Don't Overlook Five Bathroom Exhaust Fan Things

1. Most exhaust fans installed in Maryland homes vent moisture directly into the attic
      --This causes mold
      --This accelerates the age of the roof
      --This degrades existing insulation
2. Bathroom exhaust fan ducts running through an attic can "sweat" during a Maryland winter if not insulated properly
3. Different fan models exhaust different amounts of air per minute, and if an exhaust fan is making noise, that does not mean it is working right
4. Incorrectly installed fans can act as gateways to the attic, increasing BGE and Pepco energy bills
5. A bathroom exhaust fan is essential for indoor air quality and should be installed correctly!
