3 Reasons to Ventilate Your Home
There’s no denying that fresh air is essential to humans – we need it to survive. In an ideal world, we would be outside all day long breathing in clean, pure air. Unfortunately, this is not the case. We often have to be inside in poorly ventilated buildings, which can be detrimental to our health. It is important to have well-ventilated rooms at home and in the workplace. So what are the benefits of home ventilation systems?
Air flow & Health Benefits
A Home ventilation system can stop Indoor air pollution which is the common cause of a number of health problems including asthma, allergies, rashes, and sinusitis. All of which can be avoided with the installation of a good ventilation system.
Mould & Condensation
Condensation can lead to mould and rotten surfaces – something you want to avoid. Damp conditions and condensation can cause health issues such as allergic reactions and respiratory problems for many people. Good ventilation will help reduce these risks.
Save on your power bills
Dry air requires less energy to heat than damp air. A well ventilated home will be drier and therefore require less energy to heat, reducing your home power bill.
