Learn how to properly air your home during winter months to maintain fresh air quality and reduce heating costs. Discover the best times to open windows and avoid unnecessary heat loss.
Clean air and lower bills, even in winter? It can be done! While the cold spell persists and the urge to turn up the heating is tempting, one simple solution can make all the difference: air your home properly.
But how do you go about renewing the air without turning your home into an igloo? And above all, when is the ideal time to open the windows in the middle of winter? Airing out when it's cold: best practices for airing out without cooling your home Even if the urge to curl up under a blanket seems irresistible, airing your home remains a priority, even in the coldest weather.

However, this is a generic time range: first and foremost, you need to monitor the weather conditions so that you can adapt these times if necessary. Airing out when it's cold: here are the times to avoid In summer and the shoulder seasons, it's often a good idea to air your home early in the morning and late in the evening. However, this practice should be avoided or limited during the winter months!
