Installing a Bathroom Exhaust Fan

Bathroom exhaust fans are a must in any modern bathroom, including those in your "old" home. Trapped moisture can do even more damage to an older home which also may not have a bathroom that is as well insulated. Installing a bathroom exhaust fan can prove difficult depending on the location of your bathroom but here are some tips from Old House Journal.

* Locate the fan close to the shower.
* Keep the run of duct as short and straight as possible.
* Seal the ducts so moisture can't escape, and seal the fan housing to the ceiling with a bead of caulk.

 

  • This is a project that I’m really not looking forward to doing at my house, but I know it’s important. As a girl, I haven’t been taught as much as my brothers were. After reading this, I’m sure I can figure this out. Thanks for the tips. I’ll keep researching to make sure I have this down :)
