An In-Line Bathroom Exhaust Fan Eliminates Moisture and Odors Without a Sound

Bathrooms generate a significant amount of moisture. Moisture can be problematic in several ways. Riding your bathroom of excessive moisture is simple. Additionally, bathrooms are well known for an unpleasant odor from time to time. Eliminating odor is also simple. What if there was one product that could reduce moisture and odor from all of the bathrooms in your home? What if this one product was cost effective, efficient, long lasting, and quiet? Would you be interested?

Before talking about the product that solves bathroom problems, let's take a look at common solution. To remove moisture from a bathroom, most bathrooms either have a window or an exhaust fan. A window is effective, but a few problems exist. Not all bathrooms have windows, windows let in both cold and hot air, and you must remember to open and close your window as needed.

Now on to exhaust fans. The typical exhaust fan mounts overhead. The grate conceals the actual electric motor which moves air out of the bathroom extracting moisture in the process. The exhaust fan does its job very well. It pulls moisture and odors out of the bathroom. However, there are are few downsides. Exhaust fans are noisy. With the motor located directly overhead, these things can make a significant amount of noise. Good exhaust fans are expensive and each bathroom must have its own fan and associated duct work. With a quite, well performing exhaust fan in each bathroom, expect to pay at least $300 to $500 for 3 bathrooms. Longevity of an exhaust fan is questionable. Many simply are not designed for continuous use in high moisture situations and will not last more than a few years requiring constant replacement at a high cost.

If the above solutions are not intriguing to you, perhaps you should consider an in line fan. An in line fan has been in use in commercial applications for decades. An in line fan has several distinct advantages over a traditional bathroom exhaust fan and it should operate flawlessly for a long time due to its robust, commercial grade construction.

What is an in line exhaust fan? An in line exhaust fan is simply an electric motor attached to fan blades and housed in an assembly that typically resembles a box with an inlet and an outlet. The in line fan moves air in one direction, either pulling or pushing air as needed. It is remotely mounted far away from the source of incoming air and is attached to one or several remote grills via duct work that can be run to virtually any length needed.

Why is an in line fan ideal for a bathroom? By remotely mounting the fan in the attic, it is virtually silent in operation. You can run duct work from several bathrooms to the inlet side of just one in line fan. Hence, one fan can service all of the bathrooms in your home. An in line fan is commercially rated for continuous use and should have a long life span, many come with lifetime warranties. In line fans can move a significantly higher amount of air than most common bathroom exhaust fans. Servicing an in line fan is simple provided you install it in an easily accessible location in your attic.

Here are some tips for selecting an in line fan. Look for the sones rating. This number tells your how quiet the unit is. A lower number means a quieter fan. Look at cfm ratings and choose one suitable for the room size or combined room sizes in your home. Don't forget all of the necessary duct work and grills needed for installation. Though installation can be time consuming, the instruction manual will help guide you along. The process of installing an in line fan is straightforward.

With an in line fan servicing your bathroom you will immediately noticed a virtually silent fan operation. The remote location of the fan makes for a quiet bathroom. Furthermore, the high cfm ratings of a typical in line enable it to quickly change out the air in your bathroom making a moisture problem a thing of the past and driving odors away in no time.
