Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about bathroom exhaust fan installation and ventilation requirements.

How do I determine the right size exhaust fan for my bathroom?

Exhaust fan sizing is based on CFM (cubic feet per minute) requirements. The basic rule is 1 CFM per square foot of bathroom space, with a minimum of 50 CFM. For bathrooms over 100 square feet, you need separate calculations for each fixture. Our ventilation sizing guide provides detailed calculations.

How much does bathroom exhaust fan installation cost?

Installation costs typically range from $200-$800 depending on the fan type, electrical requirements, and ductwork complexity. Simple replacement installations are less expensive than new installations requiring electrical circuits or extensive ductwork. We provide free estimates for all projects.

Can exhaust fans be installed in any bathroom?

Most bathrooms can accommodate exhaust fan installation, but some challenges include: no attic access, concrete ceilings, or complex ductwork routing. Our electricians assess each situation and provide solutions, including wall-mounted fans or alternative ventilation methods when ceiling installation isn't feasible.

How loud should a bathroom exhaust fan be?

Modern exhaust fans should operate at 1.5 sones or less for quiet operation. Sones measure sound levels - 1 sone is equivalent to a quiet refrigerator. We recommend ultra-quiet fans (0.3-0.9 sones) for master bathrooms and noise-sensitive installations.
