Did you know the air in our homes is unhealthier and more contaminated than the air we breathe outdoors?
Keep your family safe and healthy by reading this article on how to improve the air quality in your home.
In recent years, advances in technology and home insulation have allowed homes to be sealed tighter and tighter. These “leak proof” advances may lower your heat and cooling bills. However, they also seal off your home from fresh air and ventilation.
When your home barely breathes, the moisture naturally created from cooking, laundry, and bathing gets trapped inside. With nowhere to escape, this humid air travels up to your attic. And if not properly ventilated, the air condenses on surfaces to form mold, mildew, and rot.
The key to a healthy home is a “healthy set of lungs” aka proper ventilation. Solar Attic Fans perform this ventilation by pulling fresh clean air into the home. Simultaneously, these fans also push out contaminated air containing heat, moisture, and indoor air pollution. Without this exchange, mold, mildew, and other airborne pollutants recirculate into the home. Then you know what happens next: health risks for you and your family.
Poor air quality remains one of the top five health risks facing Canadians. Most of us sheltered in place at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, it’s important that we make sure we breathe air as healthy and clean as possible. An iSolar Solutions solar attic fan can improve the air quality in your home and comfort remain high year-round.
