Show Pollutants the Door
To save energy and lower utility costs, many homes today are built with fewer outdoor air leaks. But when there isnt enough outdoor air coming in to carry indoor air out, pollutants are left to sit and collect. The solution? Proper ventilationall year round. Here are some ways you can promote circulation:
- Turn on window or attic fans when the weather permits.
- If you have a window air conditioner, keep the vent control open when its running.
- Keep gas and kerosene space heaters well ventilated.
- Run the furnace fan continuously, regardless of temperature.
- Always turn on exhaust fans when cooking or bathing. If you dont have a fan in the kitchen or bathroom, crack a window instead.
