EnviroVent says that according to a recent survey of 200 homeowners who had bought one of its ventilation systems more than half had experienced improvements to their health or home within two weeks of its installation.

All 200 participants stated that they had seen an improvement to either their homes or their health as a result, with over a third of customers (37%) saying they had experienced improvements to their home or health within a week and just over half had experienced improvements within two weeks or less. The survey also revealed that 1 in 8 homeowners had bought a ventilation unit for health reasons, mainly due to asthma.

Of those people who had bought a ventilation product, 91% did so to deal with condensation, which was closely followed by dealing with mould (69%) and a musty or damp smell in the house (32.5%).  5% of the 182 customers who had the unit installed due to condensation said they noticed an improvement.

EnviroVent marketing director Rebecca McLean said: “Poor indoor air quality is a problem for many homes, which may trigger or exacerbate health issues associated with respiratory or dermatological problems. Poor ventilation is also an issue for homes too, causing condensation-dampness and mould, which can look unsightly and damage the fabric of the building.”
