In practice, however, the way we do it and how long we leave the window open should depend on the conditions which prevail outside. Leaving the windows open for too long in winter will cause the room temperature do drop significantly and, as a result, increase the heating bills. On the other hand, if we air the rooms improperly in summer, the temperature may become uncomfortably high. So how should we ventilate the rooms in different seasons? You can find handy tips on how to do it in our article.

It is worth leaving the windows open a fraction at night - thanks to that we will have more comfortable conditions to rest. Open the windows on opposite sides of the house. This way you can ventilate the rooms much faster. Be careful, though. When there is a strong wind, it is better to give up this practice. Open the doors in all rooms. A house in which all doors and windows are closed, resembles an oven. On hot days, a much better solution is to open the doors in all rooms including the bathroom. Bring more greenery to your home. Trees and plants provide natural air conditioning: they give shade, absorb carbon dioxide and release the oxygen which contributes to our well-being. Therefore, if possible, place pot plants in the rooms where you stay most often. Different rules apply when we want to air our rooms in winter, especially when the temperature falls below zero. Doing it improperly leads to heat loss and, consequently, increased heating costs. How to ventilate the rooms in winter? Here are some simple tips. Open the windows wide. Ventilate briefly but intensively. By opening the windows wide, we help the air exchange occur faster and prevent excessive cooling. In the winter months, about 5 minutes is enough to provide our rooms with the right amount of fresh air. Avoid draughts. While in summer this practice brings positive results, in winter it can lead to excessive cooling of the walls and floor. Before opening the window, lower the heating temperature. Thermoelectric actuators, which are more and more often installed on radiators, allow you to maintain a comfortable room temperature at all times. By opening the window we make the heating system work with maximum power. Although the radiator will become hot, the heated air will immediately escape through the window. It will therefore be a good practice to lower the pre-set temperature during ventilation. Thanks to such devices as WiFi 8S or ST-8S, we can also manage the temperature of thermoelectric actuators wirelessly. During ventilation, close the doors between rooms with different heating temperature settings. This will prevent condensation of warm, humid air in cooler rooms. Remember to heat and ventilate unused rooms. In unheated rooms, the walls and the ceiling cool down very quickly, increasing the risk of mould. On the other hand, heating rooms that are not used to the same extent as those where we stay every day is uneconomical. Therefore, the best solution in this case is to install an electric actuator on the radiator and reduce the temperature by several degrees in relation to other rooms. The windows which are produced currently are characterized by high tightness. On the one hand, they contribute to significant savings, but at the same time they prevent proper air circulation. That is why we need to ventilate the rooms more often.

Opening windows wide is not the only way to let some fresh in through the window. Micro-ventilation is also effective. It can be achieved thanks to special window hardware, which is very often mounted on the sash or window frame. In this way, a small gap will be created between the frame and sash, allowing fresh air flow in. The sash will remain in this position thanks to the window catch. Micro-ventilation is a good option, especially during storms and heavy rainfall when opening the window may lead to damage to the wall or floor. In the case of wooden floorboards, even a small amount of water may cause damage to the floor structure, which in turn generates considerable costs associated with repairing the damage. Another way to let more fresh air in is to install window vents. These are small devices designed to be installed on windows or walls of buildings. Their greatest advantage is efficiency - the amount of air that can flow through them into the building. The air flow can be adjusted, but it is impossible to close such vents. For this reason, they seem a good solution especially for people who are often away from home. With window vents your home will never feel like an oven.
