Indoor Air Quality in Windsor

Indoor Air Quality for Windsor homes

Windsor's homes range from early-1900s brick houses with radiators in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions in the east and south ends. Windsor's humid summers and older basements make moisture the most common air quality complaint we see in the city. Musty smells, damp basements and sticky upper floors usually need dehumidification and better cooling setup more than any air purifier.
