A Bathroom Fan Can Help Your Entire Home’s Indoor Air Quality
Too many homeowners underrate the value of the trusty bathroom fan. It may be small but it can do a lot of good for your home’s indoor air quality so don’t be afraid to run it often and long.
A fan is great for removing moisture, bacteria and odors that congregate in bathrooms and often migrate to the rest of a home. Along with eliminating odors and bacteria, a bathroom fan reduces humidity, which can produce mold, dust and allergens. It’s especially valuable in bathrooms that lack windows.
A bathroom fan won’t raise your electric bill by much; its motor is small, more incentive to run it for 20-30 minutes at a time, especially after taking a shower or bath.
You also can get bathroom fans with timers if you don’t want to keep wondering if you turned them on or off.
