Choosing the Right Exhaust Fan for Your Environment

There are a few factors you should consider before buying your vent exhaust fan at Sylvane. These will help you make the right choice:

• Room Size: Measure the square footage you need covered and match it to the CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating on the fan specs.
• Function: Specialist rooms need specialist fans. Bathrooms with heavy moisture might need high CFM. Kitchen fans need to be able to handle grease, for example.
• Installation Type: You may need a wall vent exhaust fan, a ceiling model, or even a ducted version.
• Noise level: You might prefer a quiet, "low-sone" fan for bedrooms or offices.
• Smart features: Some models offer timers or motion-activated models for hands-free operation.

FAQs

What size exhaust fan do I need for my bathroom/kitchen/laundry room?

Match size to room area with CFM ratings. Generally, bathroom fans are around 50–110 CFM, kitchens are 100–300 CFM, and laundry rooms are around 50–100 CFM.

Can I install a vent fan myself, or should I hire a professional?

We recommend hiring a professional, especially if there’s new wiring or ducting involved.

Where should the fan vent to? Can it go into an attic or crawl space?

Always vent outside, never into an attic or crawl space. This helps avoid moisture damage.

What’s the quietest type of vent exhaust fan?

Fans rated at 1.0 sones or less are extremely quiet. Inline models tend to be the quietest.

Are humidity sensor fans worth it?

Generally, yes. Why? They automatically switch on when moisture rises, which makes them much more effective (and cost-effective).

Can I use one fan to ventilate two rooms?

Some inline fans can serve multiple rooms, but duct layout and airflow balance are key.

What is CFM and how does it affect performance?

CFM (cubic feet per minute) measures airflow. The higher the CFM, the more air the fan moves.

 How do I maintain or clean my vent fan?

You should wipe the blades and grill (when off) once every 6–12 months.
