Bathroom Fans

To look at it, you would never think that your bathroom fan plays an essential role in overall air quality control in your home. We release moisture into the air when we shower or take a bath using hot water. If the moist air doesn’t dry, mould will grow. Once the mould grows, odours will follow, then your bathroom becomes unsightly.

Is your bathroom fan malfunctioning, or worse yet, you don’t have one installed? If that is the case, you need to work with us at Integrity Roofers to rectify the problem. Mould causes respiratory problems that won’t be detected immediately, so it is vital to protect your family or tenants when you have a problem.

Installation The Integrity Way

• We will assess the problem with the fan; in general, fans are economical in terms of cost, so a swap out with a new replacement won’t break the bank.
• A free estimate before installation
• If you don’t have a fan, we can help.

Installation And Replacement of Bathroom Fans

Your bathroom fan is a workhorse; it removes moisture, chemical odours, and dust from your bathroom. At Integrity Electricians, we will provide an inspection across the Greater Toronto Area before we change the fan because it might be another problem keeping the fan from working.

If you have moisture buildup, as we mentioned, mould is a problem; your drywall will suffer, and eventually, the paint will peel after exposure to excessive water vapour in the air. If the venting goes to the attic, the moisture could damage your insulation, and dry rot of your roof’s decking panels becomes a reality.

Things To Look For, Fan Failure

• When I flip the light switch on, the fan doesn’t come on, no power.
• The vents make noise where none existed in the past.
• The fan is ‘shorting’ out.
• Air circulation is inefficient.
• The bathroom temperature is higher than the rest of the house.
• The fan has dust accumulating on the blades of the fan.

Why Install A Fan?

Opening a window is no substitute for a bathroom fan, and local building codes demand one be installed in every bathroom in the home. There are problems you will encounter that are common when you need a new bathroom fan.

• Water stains on walls or ceilings.
• Mould growth between ceramic tiles or on the walls
• Tiles or floorboards become loose or lift
• Drywall that is damaged
• The decor (paint) is peeling
• Wood rot in the window sills
• Musty odour

FAQs

• How is the size of the fan determined?

  We look at it like this, you have 1 CFM per square foot per room, and we commonly install a 110 CFM

• Do you have timers that come with fans?

  We recommend them because you want to ventilate the bathroom properly to get all the moisture out.

• How do timers work?

  After using the bathroom, you set them for a prescribed amount of time, and they automatically shut off.

• How long should the fan run?

  It takes approximately 20 minutes to get the moisture out of the air in the bathroom to create a dry environment.
