One way that you can provide your home with better ventilation is by investing in a ventilation control system. If you have a forced air HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system, then a ventilation system will be compatible with your home. You can simply attach it to an exterior wall of your home to allow fresh air to be cycled inside.
How does a ventilation system work? A ventilation system works by reading both the exterior temperature and the interior humidity, automatically cycling fresh air into your home when needed in order to maintain the correct balance inside. It also makes use of a timer in order to manage the amount of air that is let into your home at a more efficient rate, leading to lower energy costs. The motorized damper will let air into your home or block its entry, depending on whether your home currently needs it. Many ventilation control systems allow user customization as well, allowing you to decide when fresh air is cycled into your home. A ventilation control system is a great way to keep your indoor air quality fresh and comfortable during the winter months.
