Extractor fans don’t only remove smells, they are also an essential part of removing excess moisture from your home.
It is important to use bathroom extractor fans whenever you take a bath or shower in order to avoid future problems from damp and mould. We cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused by damp where extractor fans have not been used properly.
In bathrooms without a window, you will find that the fan continues to run even after being turned off. This is because it is fitted with a timer to ensure that steam and humid air continues to be extracted after you have left the room.
If your extractor fan isn’t working:
Why is my bathroom extractor fan leaking water?
How do I maintain and clean my bathroom extractor fan?
The fan in your utility room works in a very similar way to your bathroom fan. It’s designed to keep the room fresh and help prevent it from becoming too humid. For any issues with this appliance, refer to the bathroom extractor fan guide above.
