Exhaust Fans Can Solve a Multitude of Ventilation Problems
Most residential homes are basically sealed boxes in which air is circulated and conditioned, and exhaust fans are often needed to help eliminate fumes, odors, moisture, gases, and various other IAQ issues that can affect the air quality of a home. A good exhaust system creates negative pressure that pulls in fresh outside air.
- Attic ventilation can keep air moving through the space and rafters to relieve stagnant air, help eliminate mold, and lengthen the life of your roof shingles.
- Bathroom exhaust fans remove excess moisture, humidity, and odors, and help prevent mold growth.
- Kitchen exhaust fans eliminate cooking byproducts including smoke, fumes, odors, moisture, and grease.
- Crawlspace exhaust can provide cross ventilation below your home to remove moisture and prevent mold.
- Basement exhaust can remove stagnant air and humidity and helps prevent mold.
- Below-slab exhaust helps eliminate radon and other pollutants and keeps them from migrating into the home.
- Dryer exhaust fans can be used where exhaust pipe runs are too long.
- Fireplace flue exhaust fans help maintain proper draft and prevent back drafts.
- Special-application exhaust fans are often used in home workshops to remove dust and particulates, as well as odors from paint, glue, etc.
Make-up air units can provide sufficient supply air to replace the air that has been exhausted to keep spaces neutral in pressure and prevent back-drafting in flues and chimneys. They are often needed when powerful exhaust fans are used in tightly-constructed homes that allow little air infiltration.
