Why does my house feel stuffy even with windows open?

Posted by Bibiter on September 15, 2025, 12:58 pm

We keep windows open all the time, but the house still feels stuffy. I’ve tried sprays, dehumidifiers, and even a small air purifier, but nothing really fixes it. Sometimes the air feels almost heavy, and it gets worse in the evenings. Could this have something to do with the ventilation system itself, or am I missing something simple?

I don’t want to keep throwing money at quick fixes that don’t solve the problem. If someone has gone through this and found a real solution, I’d really like to hear how you handled it.

For us, the problem wasn’t the windows at all — it was the ducts. After scheduling a service to improve indoor air quality, the team found old dust and even bits of construction material stuck inside the system. The difference after cleaning was incredible. Instead of that heavy, stale air, the house felt light and breathable again. Even my partner, who usually doesn’t notice these things, kept saying how much better the place felt. It was such a relief to finally solve the issue.
