Bathroom, Kitchen and Laundry Exhaust Fans

Signs Your Bathroom Fan Isn't Working

The mirror stays fogged long after you shower
Mildew keeps coming back on the ceiling or grout
Paint is peeling or bubbling near the shower
The fan is loud but barely moves air
You hold a tissue to the grille and it doesn't pull it in
There's no fan at all, only a window

A single hot shower can release a surprising amount of moisture into a small room. Without a working exhaust fan, that moisture settles on walls, ceilings, and inside the wall cavities, leading to peeling paint, mildew, warped trim, and mold. Kitchens add grease and cooking odors, and laundry rooms add humidity from washers and dryers. A properly sized, properly vented fan removes all of it at the source.

Sizing a Bathroom Fan

For most bathrooms up to about 100 square feet, a common guideline is at least 1 CFM per square foot of floor area, so an 8-by-10-foot bathroom needs about 80 CFM. Larger bathrooms and those with separate toilet rooms, jetted tubs, or steam showers need more airflow or a second fan. Long or winding duct runs reduce real airflow, so we size the fan for the duct, not just the room.

Venting Issues

One of the most common problems we find is a bathroom fan that dumps moist air into the attic, or one with a duct that has come loose and does the same. That warm, wet air condenses on the roof sheathing in cold weather and can cause mold and rot. Code requires exhaust fans to vent to the outdoors. We run insulated ductwork to a roof cap, wall cap, or soffit vent with a damper, and we fix existing fans that vent into the attic.

Quiet Fans and Smart Controls

Humidity-sensing fans that turn on automatically when moisture rises
Timer switches that keep the fan running 15–30 minutes after you leave
Fan and light combinations, including LED and night-light models
Fans listed for use over tubs and showers, with GFCI protection where required

Signs You Need a New Exhaust Fan

Mirrors stay fogged long after a shower
Cooking smoke and odors linger through the house
Grease film builds up on cabinets near the stove
The laundry room feels damp or smells musty
Peeling paint, bubbling drywall, or mildew on walls or ceilings
The fan is loud, rattles, or barely moves air
There’s no fan at all, or it vents into the attic instead of outside

Bathroom Exhaust Fans

Bathrooms produce more moisture than any other room in the house. A properly sized, properly vented fan protects your paint, drywall, and ceiling from mold and water damage.

New installations in bathrooms that never had a fan
Replacements and upgrades for noisy, weak, or failing fans
Fan/light combos wired so the fan and light run on separate switches
Switch upgrades, including stacked switch-over-switch controls that fit more functions in less wall space

Kitchen Exhaust Fans & Range Hoods

A good range hood clears smoke, heat, grease, and cooking odors before they settle into your cabinets, walls, and furniture.

New circuits and wiring when your hood needs its own power
Replacing old or underpowered hoods with models sized for your cooktop

Larger, high-powered hoods can pull enough air to affect the rest of the house. We’ll talk through sizing with you so your hood fits your kitchen.

Laundry Room Exhaust Fans

Washers and dryers add heat and humidity to the room around them, especially in small or enclosed laundry spaces. An exhaust fan keeps the room dry and comfortable and helps prevent mildew.

Why Venting Outside Matters

One of the most common problems we find is an exhaust fan blowing humid air straight into the attic, or a duct that has come loose. That moisture can soak insulation, rot wood, and lead to mold growing where you can’t see it.

Every fan we install is ducted to the exterior. If your home also needs better attic ventilation, see our attic fan installation services.

How Our Installation Works

Assessment. We look at the room, attic access, and existing wiring to plan the best fan location and duct route.
Wiring. We run new cable or add a circuit as needed, often through the attic to avoid opening up walls.
Installation. The fan or hood is mounted, wired, and connected to its controls.
Venting. Ductwork is run to the exterior and sealed at the vent.
Testing. We confirm everything works before we leave.

Common Fan Issues We Solve

Can an exhaust fan vent into the attic?

It shouldn’t. Venting into the attic traps moisture in your home and can cause mold and rot. Exhaust fans should be ducted all the way outside through the roof, soffit, or an exterior wall.

Is a ducted range hood better than a recirculating one?

A ducted hood removes smoke, heat, and moisture from your home entirely. A recirculating hood filters the air and blows it back into the kitchen. Ducted is usually the better choice when it’s possible to run a vent outside.

Can you add a fan to a room that doesn’t have one?

Yes. We regularly install fans in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms that never had one, running new wiring and ductwork as part of the job.

Can I supply my own fan or range hood?

Absolutely. Many customers pick out their own fixtures, and we handle the installation.

Do I need an electrician to install an exhaust fan or range hood?

A licensed electrician makes sure the fan is on the right circuit, wired safely, and properly connected. That matters in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, where moisture and electricity mix.
