Tiles sopping wet and using your hand to wipe off the condensation from your bathroom mirror after a shower sound familiar? Why not consider an Extractor Fan Installation carried out by your local electrician - Jason of Fairway Electrical in Knowle, Bristol?
Bathrooms are renowned for being wet and humid areas with both baths and showers to blame. In turn these create the perfect atmosphere for mould to breed which is the bane of every Knowle homeowner. Condensation is typically caused by warm humid air meeting a cold surface. This then creates small droplets of water on that surface such as tiles and mirrors.
In the middle of a freezing cold winter you are not going to want to open the window whilst taking your morning shower therefore, as you experienced local electrcian in Knowle, I recommend an Extractor Fan Installation.
How will an Extractor Fan Installation help?
Extractor Fans ultimately pull humid air out of your bathroom and away from your Knowle home. It is good practice to have the Extractor Fan running every time you take a shower or bath and keep it running for a short while after too. Once damp and mould take a hold of your home it is a mission to keep it at bay whereas a prevention measure in the form of an Extractor Fan is far simpler. Mould can also cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions, so it is best to get to the source of the problem and avoid these nasties altogether.
What type of Extractor Fan Installation will I need?
I can supply and fit two types of Extractor Fan in your home in Knowle. The first being a wall fan. This is a more cost-effective option as it is a less complicated installation. It will be fitted against an external wall with ducting running from the inside to the out. The second being a ceiling fan. Situated on your bathroom ceiling, a more complex set up running into your loft space and vented externally. Obviously best placed upstairs rather than down due to the ducting placement. These can also often require the addition of condensation traps and drainage. I would be happy to discuss both options with you and offer my advice as to which would best suit your needs and requirements.
Can I decide where I want to put it in my bathroom?
An Extractor Fan has an important role to play in keeping your Knowle home’s moisture levels sub-optimal and your health optimal! With this in mind the placement of your Extractor Fan means I have several things to consider, and it would not just be where it looked best.
Upon inspection I would need to avoid any corners as this can hinder good air flow, I would not place it directly above your shower as the movement of the water actually pushes the air away from the Extractor Fan and it will be less efficient, I will ensure it is installed at the correct height for maximum effectiveness, I will steer away from any windows to avoid the air being drawn straight back out, I will ensure it is easily accessible for either myself to maintain or you as the homeowner to clean and lastly but possibly most importantly I will ensure it is in the right zone… by this I mean ensuring any electricals are placed in a safe zone away from any water ingress.
