Exhaust fan installation and upgrades sized correctly for your bathroom, ducted all the way outside rather than dumped into the attic.
Bathroom ventilation, exhaust fan installation and humidity control are especially relevant in Southwest Louisiana, where an undersized or improperly vented fan leaves a bathroom damp long after a shower ends. This covers fan sizing, noise level and, just as important, making sure the fan actually vents outside rather than into the attic.
Southwest Louisiana humidity makes proper venting more important than in drier climates.
A shockingly common shortcut in older homes is venting straight into the attic, which pushes moisture into your roof structure instead of outside; we correct this whenever we touch a bathroom fan.
An undersized fan will not keep up with shower steam in a humid climate, leading to lingering moisture, mildew and peeling paint.
A humidity-sensing fan control runs the fan automatically when moisture is high, which is useful for a bathroom that is not always attended after a shower.
We assess the current fan, duct routing and bathroom size.
Fan capacity, noise level and controls are chosen.
The fan is set and ducted properly to the exterior.
Wiring and controls, including humidity sensors if selected, are connected.
We test airflow and confirm proper exterior venting with you before calling the job done.
Basic fans cost less than quiet, high-capacity or fan-heater combo units.
Correcting a fan that was venting into the attic adds ducting labor beyond a simple swap.
Humidity sensors and timer switches add a modest cost over a standard switch.
Fan location and attic access affect installation labor.
