Oleksandr Steiskal: Innovations are the driving force of progress that changes our lives, making them more convenient, safe, and efficient
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) are essential for modern life, ensuring comfort, clean air, and functionality in our homes, offices, and commercial spaces. High-quality HVAC systems not only prevent mold and bacteria growth, reduce allergies and breathing problems, but also improve overall well-being. Additionally, they play a crucial role in various industries and sectors where temperature and humidity control is critical. However, even the most advanced system requires maintenance and repairs, which must be carried out exclusively by qualified specialists. Introducing one of the unique specialist of the complex world of HVAC system maintenance, Oleksandr Steiskal – a professional with over 15 years of experience in HVAC and appliance repair, the founder of his own company, “STEISKAL INC,” and creator of the innovative platform MoldGuard AI.
Before founding the company “STEISKAL INC” in Miami in 2022, specializing in the maintenance and repair of air conditioning systems, as well as installation, maintenance, and repair of commercial, restaurant equipment, and household appliances of all complexities, Oleksandr underwent a significant professional journey in the HVAC and appliance repair industries in Ukraine and Denmark. Thanks to his technical skills and expertise, a clear understanding of business operations, marketing, and customer service, the company has been successfully operating to this day, establishing a solid position among its competitors. The outreach strategy and high-quality services provided allow the business to steadily attract an increasing number of clients, including municipal services, fire departments, civilian and cargo airports, restaurant chains, factories, shops, office buildings, residential complexes, and private homeowners.
As a true professional and member of the largest American HVAC associations, Oleksandr strives to stay on top of trends, constantly exploring innovations in the industry, especially concerning the application of cutting-edge technologies and artificial intelligence.
It is well-known that the U.S. government encourages businesses to incorporate AI in all possible areas of activity, and the HVAC sector is no exception. Technological solutions in this field are fundamentally important for both commercial and non-commercial spaces, as they significantly improve indoor air quality, positively impacting comfort, safety, and the health of individuals. Shifting his focus in this direction, the entrepreneur began working with advanced technologies and AI to tackle the issue of mold formation in air conditioning systems, a problem he frequently encounters in his professional work. The idea was to create an automated platform that works in seamless connection with an air ionization device (for air purification from mold spores), ultraviolet lamps (UV Light), and a module with various sensors for recording air indicators (humidity, temperature, CO2, O2, pollutants, and mold presence).
Currently, intensive work is underway to implement and launch a project that has become a new area of activity for the company “STEISKAL INC”.
The MoldGuard AI platform is designed for comprehensive microclimate management in enclosed spaces and is intended for owners of residential and commercial properties, medical and educational institutions, manufacturing enterprises, and other organizations seeking to improve air quality, enhance safety, and increase energy efficiency in their buildings.
The platform offers numerous clear advantages. Thanks to its integration with the internet, users will be able to monitor the status of HVAC systems and track key parameters such as humidity, temperature, air quality, and operating time. For user convenience, the platform includes the ability to automate adjustments to these and other parameters, significantly simplifying system management. Smart sensors, filtration systems, a mold neutralization device, and ultraviolet lamps, working in conjunction with the platform, create a fully automated ecosystem.
One of the additional aspects of the innovative MoldGuard AI project is its fire prevention feature. The platform is capable of detecting a sudden rise in temperature and, through built-in sensors, monitoring increases in CO2 levels and air pollution. In case of a fire threat, the artificial intelligence automatically alerts the user with an emergency notification (ALERT message) first in their app and then by sending an SMS message to their mobile phone. If there is no response within 1 minute, AI will automatically notify the emergency contact specified by the user in the settings via SMS.
To support and communicate with users, the platform has an AI chatbot. It operates based on AI, so it can understand and process natural speech, as well as autonomously generate responses. The virtual assistant can answer questions about the HVAC system’s status, provide recommendations, and assist with managing settings.
The main goals, tasks, and features of the innovative MoldGuard AI platform highlight its absolute uniqueness. It ushers in a new era of climate control, combining cutting-edge technologies and AI to create safe, comfortable, and eco-friendly environments.
The launch of the project will bring significant benefits to people and, in the long term, help solve the mold problem in indoor spaces, which is currently highly relevant in the United States. According to official data, mold causes the country to lose about $10 billion annually due to building repair costs and the treatment of related diseases. The implementation of the MoldGuard AI platform could reduce these expenses by 30-50%, decreasing the need for expensive repairs and medical services. Moreover, the humidity and ventilation monitoring feature will improve the overall energy efficiency of buildings by 10-15%, lowering utility bills and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
The launch of this innovative project will also lead to the creation of new jobs, contributing to the further development of “STEISKAL INC” and the rise of the American economy. According to the company’s business plan, the project is expected to create 36 jobs in the fields of technology development, construction, indoor climate monitoring, and maintenance within the first few years. Furthermore, the innovative solution will enable the company to capture up to 5% of the market for indoor monitoring solutions and mold prevention technologies, which has a total market size of over $50 billion. This will provide significant opportunities for economic growth for “STEISKAL INC”.
Focused, analytical, and technically talented, Oleksandr Steiskal is confidently shaping the company’s future in the face of fierce competition in the HVAC services market and the growing interest in environmental issues. Relying on cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence, the entrepreneur is committed to further scaling his business, which brings obvious benefits to American society and the U.S. economy.
