Ventilation
Benefits of a ventilation system
A ventilation system helps manage the airflow in your household, circulating it through the use of ducts and fans, so you have air when and where you want.
You spend a large portion of your day indoors so it is particularly important for a home to have good ventilation.
Air Regulation With the use of a ventilation system, you have better control over airflow in your household. Without such a system, airflow is dependent on the differences in pressure inside and outside the household. During the winter, you can be exposed to too much fresh air, making it uncomfortable and raising heating bills. During the summer you are likely not to get enough fresh air. Air may leak into your home from undesirable areas, such as from the garage.
Air Quality Research has shown that indoor air is often more polluted than outside air. A ventilation system improves the quality of indoor air by getting rid of household pollutants. They help with moisture that can lead to the growth of mold. A ventilation system also filters and conditions the air from outside that enters your home.
Health Benefits Research also shows that indoor air pollution and stale air can cause health problems that range from allergies, headaches, rashes and respiratory ailments, such as asthma and sinusitis. A good ventilation system reduces indoor pollutants, reducing the likelihood of these occurrences.
