Before you know how to choose the right bathroom exhaust fan, let us tell you why it is extremely important to have one in your bathroom. The fact is, bathrooms are the moistest places in your home, which makes it a perfect environment for fungal growth. This fungal growth can also cause contaminable diseases or skin diseases. To prevent this from happening, you must keep your bathrooms dry at all times by providing proper ventilation. This is where an exhaust fan plays an important part.

 

Exhaust fans help to blow out the moist air inside the bathroom and pull in fresh, dry air inside. This helps dry up the bathroom quickly, thus preventing any fungal growth. Now that you know why you must install an exhaust fan in your bathroom, here are some simple tips to consider while finding the right one.

Check The Size Of The Bathroom

Before you start looking for a fan, confirm the size of your bathroom. Why? Because the larger the bathroom size, the more powerful the fan you will need.

Find Out The Size Of The Fan

An exhaust fan’s power or capacity to blow out air is measured in meter-cube per hour (m3/hr). So, for example, a standard bathroom of the size 8 feet x 5 feet x 8 feet will require an exhaust fan of the capacity of 144 m3/hr.

Consider Noise Factor

This may not seem important but you must know that inferior quality exhaust fans often make a lot of noise. So it’s always to check this beforehand, rather than choosing a fan that will irritate you each time you switch it on.

Check Energy-Efficiency

Though exhaust fans are small in size, don’t underestimate their power consumption capacity. That’s why, always check the star rating of the fan before you buy to avoid choosing a fan that’s a power-guzzler!

Check Warranty

As happens with any electrical appliance, exhaust fans too are susceptible to issues after being used for a period of time. So you should choose a fan with as long a warranty as possible to get better maintenance service.

If you follow these tips, you will be able to make a well-informed decision while choosing the right exhaust fan. Or if you need any help, you can always get in touch with Seion or via email (info@myseion.com).
