  • Bathroom exhaust fans help prevent moisture from building up in a room. This is especially important for residential homes because it prevents mildew and mold growth on the walls. Allowing condensation to form repeatedly can cause streaking, bubbling paint, and separation of the wall and window casings. The worst case scenario is when moisture gets inside the walls and grows mold, ruining the drywall and creating an unsafe environment for your family.

    Kitchen exhaust fans can typically be found inside hood vents that are positioned above stoves. These fixtures help move moist air, food odors and smoke away from the kitchen area. While they effectively clear the air of moisture, they can be challenging to clean and maintain due to grease and other food debris in the air moving through the vent. It's crucial to keep kitchen vent screens clean of debris and grease so they run reliably and prevent grease fires.

Diagnosing Problems With Exhaust Fans

In some cases, you can diagnose your home's exhaust fan issues yourself and resolve them. The following tips can help you diagnose and fix some common exhaust fan

issues:

  • Dead Motor or Switch – Remove the exhaust fan cover and unplug the motor from the outlet. Then, test the outlet with another small device, like a phone charger. If the device isn't turning on, your wall switch probably needs to be replaced. If the charger works, the switch is functioning properly, and the fan motor needs to be replaced.
  • Noise – If your exhaust fan is making a lot of noise, the issue could be with the fan blades or motor. Remove the cover and clean any debris from the blades. If that doesn't solve the problem, you may need to replace the fan motor.
  • Lack of Airflow – If your exhaust fan isn't providing enough airflow, check for obstructions in the vent or ductwork. Clear away any debris or buildup that may be blocking airflow. If that doesn't improve airflow, it's possible that your fan motor is not powerful enough for the size of your space and may need to be upgraded.
  • Dirty Fan Housing – If your exhaust fan hums when it's turned on, it might need a good cleaning. Dust accumulates inside the fan housing over the years, but you can use a vacuum with a hose attachment to clear it out. Sometimes, a loud fan means the blower wheel needs to be replaced.
  • Vent Pipe Problems – Examine your vent pipes for any signs of damage. Your vent pipe most likely exits the structure of your roof or side of the house.

  • If you've checked all the apparent issues but running your old exhaust fan isn't changing the room's humidity level, it might be time for a replacement unit. Wear and tear over time can wreak havoc on exhaust fans. A replacement will be more effective at removing moisture from your home. Your local Mr. Electric of Gastonia can replace your exhaust fan so you can keep your kitchens and bathrooms free of unwanted moisture.
