The transition from summer to autumn brings a significant change in indoor climatic conditions: the days get shorter, the air becomes more humid, and there is a tendency to close doors and windows more tightly. This transition period is ideal for preparing the home for the comfort of the colder months.
The first step involves the cleaning of filters in air conditioners and ventilation systems. During summer, these components have worked intensively and may have accumulated dust, pollen, and organic residues. Cleaning them not only improves air quality but also prevents the growth of mold and bacteria.
The second aspect is controlling indoor humidity. With the arrival of autumn, rain and lower temperatures promote an increase in relative humidity. Excess humidity can cause condensation and encourage mold formation, especially in corners and less ventilated areas. Using a portable dehumidifier, such as the Ariston Deos Evo 12, can maintain ideal humidity levels (between 40% and 60%), avoiding structural and health problems.
Finally, air exchange should not be neglected: even if the weather is cooler, opening windows for at least 10 minutes a day, preferably in the morning, helps renew the air and reduce the concentration of indoor pollutants. For those living in particularly humid areas, combining ventilation and dehumidification is the winning strategy to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment.
Preparing the home during this period is not just a matter of cleaning but a true investment in health and energy efficiency during the cold months.
