Home Ventilation Benefits

Your health is important all year round, not just in the event of seasonal allergies or airborne viruses. Inadequate ventilation can lead to the onset of lung conditions such as Asthma, or the build up condensation which can lead to damp which aside from the health implications that it can create, also can spread into the walls and cavities, compromising the structural integrity of your home. If you cook often, do lots of washing and dry clothes in the house, this is even more important for you.  There are many ways to ventilate your home, and since the pandemic the topic of how best to ventilate your home has never been more important with the potential of future airborne diseases. With that in mind, we have developed a list of the key benefits of ventilation which shows just how necessary it is to ensure that your home has optimal ventilation. But there are many other reasons to! From reducing your household energy bills which has never been so important with the cost of living crisis, to improving your overall health, good ventilation has so many effects. So what are they?

First we need to note that ventilation is not just a case of opening your windows. This of course helps, but we are talking about specialist windows with trickle vents, extractor fans in any wet rooms, ensuring there are no structural gaps such as underneath doorways, letterbox window frames, sub floor vents or even floorboards that can let in cold air, or pollen.

1) Reduces the Risk of Airborne Viruses and Bacteria

If you suffer from Hay fever or allergies then you may dread opening your windows in summertime. Installing quality windows with trickle vents can still allow cool air into your home, which in the event of another worldwide pandemic can provide you with peace of mind as well as a cooler home. Tested by our quality experts, we can guarantee windows with excellent ventilation. These trickle vents also remove any stale air, ensuring a steady flow of fresh, cool air.

2) Positively Impacts Your Health

Your health is important all year round, not just in the event of seasonal allergies or airborne viruses. Inadequate ventilation can lead to the onset of lung conditions such as Asthma, or the build up condensation which can lead to damp which aside from the health implications that it can create, also can spread into the walls and cavities, compromising the structural integrity of your home. If you cook often, do lots of washing and dry clothes in the house, this is even more important for you. 

3) Your Home Will Smell Better

Introducing a regular flow of fresh air will help to remove any odours from cooking smells, pets or smoking. This also applies to preventing external smells from chemicals, pesticides, solvents, carbon monoxide or smoke from BBQ’s and fires from entering your home.

4) Your State of Wellbeing Will Improve

Peace of mind from knowing that you have protected yourself and your loved ones from an array of diseases, natural or man made chemicals and external smells can really take a massive load off of your shoulders. Speaking of which….

5) Your Home Will Become More Energy Efficient and Your Bills Will Lower

Ensuring that there are no draughts in your home to allow the escape of warm air, or contrastingly allowing cool air to escape in heat waves will reduce the costs of your heating and if you have it, air conditioning. With the current rise in inflation and rising energy bills that could be doubled by the spring of 2023, can you really afford not to invest in good ventilation? Without spending, Britain will continue on its dangerous path towards a recession where prices could rise even more exponentially, so now may be the best time.

6) You Can Prepare For The Future

Many of us suffered last month as temperatures soared over 40°, and whilst we would advise you to close your windows during a heatwave you can ensure that excess heat does not creep its way into your home, your source of refuge from it. As temperatures like this could become more and more common in summer in Britain by 2050, you can spread the cost of improving your home’s ventilation by investing now. Also, think about how more comfortable you will feel without those chilly breezes at night-time or during winter!
