Improve Home Ventilation

Proper ventilation in a St. Michael home can not only be something that makes the house feel more comfortable, but also help those living there feel healthier.

Being able to rid the house of indoor pollutants, cigarette smoke, cooking odors, and moisture can be some of the most beneficial things that can be done to guarantee a healthier and more comfortable house.

But in order to do so, there are specific actions that must be taken in order to improve your St. Michael home ventilation for the fall season.

Kitchen Exhaust Fan

In many kitchens, sources of moisture and odors are present everywhere. By having an HVAC service technician install an exterior-venting exhaust fan, air that has been filled with grease, odors, and smoke can be removed from the kitchen quickly and almost effortlessly.

For many homes, one sure sign this fan may be needed is if the kitchen smells bad and its walls are covered with a greasy film. If this is the case, an HVAC pro can install an exterior-venting exhaust fan that routes the unhealthy air through ductwork to an exterior vent.

Bathroom Ventilation

As most people would agree, the bathroom in any house is definitely one room that could use as much ventilation as possible. In addition to numerous unpleasant odors, the bathroom can also be filled with mold and mildew.

By using a high-powered exhaust fan installed in the bathroom, bad air can then be vented either through the wall or into the ceiling and attic.

This can help prevent many things from occurring, such as paint peeling off the walls or mildew constantly occurring in the shower area. If an exhaust fan has been installed, it and the housing should be cleaned at least twice per year in order to keep in working efficiently.

Foundation Ventilation

Crawlspaces and basements have always been some of the most beloved spots for mold and mildew. To make sure these areas are not always damp or have mildew on their walls, an HVAC technician can install foundation vents for extra ventilation.

This is a job that definitely should not be attempted by the do-it-yourselfer, since it requires using special tools to cut through wood, concrete block, and brick.

Once foundation vents are properly installed, basements or crawlspaces can begin to receive much more fresh air, which will dramatically cut down or eliminate the amount of mold, mildew, and moisture found in these areas.
