Improve Airflow with a Dedicated Ventilation System

The ‘V’ in HVAC refers to ventilation, and many properties already utilize some form or other to generate steady airflow. But even if a duct system was installed doesn’t mean it’s as effective as it can be. In fact, poor design and minor damage can impact how well air flows from the supply vent to the return vent. When combined with the firm seal between indoor and outdoor air, this inevitably leads to greater concentrations of contaminants.

Other variables can warrant the installation of a ventilation system, like:

The regional climate and nearby sources of air pollution: Outdoor pollution such as smog can slowly leak into your home through cracks and gaps in doors and windows, making it increasingly difficult to breathe clean air indoors. If you live in the vicinity of industries such as manufacturing or mining, this can worsen the problem. Even the local climate can have an impact; for example, changes in air pressure can confine large amounts of outdoor pollutants in the same geographic area, worsening air quality.

Increased indoor pollutants: Large quantities of dust, VOCs and other particulate matter can be a problem, especially if you don’t have time to handle the necessary amount of cleaning. One way to resolve this is to enhance ventilation, which can help air flow through the property more effectively and prevent dust from accumulating on surfaces. If you’re noticing a lot of dust buildup in your home, it could be evidence that your air filters should be replaced.

Renovation or new construction projects: Substantial renovations can be gratifying, but they might also create new difficulties for the HVAC system. A large change in the amount of square footage, for instance, can result in stubborn hot and cold spots alongside other airflow complications.
