By ventilating your home, you actually replace polluted and humid indoor air with fresh air from outside. This helps you prevent breathing problems, damp problems and mould and that is pleasant for you and your housemates.

Opening the windows

Even if it is not really pleasant to open the windows in the winter, it is still a good idea. It doesn’t have to be for long: if you open the windows on both sides of your home, the polluted air will be driven out in no time and you can close the windows again. If windows are tilted, it is easier to constantly ventilate.

Benefits of a ventilation system

Another option is a mechanical ventilation system that automatically regulates the supply of air. Furthermore, a ventilation system D works with heat recovery, which means that the heat of the extracted indoor air is returned to the drawn in outdoor air. This means heat loss is kept to a minimum and you can enjoy a delightfully warm and healthy home.
