Benefits of Good Home Ventilation

While we need to seal our homes properly to reduce wasteful loss of heating and cooling, we still need good ventilation. Breathing fresh air is necessary to good health, so if our homes are not properly ventilated our health could easily be adversely affected.

Poor ventilation can cause a build up of allergens, mould and smoke- if you are a smoker or have a smoky fireplace. These and many other allergens can build up and cause respiratory problems for those who suffer from hayfever or asthma. Many people are allergic to dust mites that thrive in a humid climate, so proper ventilation is necessary to eliminate these pests.

Mould can ruin paintwork, fabrics such as curtains and sofas and even make a home inhabitable if it gets really bad. Mildew and rot can also be the results of high humidity levels.

Humidity levels that are too low can also cause problems. Dry, itchy skin or nose and throat irritation can be caused by low humidity. Timber can dry out and crack due to low humidity; that means that your floor may be noisy when you walk on it. If you have a problem with static electricity, it could be that the humidity levels in your home are too low.
