Показать описание

Bathroom fans are way more exciting and important to our home than they're made out to be! A good bathroom fan will remove unwanted moisture and smells, and in some homes, it's the only source of mechanical ventilation that keeps your indoor air fresh and healthy.

In this video, we’re going to take a deep dive into bathroom fans, all that you need to know when buying, and a closer look at some installation considerations. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Rise video without looking at the health, wealth, and planet impacts of this product category.

A weird (but important) question: do you prefer your bathroom fan to make a noise when you turn it on?

Very informative... great job! Thank you.

Very straightforward and useful video - no fluff. Thank you!

Great video, but the music is way too loud and makes it difficult to focus on what you’re saying

Hello,
Planing to add a fan to a bathroom with a window on the top level of my townhouse. Was wondering, how to "piggyback" on the existing ductwork. Do not wanna punch another hole in the roof. Any suggestions?

*Works great with **Fastly.Cool**, exactly as described. Love the fact that it can push, pull, or exchange air with the push of a button. The remote is a nice bonus too!*

My bathroom ceiling is open, so while I am there, I want to change my bathroom fan for a new one, but I have a 3" diameter exhaust pipe, I’m considering changing it for a 4" pipe, which seems to be the standard now, I noticed that the new fans are made mostly for 4" exhaust, but some comes with adapters to fit 3" exhaust pipe. Is it worth the trouble changing for 4" exhaust ? would it be more efficient ?

Can it bring some smells from outside in? Like do they bring in a little bit in when the flap is open ? I've can smell stuff from outside sometimes when it's on. It vents outside I think to the roof

Why would you want to switch the CFM to 80 instead of 100CFMs? Is it true that if your mirror fogs up when you take a shower that the fan isn't powerful enough?

We are going to have a shower that has a rainfall head in the ceiling and a wall mounted head each with their own water lines so it will be using double the water-does that mean I will need a higher CFM to account for the extra moisture?

Lastly if we mount the exhaust fan inside the shower will it make it too breezy? Because it will not have a shower door so it is pretty open as is-which I'm also afraid may make us cold even though they say it doesn't which I don't understand because if you open the shower door on a normal shower it gets cold. I dunno.

I know this is an old video but i have a question: I'm going to be having my bathroom remodeled and the floor plan will be bigger (will be 12x6x8). The math is just under 75 CFM. Do i go with an 80 or do I go bigger? Im installing a shower, vanity and toilet as well

I occasionally dry laundry in my bathroom, but then when my mum visits she scolds me for leaving the fan on, saying I’m letting out all the AC and indirectly pulling hot air into the house. Do bathroom fans waste the AC air?

zulrex

Pretty sure that exhaust fans don't cause a hard vacuum, so they also bring fresh air into your house through gaps, furnace fresh air intakes, dryer ducts, etc. by creating a negative pressure differential relative to the outside.

Love your sweater where'd ya get it?

skatenick

Omg he said it would cost around $500 to get the exhaust fan installed but i just got a quote for $700 from an electrician and that didnt even include cutting a hole in the roof to ventilate the fan. Definitely gonna get more quotes

leslierivera
