    Perfect presentation, exactly what I needed. In a cold climate, the continuous venting removes valuable heat causing furnaces to cycle much more often. I know this because in my previous house (large) in a northern climate, my furnace would typically NOT come on if the thermostat was set for a 3 degree Celsius temp difference between day and night. Now living in a brand new smaller house in a milder winter climate, it takes only about 4-5 hours to drop the inside temp 3 degrees and triggering the furnace. How can this be called efficient? GK

      Exactly. We had the fan installed as part of a weatherization program. I called them bc it was cold during the winter. In the midwest, it makes no sense for showering or for constant use in the winter. I can crack windows but it's freezing when taking a shower.

    • @CMason-yr9ks

      Or they have shares in an exhaust fan company. ha ha. But I mean really there has to be a better answer a better way then money for heat going out into space and there will be NO enjoyment soaking in the tub 5 or 6 months out of the year. Some knew ideas are not sensible, not practical, don't work they need to go back to the drawing board or maybe think tank! I personally can't pay higher heating cost trying to take a simi comfortable shower.

    THANK YOU! A man worked all day today to install a “bathroom exhaust fan” in my bathroom (via an energy-saving program). The program did not inform me, however, that the fan would subject me to 24/7 noise from that moment forward, with no way to ever turn it off. (I discovered that as the installer was leaving.)The only way to get peace would be to turn off the breaker to the entire upstairs of my house. Thanks to your video, I took off the cover, pulled the white plug out, and QUIET!!!!! THANK YOU.

    The fan is not for humidity reasons. It is code in new homes because the tight insulation of new construction limits fresh air coming into the house, the fan causes negative pressure in the house drawing in fresh air.

You seen to know a lot about this subject so I'm wondering why I now live in a 2 year old 2 family home or duplex and I can hear my neighbors as much as I heard my neighbors in a 25 year old apartment. So if more building money go to tighter insulation isn't there another way to achieve the same outcome? Thanks for your time. c

The always running fan sounds like white noise which has always been a miserable sound for my ears & me and if that wasn't enough the bathrooms staying so much colder in the winter not real fun right out of the shower.

    I replaced a bathroom fan - manual switch with a timer switch. I'm tempted to replace it with one of those humidity detecting switches like the "Leviton In-Wall Humidity Sensor & Fan Control". This laundry room seems like a good candidate for that too so that it automatically kicks on when needed.

      In my state there seems to be a line not to be cross between building code and leading institutions ( mortgages ). There has to be a working fan even if by an on/off switch. Been a BIG PAIN in my ears, wallet and all the chill bumps after a shower. Dealing with this is one of thought things I would not wish on anyone. Although there are probably 100's or 1000's of people this is not bothering at all, I just haven't met the yet.

    Having insane smoke from wildfires. My entire house smells horrible and even with sophisticated air purifiers, we’re coughing with sore throats. The rooms with exhaust fans are the clear culprits. There is a real high switch in the laundry room- does this control all of the continuous fans, or just the laundry? Is it safe to switch off for the time being since the air quality inside is hazardous? Thanks in advance.

    I'm not an electrician at all. I followed you till you said the red goes to the fan and so one assumes the black wires are all hot coming in from the left. But then you say your going to switch the black wire that goes up to the fan. So I noticed a black wire coming from the right along with the red wire. So that black wire is keeping the fan on constantly, But what I don't get is what was that red wire for if the fan is really controlled by that extra black wire from the right.
    I have a fan switch that has 4 positions. Light, Light+fan, Fan+heater. I wish I could disable all but the light. I have a family member with dimentia and they leave them all on thinking they turned off the light. I managed to disconnect and tie off the yellow wire that goes to the heater. But disconnecting the blue wire doesn't change anything. The fan+light still turn on. All together i have a Yellow, blue, red, black wires.

    Hi, We live in an apartment. Our bathroom has no windows and the bathroom fan comes on everytime we turn on the light. I disconnected it (just like you did in your video) because we bathe our 2 year old in the bath tub and the fan blows cold air directly towards the tub. Is it ok if I simply leave the fan disconnected. I guess I'm thinking if we should be concerned with mold or anything like that if I leave the fan disconnected permanently? Great video and Thank you.

(Written on the relay is w-m/rbm 134-40102-101d) Not sure what activates the relay to turn the fan on and off. Would really just like to eliminate this relay and and operate the fan manually with the switch. Any pointers as how to search youtube for instructions? Your video is close to what I'm looking for.

      Believe it or not, that’s for whole-house ventilation. I have one too. A controller on or near the furnace turns on the fan and opens a fresh air damper for a set amount of time every hour.

      Determine if it’s an electrical issue or the motor is toast. Open it and use a non-contact voltage tester to ensure it’s getting power. If it is, the motor is dead. You’d need to find the model number and contact the manufacturer to see if you can get a replacement motor.

    Here's your rule of thumb if you don't know. If it can't hold up 2 pieces of toilet paper the motor is burned up.

      Good to know, but this was brand new. Not defective.

      @@handydadtv I understand that. Also maybe I should have been more clear. I learned that in reference to the bathroom vent fans. I was just thinking both rules apply for this and hoped someone else might love the knowledge and pass it along to others.

    So my exhaust fan runs all the time in my laundry room but there's a window in my laundry room. Do I really need to have it running all the time? It seems most of these comment have the fan running because there's no window.

      Odds are, it’s running to provide fresh air ventilation in a very tight modern house. Your HVAC system probably has a fresh air intake somewhere (mine is through the roof) and that fan exhausts stale air, creating slightly negative pressure in the house, so fresh air can enter.

    I dont even have a switch , just an annoying 24/7 noisy fan that sucks the heat out of my freezing cold canadian winter home , makes me not even want to shower because getting out is like walking outside into the cold . Stupid , stupid , stupid .

      Maybe you could add a humidistat so it only runs when you shower.

    why would you want to do this.... that is your primary venting of your home. without this your windows, toilets will begain to mold and will effect what you are breathing in

      They wanted to work it manually. That doesn’t mean they’ll just leave it off. They intend to use it when they want.
