Bath Exhaust Fan Installation Columbia, MD

Bathroom ventilation fans Columbia Maryland

Do exhaust fans really need love?

Exhaust fans are in most Columbia household bathrooms. Yet, as familiar as they are to Columbia homeowners, there are several important factors that we see consistently getting overlooked.

5 things about bathroom fans that are overlooked:

Most exhaust fans installed in Columbia, MD homes vent moisture directly into the attic
--This causes mold
--This accelerates the age of the roof
--This degrades existing insulation
Bathroom exhaust fan ducts running through an attic can "sweat" during a Columbia, MD winter if not insulated properly
Different fan models exhaust different amounts of air per minute
If an exhaust fan is making noise, that does not mean it is working right
Incorrectly installed fans can act as gateways to the attic increasing BGE energy bills

A bathroom exhaust fan is important for indoor air quality and should be installed correctly!
