This is because your garage likely has a build-up of chemicals and fumes from your tools, machinery, and car. Not only does this create an unsafe work environment, but these toxic fumes can seep into the rest of your home if you’re not careful.

Below, we’ll go over how to properly ventilate a garage workshop.

July 4th, 2023 was the hottest day ever recorded. So this summer, even more than previous ones, you’re probably looking for some relief at home.

It’s hard to enjoy your summer when you come back to a hot and humid home. That’s why so many people turn to air conditioning to get relief from the summer heat.

But as you know, running your AC throughout the summer isn’t cheap — and the hotter it gets outside the more your AC has to work to keep your home cool. The result is high utility bills that can seriously eat into your budget.

Luckily, many people supplement their AC with a whole house fan. It’s great for ventilating your home and cooling it down at night, but does it actually save you money? Is it cheaper than running your AC?

Although the initial purchase price may make you hesitate, remember that a whole house fan will always save you money in the long run. They reduce your electricity bill and keep moisture levels down, eliminating mold and rot and preventing costly repairs.

Now that you’re ready to purchase your whole house fan, you must be wondering about all of the options ahead of you, and there are quite a lot.

This can be unsightly, ruin your view of the outside, and also lead to mold and mildew growth.
