When it comes to your home, the last words you want to use to describe it are ‘stuffy’ and ‘stale’. To avoid those sorts of descriptive nightmares, you need to make sure you home is open to all the breeze the outside has to offer. In order to achieve that, it doesn’t just mean opening a window or two. To really create an airy abode and improve your home’s ventilation, find out what simple changes you can make today for a cooler tomorrow.
It starts from the top
One of the most effective ways to improve your home’s ventilation is to install roof vents. Roof ventilation is an environmentally friendly and cost effective way to bring the breeze back to your home. Roof vents are simple to install and opting for a solar option will mean you only need a handful to achieve a significant improvement to the air flow in your home. They are also a fantastic way to help reduce moisture that can cause serious damage to your roof cavity. Roof vents are a cost effective alternative to air conditioning that can seriously increase air flow.
Find a few fans of air
Another simple yet effective way to increase airflow in your home is to install ceiling fans. Depending on your space and budget, ceiling fans can be a great investment in both air flow and the value of your property. Ceiling fans will help keep an even circulation of air throughout your entire home, instead of having a concentration in one area. If you are particularly short of space, but still want to consider a fan option, look at the possibility of a fan and light combination.
Change the filter
No, we’re not talking about snapping your home and adding a beautiful filter for Instagram. It refers to regularly changing the filter in your air conditioner. Regular changing or cleaning of your filter will help ensure the air circulating your home is as clean as it can be. The process is simple enough too, all you have to do is soak the filter for 5-10 minutes in soapy water and allow to dry. Keeping a filter clean will help keep the air clean and your home protected from germs and bacteria.
Find your green thumb
One of the more quick and easy ways to improve your homes air ventilation is to add a few new additions to your home. Not kids, but indoors plants instead. Plants are a natural solution to any air ventilation problem. Plants absorb chemicals and contaminants from the air naturally and help create a cleaner air flow in your home. They also come with the added benefit of making the place look a little more appealing as well. There is always something charming about a home with a touch of greenery.
Keep the moisture out
Moisture and dampness only contribute to one thing – mould and bacteria. Instead of drying clothes inside, put them outside to dry. Keep the interior of your home free from any damp concentrations like towels or water spills. Regularly clean out your fridge and other water hotspots. By eliminating any opportunities for mould to proliferate you will instantly make the air ventilation in your home better.
Air ventilation is not something that immediately concerns most people. A contributing factor to that is probably that you can see the air around you. The difference between clean and free flowing air is very noticeable after time. Instead of allowing your health to be at risk, consider implementing a few of these tips to improve the air ventilation in your home.
