How Does Ventilation Affect Temperature in Your Home?

By Angie Lyczkowski | Published: September 27, 2018

How Does Ventilation Affect Temperature in Your Home?You rely on your HVAC system to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home. However, without sufficient ventilation, your home’s interior can become uncomfortably stuffy when it’s closed up tight for efficient heating or cooling.

Why Adequate Ventilation Matters

When air stays trapped in your home, especially in areas like an unconditioned attic or basement, your HVAC equipment can struggle to reach the temperature setting on your thermostat. Venting stale indoor air and bringing in fresher outdoor air can help your HVAC equipment regulate the temperature more efficiently, without any unnecessary wear and strain. Proper air exchange also brings some other important benefits like:

Better humidity control. Eliminating excess moisture from everyday activities like showering, cooking, and laundry can make your living space feel less sticky/clammy during cooling season. Controlled ventilation can also help retain needed moisture during heating season, so your air doesn’t become uncomfortably dry.

Healthier air quality. Exchanging stale for fresh air can help prevent problems like mold growth, and rid your home of airborne allergens and pollutants that cause discomforting symptoms or adverse health effects.

Available Options to Boost Air Exchange

To achieve the ideal amount of air exchange needed to keep your home comfortable throughout the year, it’s best to get personalized advice from a trusted HVAC professional. Oftentimes, it’s recommended that you use a combination of different methods, which might include:

Natural air exchange. Opening up your windows and doors is the simplest way to ventilate your living space with natural airflow. This method is best used in the spring and fall when you aren’t running your heating or cooling equipment, so you’re not wasting energy.

Spot ventilation. Exhaust fans placed in the kitchen, bathrooms or the attic are a good option to remove excess humidity in moisture-prone areas, or vent overheated attic air that can tax your cooling equipment.

Whole-house methods. Ducted ventilator systems like ERVs and HRVs are available that provide balanced, year-round air exchange while minimizing energy or heat losses.
