An exhaust fan sucks out warm or humid air from a room which allows cool fresh air to enter the space. They are used in bathrooms to take out the hot humid shower steam or in the laundry to extract humidity from the dryer. 
​If you are searching for a Geelong electrical company to install your exhaust fan, we are here to help. 

The need for an exhaust fan is dependent on the room, meaning there are certain rooms in a home that require air to be removed. The main rooms in a house where you would want air to be sucked out would be in the bathroom, toilet, kitchen, laundry, sauna and any room that produces humidity.

If the humid air is not dealt with then these rooms are prone to mildew and mould growth. As we all know, hot air rises and the warm humid air can easily be sucked out of a room with a well placed exhaust fan.

One of the most obvious things we take for granted is breathing and especially breathing in fresh air. Exhaust fans actually promote air circulation in a home and as the warm damp air is sucked out this creates pressure. This pressure then needs to take air from somewhere else to replace the expelled air.

This air is usually taken from underneath doors and any windows left slightly ajar. You may notice this pressure when you eventually open your external doors, if you don’t have windows open and your external doors have tight seals. This is fresh outside air getting sucked into the house because of the void left by the exhaust pushing out the air.

So for any advice on exhaust fans for your home, feel free to call anytime.

Types of Exhaust Fans

There are a couple of main types of exhaust fans that are available and things to consider.
There are benefits to each and the space that is being targeted will determine which type is best suited.

1. Ceiling Mounted Exhaust Fan - Most beneficial for bathrooms and positioned above the shower to remove the steam instantly. Another application could be if you have a multi story house and the warm air rises to the top floor. Having a ceiling exhaust fan in the top story will remove any hot air and promote air flow throughout the home.

2. Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan - These are usually a lot less complicated to plan and install. They can also be great for ventilation and air circulation too. Whether it’s a ceiling fan or wall fan installation, both options are great additions to any home.
