Buying Guide
When choosing the best bathroom fans for your home, know how to identify and select the right size and features.
Bathroom exhaust fans are a vital feature of any bathroom. It’s important to keep stale and humid air out of the most essential rooms in our homes. That’s why The Home Depot carries a variety of bathroom exhaust fans to fit all of your needs. When shopping for ventilation fans and bathroom exhaust fans, you should consider the room size, sound level and light options. You can also shop for bath fans with features such as heaters, timers and specific decor styles. Whether you’re looking for a bathroom vent fan, standard bathroom fans or a bathroom fan with light, we carry lots of bathroom exhaust fans to fit your home.
It’s important to understand how bathroom exhaust fans work before deciding which bath fans work best for your home. Moisture from hot showers, baths and other fixtures can accumulate on your bathroom walls, windows and cabinets. Without proper ventilation from bathroom fans, this moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, peeling paint, damaged wallpaper and warped walls and cabinetry. Appropriately sized and installed bathroom exhaust fans will remove the moist air and prevent these problems. Plus, bathroom fans can help improve overall air quality and remove odors.
The best bathroom exhaust fans connect to your home’s existing vent ducts and funnel the moist air outside. Some types of bathroom fans only vent moist air to the space in between your ceiling joists or into an attic. While easier and quicker to install, these bathroom fans can contribute to moisture damage elsewhere in your home in the long run. If your local building codes require a bathroom fans in bathrooms, then they also likely require that the bath fans vent air directly outside, rather than into other parts of your home. It’s best to always vent your bathroom exhaust fans to the outside and never into an attic or crawlspace.
Before you start shopping for bathroom exhaust fans, consider the size of the space you need ventilated. Once you know that you need bathroom exhaust fans that will cover small, medium or large ranges of square feet, you should determine the sound level, fan style and features you’d like to have. Remember that larger spaces will require more powerful bathroom exhaust fans to help filter out humid air, mold, mildew, dust, odors and chemicals from the room.
Whether you prefer decorative bath fans, a bathroom fan with a heater or bathroom exhaust fans with motion and humidity sensing technology, we have the selection to ensure you find the bathroom fans you’re looking for. We can help you choose the right bathroom exhaust fans for your home. Check out our helpful project and buying guides for bathroom exhaust fans:
