Improve Airflow with a Dedicated Ventilation System

The ‘V’ in HVAC stands for ventilation, and the majority of properties already have some form or other to ensure consistent airflow. But even though a duct system is in place doesn’t mean it’s as efficient as it can be. As a matter of fact, inefficiencies in design and minor gaps can impact how smoothly air flows from the supply vent to the return vent. In tandem with the firm seal between indoor and outdoor air, this eventually leads to greater concentrations of pollutants.

There are additional circumstances that can justify the installation of a ventilation system, such as:

The local climate and nearby causes of air pollution: Outdoor pollution such as smog can slowly leak into your home via cracks and gaps in doors and windows, making it increasingly difficult to breathe clean air indoors. If you are living near industries like manufacturing or mining, this can worsen the problem. Even the local climate can have an impact; for example, air pressure systems can stall a large volume of outdoor contamination in the same geographic area, worsening air quality.

Excess indoor pollutants: Excessive quantities of dust, VOCs and other debris can be a problem, particularly if you lack the time to keep up with cleaning. One way to resolve this is to strengthen ventilation, which can help air flow through the property more effectively and keep dust from coating various surfaces. If you’re noticing excessive dust buildup in your home, it could be indicative that your air filters could stand to be replaced.

Renovation or new construction projects: Significant renovations can be rewarding, but they could also create new difficulties for your HVAC system. Adding a significant amount of square footage, for instance, can leave you with persistent hot and cold spots along with other airflow issues.
