5 Things to Consider When Buying a Bathroom Fan

Feb 27, 2018 | Energy Efficiency, Residential Electricity

When selecting a bathroom fan, it’s crucial to consider several factors to ensure it meets your needs effectively. At Expert Electric, we recognize the significance of bathroom fans in enhancing your bathroom experience. Firstly, consider the size and layout of your bathroom to determine the appropriate fan size and airflow capacity needed for efficient ventilation. Next, prioritize quiet operation to maintain a peaceful environment.

Opt for a fan with a low sone rating to minimize noise disruption. Also, choose a fan with sufficient ventilation power to remove moisture and odors from the bathroom, preventing mold and mildew growth.

Consider built-in lighting and heating options for added convenience and comfort. Lastly, ensure proper installation by hiring a licensed electrician to guarantee safety and functionality. By considering these factors, you can select the ideal bathroom fan to create a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere in your bathroom.

That is why our team of licensed electricians wants to help you ensure that you are making the right choice for your needs.

Bathroom Fan Size:

One of the most important decisions you must make when choosing the right bathroom exhaust fan is the size. Since bathroom fans are sized and rated by their ability to move air in a certain amount of cubic feet per minute, it is important to choose a fan appropriate for your bathroom’s square footage.

Installation

Even though most bathroom fans are installed into the ceiling, certain models can be installed into the wall. Once you have chosen where you want the bathroom fan to be located (ceiling or wall), you must choose a model with the appropriate size duct adapter for your home’s ductwork. It is important always to install bathroom fans to vent air outside of the home through the ductwork and the nearest soffit, as venting into the attic will cause moisture problems to develop in other areas of the home.

Bathroom Fan Features

A lot of bathroom fans on the market today come with different features that might be ideal for your specific needs. Some of the features that newer models may offer include:

  • Integrated lights
  • Night lights
  • Built-in heaters
  • Humidity and motion sensors
  1. Noise Level

If you are looking to create a peaceful and tranquil bathroom experience, you will want to pay close attention to the sound rating (the measurement of sound as it relates to how the average listener perceives it) for the bathroom fans consideration. Since one sone is about equal to the hum of a refrigerator, choosing a model with a sone rating of two or less would be the ideal choice for creating a relaxing atmosphere.

Level of Efficiency

Energy Star bathroom fans are the perfect choice for homeowners looking to save money on their energy bills because they use about 70% less energy than other models. Low energy consumption bathroom fans are also expected to meet qualifications for low sound emissions, low wattage consumption, and powerful performance.
