Some people are not considering replacing their existing bathroom exhaust fans despite the fact that these devices are inefficient in terms of carrying out and power consumption. The truth is that these people are unaware of the fact that they can test the current carrying out of their bath fans.
You can put the fan to a test to find out whether it is absolutely drawing air. Just hold a small piece of toilet tissue in front the grill. Properly functioning devices will tend to hold your tissue very tightly to their grill. If your fan doesn't, this means it is not working well. To check whether the foul bathroom air is absolutely leaving your home, just hold the open side of a big plastic garbage bag on the outer side of the exhaust hood. As you turn the expedient on, this bag is supposed to inflate in seconds. If it doesn't, you need to replace the fan.
Take a good look at the current model you're using. If it's rated with anyone below 50 cubic feet/minute or Crm, it's best that you replace it with a more qualified one. For instance, let us assume that a bathroom is as large as 100 sq. Feet (we're assuming that the bathroom has an 8-foot ceiling). Agreeing to the recommendations of the Hvi or Home Ventilating Institute, a accepted exhaust fan can contribute one Cfm or Cubic Feet per small for each square foot, as far as the demand of properly ventilating the bathroom is concerned.
Larger bathrooms, on the other hand, have larger fixtures like steam rooms or hot tubs/saunas, which call for much larger fans. Besides, the lengthier the ductwork is, the more qualified the bathroom exhaust fan has to be, so that it can draw in the moisture and odor effectively.
