BENEFITS OF AERATING YOUR HOME IN WINTER


Officially winter is just around the corner, but while the southwest is enjoying the best weather in the country, most states in the United States are under snow.  Generally, homeowners never think about ventilating their homes in winter.  However, certain websites have written about the benefits of circulating fresh air in one’s home during winter months by reminding us that winterizing our homes (insulating a home from winter drafts) can trap pollutants in our home and make it more difficult for fresh air to circulate. To minimize the negative effects of winterizing our home, Prevention magazine advises us to open bedroom windows for 5 to 10 minutes after waking up in the morning and again before climbing into bed at night.  This is sufficient time to let carbon dioxide out and oxygen in without chilling the rest of the house. Not only does aerating freshen your home and remove odors and pollutants from the air, the outside smells of the season stimulate our senses when taking in smells such as burning firewood from nearby chimneys, an ocean breeze, or just clean fresh air.  For this reason, your windows should be equipped with good quality screens to keep insects and bugs out.

BestWindowScreen.com offers you a wide variety of screens from their fine selection of window screens and door screens. If placing orders over the computer is too impersonal for you, Best Window Screen customer service reps invite you to call and inquire about the cost to replace your screens.  In view of today’s economy, we do our best to get you the least expensive but yet most effective screen to suit your needs and pocketbook. Contractors are always welcomed to call us, particularly if they seek discounts on large quantity items or special orders.
