At what times should you ventilate in winter?
If you have to ventilate your home every day, regardless of the season, you can adapt to the temperatures. There are more favorable windows in winter: prefer 9 or 10 a.m., the temperature softens with the sun; And avoid doing it between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., a time when traffic causes more air pollution. In summer, open early in the morning, before the sun comes out, and late in the evening, after it sets.
Engie recalls good practices: ventilate for 5 to 10 minutes and 2 to 3 times a day. This will be enough to “bring in fresh, healthy air and exhaust hot, stale air”. The whole “without heat loss” because the walls do not have time to cool. Don’t worry: only air circulates. Another habit to get into: it is better to open wide for a short while than to leave your window swinging for hours. Note to save money!
