Bathroom Fan

Many newer homes already have a bathroom fan installed, while older homes often have underpowered ones. Either way, your bathroom fan should be checked to make sure it is powered at least at 80 cubic feet per minute. A bathroom fan should also be nearly silent when running to ensure it gets use, so fans that are loud should be replaced.

A bathroom fan should be run about 20 minutes after a hot shower to guarantee that the moisture and humidity are dissipated and won't cause damage to your bathroom. A simple and inexpensive timer switch can purchased for your bathroom fan so that it runs the proper amount of time. Automatic bathroom fan switches, that detect humidity or just run at programmed times, are also available.
