Why ventilate your home?

Great home ventilation is essential for managing air quality and eliminating excess condensation from your home. Having a draughty home is not the same as having sufficient ventilation. As houses get more airtight, they become easier to heat, but great ventilation is nevertheless important to prevent inside air from getting musty and damp.

Home ventilation works by bringing in fresh/ dry air from your ceiling space to replace the damp air in your home. This results in a dryer home which is easier, and cheaper to heat. Installing a home ventilation system will also help remove weepy windows, as well as reduce harmful mold build up.
