exhaust fan in bathroom question

11 years ago

We recently replaced all our windows/doors and resided our house w/Hardiplank. Our house is very tight now. We installed a whole house fan and have to make sure at least 2 windows are open when the fan is going. We now need to install a bathroom exhaust fan but are concerned as to how we will have enough fresh air to replace what is going out the vent.

Bathroom fans move much less air than a whole house fan. I don't think you will have a problem.

If the bathroom fan is going to be used to remove moisture after a shower then I suggest wiring it to a timer. Running the fan for 20-30 minutes during and after the shower should be sufficient.

OK, thanks. Sounds like the air flow factor is a non-issue.
