Exhaust fans are perfect for removing smoke in the kitchen, steam in the bathroom, plus the hot and humid air both environments can create. Removing this air allows fresh new air to enter the room instead. The warm air that is removed is sucked through a ducting system and sent outside where it can dissipate.
Ceiling exhaust fans are especially important as they remove excess moisture which would otherwise lead to mould and bacteria growth.
Fans that move two cubic metres of air per second are sufficient for ventilation purposes. But if you need a heavy duty fan you may need to purchase something bigger.
It’s best practice to clean your exhaust fan at least once every six months. Regular cleaning ensures it remains in good working order and can most effectively ventilate the room.
Before you clean your fan, turn it off at the circuit breaker. Firstly, remove the vent cover, clean it with soapy water and leave it to air dry. Next, vacuum off the dust on the exhaust fan – keep a light touch so you don’t break anything!
Your fan will probably still be dirty after vacuuming. Use a damp cloth to clean off any remaining grime. You could even take apart the fan to get into all the components. Finally, with everything clean, reassemble the fan and turn it back on!
A ceiling fan can use anywhere between 4.5W to 45W of electricity, dependent on fan speed and other factors. With this in mind, the cost to run a fan is approximately $0.13 to $1.29 per hour. Again dependent on numerous circumstances such who your electricity provider is.
A loud fan could be caused by several different reasons. The type of sound you fan is making can determine the problem.
The most common noise is a humming sound, often caused by dimmer controls. Dimmer control weren’t intended to be used to control fan speeds, so the imperfect design can make a humming noise. A bad receiver could also be the cause for humming. If you have a remote control for your fan then the connection between that and the fan could cause the awful sound. Replace with proper fan speed controls or a new receiver immediately.
If it’s a rattling sound you’re hearing then it’s most likely due to loose screws. Loose screws that connect ceiling fan blades to the motor can cause serious damage to your home or even injury if not tightened.
When a fan is mounted directly onto the ceiling joist, (beams that provide support to your home), the above noises may be amplified. You’re directly mounted fan should include hangers to help to avoid the loud noise.
For any sort of loud noise your fan is making while it’s in motion, it’s important to contact a qualified electrician to find the source of the problem.
