How do I improve my home's ventilation?

Good ventilation removes stale air, moisture, and pollutants. Run exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens during and after use. Open windows when weather permits. Make sure your attic has proper soffit and ridge vents. Consider a whole-home ventilation system like an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or heat recovery ventilator (HRV) which exchange indoor and outdoor air while preserving energy.

Why It Matters

Proper ventilation prevents moisture problems, reduces indoor pollutants, and maintains healthy air quality year-round.
