Helpful Hints
There are a number of ways to control ventilation and humidity in a home. Here are a few examples :
- In the winter, remove the inner screen from your window. Air will circulate more freely around the glass and prevent condensation, especially in the lower corners. If you have drapes or curtains on your windows, open them regularly.
- Warm air from the dryer should be vented outside.
- When preparing meals, turn on your range exhaust fan to help control humidity. The resulting loss in heat is marginal.
- When taking a shower or bath, turn on the bathroom fan. If you don’t have a bathroom fan, open the bathroom door to improve air circulation.
