Why Ventilation?
Attic
With all the insulation installed in our attics today to save on energy costs, ventilation has become essential to protect your attic and help control temperature in your home. In the winter, heat causes moisture to form which can damage insulation and contribute to the formation of ice dams. In the summer, excessive heat can damage the wood and dry rot your shingles.
Temperature Control
Your attic temperature is about 40% higher than the rest of your house. In the summer, this heat stays trapped in your attic and pushes down into the house, increasing the interior temperature of your home, making your air conditioning work harder. In the winter, the cold pushes down into your home, decreasing the interior temperature and requiring your heating system to work harder. Ventilation with thermostat controls can be easily installed in most attics which can bring the temperature down as low as 90°. Whether you have AC or not, ventilation is a great way to control the temperature of your home, resulting in increased comfort and decreased energy costs.
Kitchen
Consider ventilation throughout the entire kitchen, especially if you have an open floor plan design. Good ventilation increases comfort by expelling stale cooking odors from your kitchen, preventing them from lingering in your home. When you cook, thin layers of cooking grease tend to coat everything. Ventilation will help keep your kitchen clean and sanitary.
Garage
If you enjoy working in your garage in the summer, proper ventilation will help to keep it cool. The sun beats in on a hot summer day heating up everything metal, including your power equipment, yard tools and cars. In the case of an attached garage all of this additional heat will cause the interior temperature of your home to rise. A properly vented garage will keep your home comfortable all day long while helping to reduce air conditioning costs.
Bathroom & Basement
Good ventilation in your bathroom and basement will keep mold and mildew from forming, resulting in cleaner and more sanitary areas.
Allergies
Ventilation in your home helps reduce allergy triggers (such as animal hair and dander) by moving stale air out and fresh air in, improving your indoor air quality. For increased effectiveness combine ventilation with ceiling fans that will push the air toward the vents.
Smokers
Some homes have designated smoking or cigar rooms. It's inexpensive to vent these areas, keeping the paint unstained and the odors from lingering and spreading throughout the rest of your home.
