Think about the last time you were in a public restroom. Chances are, it wasn't a pleasant experience. Public restrooms are so often unpleasant because they don't have proper ventilation. Without a way to get rid of the moisture and odours that naturally build up in bathrooms, they become breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria and other nasties. 

The good news is that you don't have to suffer the same fate in your home bathroom here on the Sunshine Coast. By installing an exhaust fan, you can get rid of the moisture and odours before they have a chance to take over. And when installing exhaust fans, there's no one better than the local team of electricians at Sparkies Plus. With over 20 years of experience in exhaust fan installation, our licensed electricians can help you choose and install the perfect fan for your bathroom - ensuring that it will provide years of trouble-free operation. 

How do exhaust fans work?

Exhaust fans work by drawing the moist and/or foul-smelling air out of your bathroom and venting it outdoors (or at least into the ceiling space). This not only removes the odours, but it also helps to prevent the formation of mould, mildew and moisture - which can cause all sorts of problems for your home, from jeopardising the structural integrity of your home to making your family members sick. 

By installing an exhaust fan matched explicitly to your bathroom size, ceiling height and aspect, you can be sure that your bathroom stays smelling fresh and looking great - no matter how many people use it daily. 

Types of exhaust fans 

There are two main types of exhaust fans - ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted. Ceiling-mounted fans are typically more powerful, as they often can move more air than their wall-mounted counterparts (make and model dependent, of course). Residential ceiling-mounted exhaust fans are cheaper to buy and often easier to install, so the upfront cost to have one installed is lower than a wall-mounted version. Not only do wall-mounted exhaust fans cost more to buy upfront, they are also more challenging to install (as both a hole needs to be cut on the inside wall as well as the external wall of the house. So, when would you choose to install a wall-mounted exhaust fan over a ceiling-mounted fan? Well, it's usually when there is no or limited space in the ceiling above the bathroom, and a wall-mounted exhaust fan is the only option.

No matter which type of fan you choose, you can rest assured knowing that our team at Sparkies Plus has the experience and expertise necessary to get the job done right. We'll work closely with you to determine which type of fan will best suit your needs before walking you through each step of the installation process - ensuring that you're delighted with the final product.
