5 Reasons Why Home Ventilation is Important

5 Reasons Why Home Ventilation is Important

You may not think about it very much, but home ventilation is actually very important. Most people spend the vast majority of their time indoors, so they are exposed to the air quality within their homes, and that air quality can either positively or negatively impact their health and wellbeing. Continue reading to learn five reasons why home ventilation should be on your list of things to check.

1. There Is Such a Thing as Indoor Air Pollution

Indoor air pollution can result in damaging health effects that are worse than those caused by outdoor air. Opening up the windows as much as possible with items that you can find on the Teal Products website will allow for additional airflow. This increased air circulation will help, but this may not be possible during the colder months of the year. However, with a good home ventilation system in place, you could effectively improve the quality of the air in your home quite easily.

2. You Can Have Too Much Moisture in Your Home
Another reason why home ventilation is important is because the right amount of air circulation will help control how much moisture remains throughout your house. This will ensure that all of the wood throughout your property, as well as your walls and floors, will remain dry and will not end up collecting moisture that could build up and destroy your building’s structural integrity. Inhibiting the moisture will also prevent mold growth, which is harmful to human health in many ways.

3. Remove Unwanted Smells
Unwanted smells could be the result of having pets in your home, they could occur from cooking, and they could happen because of stagnant air that can be created when there’s poor ventilation. Therefore, adequate home ventilation will allow the smells to leave your property, cleaning the air and allowing you to enjoy a fragrance-free space that’s much more of a pleasure to be in, as well as far less embarrassing, especially when you have guests over.

4. Remove Allergens from the Environment
Without enough ventilation throughout your home, you will also be exposed to more allergens that could affect the way that you feel and even the way that you breathe, particularly if you already suffer from respiratory ailments. Getting good air circulation and installing a home air ventilation system throughout your home could help filter out these harmful allergens and keep the air as clean as possible.

5. Filter Out VOCs

Volatile organic compounds, which are commonly referred to as VOCs, are harmful to human health, but these emissions are the result of household furnishings, paints, and chemicals that you can’t help but be exposed to. It is impossible to remove all of the VOCs from your indoor air. However, if you have enough ventilation, you can reduce the concentrations of VOCs in your home and reduce their toxicity.

From allergens and VOCs, to smells and mould, there are many harmful substances that can accumulate in your home if you don’t have a good ventilation system in place.

    One of the things we did when we put in our furnace when we built this home was to find one that extracted VOCs from the air. Best money we ever spent!

    I never have thought about this. I may keep some windows open more often now. I usually keep things shut around here especially in the spring with the pollen and the summer with the heat.

    We live in a new home so it has all the bells and whistles. Humidifier, dehumidifier, and most importantly balanced ventilation. I”m a firm believer that now that houses are so much better sealed mechanical ventilation system is necessary!

    Indoor air ventilation makes a major difference in the air quality. This then affects your mood and focus and attitude. Just from the air! Important to be aware!

    These are some really good tips and I have been more aware of things like this since having my little one. I am glad to read more ideas and tips and will be sharing this with others. Stagnant smelly air is the worst!

    In Spring and Summer we like to open some of our windows for the circualtion of the air. There is nothing better than fresh air.

    These are some great tips! We always have the windows open in the spring and keep ceiling fans on to keep the air circulating.

    Yes! Ventilation is so important. I often bemoan my old house (circa 1800’s), but it definitely has a lot of ventilation because it is not air tight 🙂 I would love something that removes VOC’s though – that would be awesome.

    I very much agree that home ventilation is so important, I remember when my doctor asked me about ventilation availability at home during my pregnancy as it plays a major role in your health. Fresh air really makes a huge difference anytime!
