Ventilation is a critical element in maintaining a healthy and energy-efficient home. Without proper ventilation, harmful pollutants, dampness, and mold can accumulate, negatively impacting both your health and comfort. Improving ventilation is a key step in enhancing your home’s overall energy efficiency and ensuring a safe living environment.
There are several methods we use to improve your home’s ventilation:
TYPICAL INSTALLATION TAKES BETWEEN 1-2 DAYS
Installing insulation improves your home’s energy efficiency by trapping heat inside, but it also reduces natural airflow. This can result in a buildup of moisture, pollutants, and stale air, creating an environment where mold and dampness can flourish. Upgrading your ventilation system ensures that while your home retains heat, it also breathes, maintaining healthy indoor air quality.
By balancing insulation with effective ventilation, you not only enhance your home’s comfort but also protect it from potential damage, ensuring a healthier living environment for you and your family.
Smart Energy Homes were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. Having experienced similar schemes in the past, myself and my wife were very reluctant to agree to having any work done. The energy assessors and surveyors were very informative and answered all of our questions and filled us with confidence in the company and the planned work. The office were also very attentive and met all deadlines that they promised to us. The install was completed to a very high standard and they went above and beyond to accommodate us by moving our furniture. Cannot recommend them enough and it’s so refreshing to deal with such a great company. Thank you, our house has never been so warm!!
