Every veteran homeowner knows that garage ventilation is crucial. Poorly ventilated garages can cause a wide variety of problems.

An unventilated garage can damage your health, your equipment, or supplies, cost you thousands in repairs and leave you feeling hot and uncomfortable during the summer.

To prevent these problems, you need to invest a little time into ventilating your garage. Luckily, there are many ways to ventilate; however, some options are better than others. If you’ve got a sealed, unventilated garage, read this article to learn the best way to ventilate your garage.

Your garage is not just a secure spot to park your vehicles — it’s a multipurpose space where you can store equipment and tools, too. It could even become a workshop if you’re into DIY projects or customizing

One of the nicest things about the late summer and the turn of the season is getting to enjoy the pleasant weather and cool breezes. If you’re like many people, you can open up your windows and let the outside air circulate through the home, keeping you cool and improving the indoor air quality.

However, once temperatures start to cool down in the fall, it can become too cold to keep your windows open all day. When that happens, indoor air quality starts to suffer. Below, we go over some ways to improve indoor air quality in the fall.

Whole house fans are becoming a more popular option to cool and ventilate the home. They’re more sustainable, energy-efficient, and can save you big on your utility bill. In the face of rising energy prices and climate change, whole house fans have become a no-brainer.

Plus, to effectively use a whole house fan, you don’t need to ditch the AC. They work great as a supplement to air conditioning on days when AC isn’t necessary. And unlike AC, whole house fans can benefit you year-round.

Whole house fans are great, but where do you install them? Below, we’ll explain how roof-mounted whole house fans work and go over the options available to you.

So you’re considering a solar attic fan for your home. You recognize the potential to save money and reduce your carbon footprint while keeping your attic cool and dry with a solar attic fan.

However, maybe during the summer you get lots of cloudy days or you simply don’t want a fan that won’t operate during the day when you want it to. When considering purchasing a solar attic fan, it’s normal to wonder if they’ll be able to operate when it’s cloudy outside. While this depends on a whole lot of factors, the simple answer is yes (or rather, it should work when it’s cloudy outside). And if a solar attic fan won’t operate in a lot of shade, there are some steps you can take to ensure it will.

If you have a garage without windows, you may struggle to keep it properly ventilated. As you well know, an unventilated garage can be hot, humid, and full of air pollution.

Luckily, venting a windowless garage isn’t too hard, and you’ve got a number of options available to you, each of which we’ll explain below.

Attic temperatures can get extremely hot in the summer, often rising to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. You might think that this is not a big deal if you don’t go up there anyway, but actually, this extreme heat can make your air-conditioning system work harder to cool your home

Every day, more and more people are taking steps towards cooler, healthier, and more energy-efficient homes with whole house fans. In an ever-warming world with energy prices that never stop climbing, many of us can’t afford to run expensive air conditioning 24/7. Plus, with windows closed and houses sealed, indoor air pollution is another factor to consider.

Luckily, whole house fans are a great alternative or supplement to AC. They keep the home cool, pull heat out of the structure of the home, and exhaust trapped air.

So you’re thinking about upgrading to a whole house fan? Congratulations. Before you jump into a purchase, let’s go over some factors you should consider to choose the perfect whole house fan for your home.

Every new homeowner has to deal with a host of new information concerning the maintenance of their home. As every veteran homeowner knows, keeping up a house takes a lot of work and a lot of money, especially if you don’t take the right steps and precautions.

One of the most overlooked aspects for new homeowners is the attic. Especially if you have an unfinished attic, you probably don’t spend much time up there and it can be easy to forget about it. But a neglected attic can cause serious problems in a home including mold, mildew, rot, and roof damage—all because of poor attic ventilation. However, with the right ventilation, you can avoid these problems altogether.

Below, we’ll go over what new homeowners need to know about attic ventilation.

Purchasing a whole house fan is the best way to ventilate your home. If you’re thinking of making the purchase now, you may be wondering if it’s better to wait until the spring or summer when temperatures begin to rise again. That’s why most people get a whole house fan, right?

While installing a whole house fan is a great way to reduce indoor temperatures at a fraction of the cost of air conditioning, whole house fans do a whole lot more than keep things cool. In fact, did you know that you can use your whole house fan in any season?

Garage ventilation is important no matter what region or climate you live in. No matter where you live, air quality is a concern. If you store toxic chemicals or gas-powered equipment (or vehicles) in your garage, the air quality will be downright dangerous. Even if you don’t store chemicals or equipment that release toxic particles into the air, any unventilated space will eventually develop poor air quality. Plus, poor air quality can leach from your garage into the rest of your home if you own an attached garage.

And air quality isn’t your only concern. Poor ventilation leads to the buildup of humidity. When temperatures cool, this moisture can condense on equipment and surfaces causing slippery floors and rust or rot. Then, if you live in a region that experiences heat, you’ll want to keep your garage well-ventilated for the sake of comfort. But what’s the best way to keep your garage ventilated?

If you live in a region with a moderate climate, try using an insulated whole house fan to cool your home cost-effectively and reduce your reliance on air conditioning
