCERTS indicative standard for PM2.5 and PM10. To provide further confidence that AQMesh is using its quality management system and processes effectively and consistently, we are also ISO9001 certified.
For industrial air quality monitor hire, the minimum rental period is three months.
We custom build the pod depending on your gas sensor and dust requirements. The data contract, SIM contract and maintenance are all included.
You can rent up to 10 pods per order, and we can supply larger fleets on request.
Each project is built within two weeks, and worldwide delivery takes an additional 1 to 5+ days.
Yes, if you decide to buy after you’ve started your rental contract, we can apply 100 % of the rental fees you’ve already paid as credit toward the purchase price.
Every pod is factory-calibrated and monitored remotely using AQ-spec quality-assurance and quality-control procedures.
