When the temperatures drop, most households shut their windows, seal up draughts, and turn up the heating. While this makes your home feel warm and cosy, it also traps something far less welcome: stale, polluted indoor air. At EFAM Air, we know that proper ventilation in winter is essential for maintaining a healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient home especially as modern properties become more airtight.
Why Indoor Air Quality Worsens in Winter
During winter, we spend more time indoors, increasing levels of moisture, pollutants, and allergens. Everyday activities such as cooking, showering, and drying laundry release significant amounts of humidity into the air. Without effective ventilation, this moisture becomes trapped, leading to issues such as:
These problems don’t just affect your property, they can impact your health. Poor ventilation is closely linked to respiratory issues, allergies, and general discomfort.
Mechanical Ventilation: The Smart Winter Solution
Opening windows in winter isn’t practical or energy-efficient. That’s where mechanical ventilation systems such as MEV (Mechanical Extract Ventilation) and MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) offer a modern, cost-effective solution.
EFAM Air specialises in designing and installing systems that:
-
Remove stale, humid air at the source
-
Improve indoor air quality
-
Reduce condensation and mould
-
Recover heat to minimise energy loss (MVHR)
-
Support Building Regulations compliance
With an MVHR system, homes can enjoy continuous fresh-air circulation without losing precious heat. For rental properties, new builds, and energy-efficient homes, this is becoming increasingly important.
