Exhaust fans are used inside homes to expel odors, fumes, heat, humidity, and other things that impair the quality of indoor air and make the environment less comfortable for occupants.
Benefits of Exhaust Fan Installation For Your Home

Which Areas of My Home Should Have an Exhaust Fan?
- Bathrooms: Most localities maintain compliance with International Residential Codes (IRC), which require bathroom exhaust fan installation that will ensure the air is exhausted outside the home and not recirculated or expelled into attics, crawl spaces, or voids. Without good ventilation, walls and ceilings will typically develop harmful mold spores, which become increasingly worse.
- Garages: Vehicle exhaust fumes contained in attached garages pose health risks associated with exposure to carbon monoxide and benzene. Garages are often used for storing gasoline-powered equipment, such as lawnmowers that generate fumes. To minimize the risk, homeowners should briefly leave their garage door open and have an exhaust fan to clean the air.
- Attics: The attic in a home typically fills with warm air. Having an exhaust fan installed in the space will keep the home cooler and reduce the strain on air conditioners on hot days.
- Workshop areas: Those who perform indoor repair work or have hobbies that involve the use of materials that generate fumes will benefit from an exhaust fan.
