    I looked after 3 residential homes for several years with around 120 private apartments. All the apartments had bathrooms without windows and I would say that a good 75% of the residents would turn the fan off permanently regardless of how many times I told them the reasons to have them on.

      I reckon the old one was knackered and loud, so they were worried the new one would keep them awake. New ones are much quieter as Delroy says

      Hi Amo. That's what she said she'd leave the light on if necessary rather than have 15 min overrun. It's quite a small flat. I suppose if the toilet is used late at night the fan may be a bit annoying, it's right next to the bedroom. thanks for watching.

    I don't think I've ever seen an exhaust fan with a run on timer type function here in Australia, but all these UK electricians I've seen fit them. Also in many bathrooms, the fans and lights have separate switches, though not all do.

    • @torsson2
      @torsson2 Год назад

      My pax fan in Sweden has Timer, auto humidity and if i flip a switch it will run until i flip it of. With humid setting you should be able to just give it max value and it will run whenever it needs to get humidity down. And it will lower and increase speed automaticly depending on the level of humidity.
