Ways to Improve Your Home’s Ventilation

You know you need to keep your air from getting stale in your Chapel Hill, North Carolina, home. As a result, your family will breathe easier and feel more comfortable. Here are five ways to improve your home’s ventilation:

Install Exhaust Fans

Install exhaust fans that vent to the outside in your bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen. Moisture and stale air tend to build up quickly in these areas. Exhaust fans release it, improving your indoor air quality and helping prevent the problems that often accompany moisture buildup.

Open the Windows

Weather permitting, opening your windows is a great way to ventilate your home. Provided that pollen levels are low and other outdoor pollutants aren’t an issue, opening just a few windows will supply you with a blast of fresh air that’ll help rid your home of excess moisture and other indoor air pollutants.

Invest In a Whole-Home Ventilation System

A professionally installed whole-home ventilation system provides you with a well-ventilated home regardless of the weather. These mechanical devices remove indoor air pollutants and stale air from your home and replace it with fresh, clean air. They require little maintenance after installation and help create a healthy living environment for you and your family.

Install an Attic Vent

If you don’t already have one, install an attic vent. Without proper attic ventilation, stale air becomes trapped and can penetrate the attic floor, affecting your entire home. An attic vent will allow stale air to escape outside. In addition, an attic fan will help circulate the air, which is also helpful for your home’s ventilation.

Use Ceiling and Box Fans

Using ceiling and box fans is a simple, affordable way to improve your home’s circulation and ventilation. Since fans also make your home feel cooler, you’re likely to run your HVAC system less, which can really drive down your utility bills.
