Having extraction fans fitted in your kitchen and bathrooms will vent stale and horrid air and will help highly insulated homes as moisture will stay trapped without the proper ventilation and will lead to mold formation.
- Blood & heart rates can also be affected when exposed to poor temperatures due to poorly heated homes. Arteries constrict, blood pressure and heart rate will increase which is not good for those already suffering from heart conditions.
