The Importance Of Good Home Ventilation

Maintaining good quality air inside of your Rocklin, California, home is essential. One of the best ways to ensure you have clean and fresh air is by increasing ventilation. Your family will stay healthier, and your home will feel more comfortable. Read more to see why home ventilation is important and how to improve your home’s airflow.

Helps With Moisture Control

It’s important to control moisture. Without proper ventilation, moisture from showers, cooking and laundry can build up on the windows, walls, shower enclosures and even in your clothes. As a result, your house and clothes will begin to smell musty. In the worst of cases, floor boards can start to rot.

You can prevent excess moisture by using exhaust fans in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. In addition, consider having a de-humidifier installed to help remove moisture. As a result, your home will feel less muggy and smell fresher.

Helps Remove Volatile Organic Compounds

You can volatile organic compounds in house paint, air fresheners, cleaning products and even some personal care products. They’re often harmful to breathe and smell unpleasant.

A great way to remove VOCs is by installing an energy recovery ventilator. This handy device removes stale, stuffy air to the outside, and replaces it with fresh pre-conditioned air. The ventilator effectively removes odors and gases caused by VOCs without letting your conditioned air outside.

Helps Reduce Allergy and Asthma Symptoms

If your home lacks good ventilation, that means pollen, contaminants, dirt, dust mites and pet dander gets trapped inside of it. If someone suffers from allergies or asthma, these contaminants and pathogens can trigger an attack.
