Questions and answers on why you should ventilate your home

Ventilation is also needed in winter
Regular and thorough ventilation of indoor air in the home is very important. This is true in the spring and summer, but certainly also in the winter months. Below answer the five most common questions when it comes to ventilating the home, specifically in the winter time.

1. Why is proper ventilation actually important?
