When you're remodeling or working on some home improvement projects, it's easy to forget about the simple things. Sure, there are the obvious problems that need to be fixed, like the light over the sink that won't turn on or the broken doorbell that guests try to ring when they arrive only to be greeted by silence.
There are probably a million little things that need to be done that you can spot around the house. Cracks in the walls, a new paint job, don't even get me started on the bathroom ...
When it comes to having a little extra money in the bank to spend on bettering your home, it might be time to look a little closer at the not-so-obvious details. For example, you might not even consider investing in a ventilation system or upgrading to a better one.
What's going to be more beneficial-buying a new chair to replace the wobbly one at your dining room table or getting a new ventilation system?
The latter seems to be the best choice to me. Here's what you can expect to gain from a new ventilation system.
No More Mold
Ventilation systems can help decrease the growth of mold. Think of all the moisture we produce on a day-to-day basis. We take long, hot showers; we boil water for cooking; and we even generate moisture by breathing. This adds up pretty quickly and makes for a very wet house.
A wet house means mold is much more likely to grow and thrive. None of us want that taking place in our homes.
To ensure a dryer house, pick a ventilation system that removes the moisture from the air. Dampness and condensation will be reduced, allowing for a healthier, warmer home.
Speaking of warmer...
We waste so much money on insufficiently heating and cooling our houses every year. By choosing an energy efficient system, the natural heat caused by daylight will be spread throughout your house to regulate the temperature in the cooler months.
With the money you could save on bills by investing in a new ventilation system, you'll be able to tidy up some of your other home-improvement projects as well.
Filtered Air
Ventilation systems offer the positive of purified air, removing toxins, odors, dust, and allergens from your home so you can breathe without the worry of what might be making its way into your lungs.
Filtered air can also aid in sleeping efforts, reduce allergies and asthma symptoms. Can't get a funny smell out of your house? A new ventilation system will get rid of that too.
With all these benefits, which sounds better-a more efficient ventilation system that can improve your quality of life or a paint job that the kids are going to ruin within a few months anyway?
Go for the new ventilation system. When you have a dry, warm house with clean air, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it in the first place.
