Home Clear Air

Just like human being, houses will present symptoms that help us diagnose when an appropriate mechanical ventilation system is needed. The main problems to diagnose are excess infiltration (through walls or ducts), inadequate air exchange (too little ventilation), and excess moisture.

Often, excess moisture speaks for itself. If you see condensation, mold, or excessive ice build-up, you know you have a problem. (See the section “Control moisture.”)

When they first move in, home owners tend to enjoy their pleasant new dwelling, yet quite often by the second year they experience phenomena such as excess moisture, musty moldy odors, and allergic reactions to indoor air contaminants. As the seasons change, humidity issues that lead to damp uncomfortable basements & crawlspaces, or even window condensation upstairs, can become apparent.

Whether you are looking to increase your property's appraisal value with a view to a sale, or you just want to improve your living space, getting started on home improvements can be a daunting prospect.
