Bathroom and kitchen fans are an important part of your home's ventilation system. In addition to removing moisture from your home, they also remove odors. In fact, the nose, not the heat, is why most people turn on their exhaust fans--to remove odors and smoke.

Exhaust fans should be started anytime you are adding to the moisture in a room with such activities as

·        Showering

·        Shaving

·        Cooking

·        Washing clothes

·        Hanging clothes up to dry indoors

You enter the bathroom and turn on the exhaust fan. You shower; you shave; you hang up a wet towel; you leave the bathroom, turning off the exhaust fan as you go.

You did not turn off the moisture as you left the bathroom, however. It is smart to put your exhaust fan on a timer and set the timer for 20 minutes as you walk out the door.
