Even if you have the cleanest air thanks to a well-functioning HVAC system, opening your windows and letting fresh air in is still necessary. In this post, Twin Cities Siding and Roofing explains why you should open your windows periodically.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Opening your windows lets fresh air circulate throughout your home. This helps reduce allergens, dust, chemicals and other pollutants your HVAC filters or air purifiers might not be able to catch. Opening your windows also keeps indoor humidity in check. More importantly, bringing in fresh air helps improve overall wellness.
Energy Efficiency
When you live in this part of the United States, you can expect a handful of summer days when you’ll no longer rely on your air conditioner to keep your home comfortable. By opening your windows at the right time of the day, you can keep your living spaces cool. Ideally, you’ll want to do this in the evenings, when temperature and humidity levels drop. Before going to sleep, however, make sure to turn your HVAC system back on and close your windows for security reasons.
Enhanced Comfort
Open windows reduce humidity and improve comfort through natural air circulation. You won’t feel stuffy or sticky indoors with fresh air entering your home and turning on the fans to let air get around faster.
Invest in New Windows!
You can enjoy the many benefits of passive ventilation for your home as long as you have windows that are functioning as intended. However, if some of them are becoming too hard to open and close, it might mean they have long-term issues that repairs can’t fix. In this regard, you’ll want to invest in replacement windows.
