1) Why you should upgrade your old bathroom fan this spring.
Do look out for signs which indicate the fan in your bathroom may be faulty and due an upgrade. Have you noticed the walls and windows in the bathroom, as constantly wet? Does the bathroom remain steamy for much longer periods after a hot shower
Through further investigation with me, I can confirm whether the extractor fan is faulty and could do with a repair or whether an upgrade is best.
Back to top2) Damage caused by faulty bathroom fans
I work with homeowners facing extractor fan issues frequently. One comment I always hear is that the fan switches on but fails to remove the steam. By taking proactive steps early and working with a qualified electrician and extractor fan specialist, you can prevent damage to your bathroom. I’ve seen first hand how prolonged steam and poor ventilation can damage paint work, wallpaper and the ceiling. I’ve even witnessed stubborn black mould caused when moisture settles over a long period.
Back to top3) Why is the bathroom fan not working?
Extractor fans have a lifespan like most electrical devices. Typically anywhere between 7-15 years. So you might be facing problems because the fan is outdated and faulty. Where many modern homes now have powerful electric showers, older fans struggle to manage modern moisture levels.
I can diagnose the issue once I’ve inspected the extractor fan, either being able to repair the fan, improve the ducting system or install a new upgrade if requested by the client.
Back to top4) Why is Spring a good time to consider an upgrade?
Spring is a great period to carry out home projects such as extractor fan upgrades, preparing the bathroom for the upcoming Winter. In the Winter, colder temperatures cause condensation to happen at a faster rate. Steam from hot showers and baths turn into liquid as soon as they hit cold glass windows.
During the Winter period, we tend to open windows less so humidity does get trapped in more, contributing to damp air in the bathroom.
