How To Buy A Bathroom Fan


Your bathroom is often one of the wettest areas of your home. This may sound natural, but wetness is actually not the only issue. Remember, where there is wetness, there is moisture and where there is moisture, there are bacteria that thrive and cause health hazards. That's aside from offensive odors and humid air that you just may have problems with, until you start using a bathroom fan.

A bathroom fan is a must have for any home. It does not only get rid of the wetness and unpleasant air in the bathroom, but it also keeps it healthy for use. There are various types of bathroom fans available in the market today, and just before you take your pick, first consider a few things.

One is the size of the fan you need. A basic rule for determining this is to take the size of your bathroom in cubic feet, multiply it by eight and divide it by sixty. That's the number of cubic feet of moisture your fan needs to suck dry per minute. Also decide on a fan based on how much noise might be tolerable to you. There are models advertised as quiet bathroom fans and these come with an external motor that can be installed in the attic.

Another thing you can consider when choosing a fan that is right for you is controls. There are some equipped with sensors that automatically turn on the motor when a person enters the bathroom, and there are others have to be manually operated. Automatic bathroom fans also come with a timer that signals when the fan should stop after a certain number of minutes after the sensor detects the person has left. Automatic fans naturally cost more because they are equipped with special sensors that allow them to work without manual operation. If you have extra room in your budget, there is no reason why you should not get one of these. Otherwise, a manually operated fan will still serve you well.

When choosing a fan, you should also look into the mount type that you prefer and the location where you would like the fan to be installed. These are things you can discuss with the salesperson who is supposed to know exactly what is suitable for you. Of course, you also have to give a description of the fan's position in your bathroom, as well as how you want it mounted. A fan that has an external motor installed in the attic, for example, can run with minimal noise than one with the motor attached to it.

These days, we can all use an opportunity to save on our electric bills, so it's also good to choose a bathroom fan that is energy efficient. Look for tags that indicate how much electricity the fans consume over a period of time and check whether or not this is reasonable. If you are not familiar with these things, you can ask a friend, relative or colleague who is. You can also talk to a salesperson or chat with online sales attendant about brands or models that are equipped with energy-saving mechanisms. With an energy efficient bathroom fan, you can set aside more of your income to add to your savings or plan a once-a year family vacation. Besides that, an energy-efficient fan can also help save the world.
