House Ventilation
Eliminate damp and enhance the air quality of your home.
What is house ventilation?
House ventilation is the process of replacing or exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air to improve the air quality within your home. House ventilation works hnd-in-hand with insulation upgrades to increase airflow and regulate your indoor temperature. It also keeps damp spots and mould at bay, ensuring the air in your home is fresh and free from allergens, pollutants, and lingering odours.
At Bundle, our mission is to help every home in the UK save money, energy, and the planet. Our expert team can guide you through the process of adding ventilation to your home improvement plan – helping you on your journey to a more energy-efficient, sustainable future.
House ventilation | Benefits at a glance
- A warmer, more comfortable home
- Removal of damp and mould
- Enhanced air flow and air quality
- Greater energy efficiency
How does house ventilation work?
- Assessment: We begin with a thorough assessment of your home to identify airflow needs and any specific issues, such as areas prone to mould or dampness. In many cases, a ventilation installation may be required before we can proceed with insulation works.
- Ventilation options: We’ll talk you through the ventilation we recommended to maximise your comfort. The most common types of ventilation installed in the home are trickle vents and extractor fans.
- Ventilation systems:
- Trickle vents are narrow slots built into your window frames, which allow passive natural air exchange between the inside and outside.
- Extractor fans actively pull air out of your home, and are installed in trouble spots like steamy bathrooms or greasy kitchens to keep internal air quality high.
- Installation: We expertly install ventilation systems in the key areas of your home that will have the greatest impact on air quality and comfort.
- Save a Bundle on your bills: It’s time to get cosy and enjoy money back in your pocket. A properly ventilated home helps to retain the energy and cost savings of modern insulation.
Green benefits of house ventilation:
Enhanced air quality
House ventilation eliminates damp, mould and condensation from your home. This means you’ll benefit from fresh air free of harmful pollutants and lingering odours.
Greater energy efficiency
By promoting natural air circulation, well-designed ventilation can reduce reliance on heating and cooling systems and lower your energy consumption.
Lower carbon footprint
Improving your energy efficiency also means reducing your carbon footprint and doing your bit in the fight against climate change.
Boosting renewable energy performance
A well insulated home with good ventilation allows renewable energy systems such as heat pumps and solar PV to last longer and perform at their best. That means even more money back in your pocket, plus greater gains for the environment.
Property lifespan
Proper ventilation helps in managing humidity levels, reducing the risk of mould growth. This can ultimately help the structural integrity of your building and enhance the lifespan of your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Installing extractor fans in high-moisture areas, like bathrooms and kitchens, can help to remove stale air and humidity.
Trickle vents in your window and door frames create natural airflow from outside.
Finally, Simply opening windows regularly allows for natural ventilation, promoting the exchange of fresh air.
You might think so but no! Trickle vents allow gentle airflow into your home without affecting the indoor temperature. These vents are designed to allow fresh air in without creating draughts. If your home is ventilated, you should keep your vents open at all times – even in winter.
If your home has cavity or solid wall insulation, you’ll need adequate ventilation to compensate for the reduced airflow. Ideally this ventilation will be distributed across the entire house. The amount you need will depend on what ventilation you currently have, the size of your property and what insulation you already have.
Start by assessing your current ventilation channels or systems and identify areas that may require enhancement, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.
Some of the factors that cause poor ventilation include:
- Building Design and Layout
Closed-off rooms and poorly positioned windows can restrict fresh air movement.
- Old or Inadequate Ventilation Systems
Outdated or malfunctioning ventilation units may not provide sufficient air exchange.
- Insulation
Heat-retaining insulation is a great choice for your home, but it can cause reduced airflow.
If your house has poor ventilation your fresh air circulation will be inadequate, and the concentration of indoor pollutants can increase, leading to poor air quality and allergens within your home.
Excess moisture due to insufficient airflow can also foster the growth of mould and mildew. Over time this can be damaging to both your home and your health.
Additionally, poor ventilation can result in unpleasant odours and a stuffy atmosphere, making indoor spaces uncomfortable. This can lead to increased energy costs as heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain desired temperatures without effective air exchange.
