Anyone ever changed your exhaust fan to a ceiling fan. We always leave the doors to the bathroom open to the bedroom because the bathroom is pretty small... so I feel like there would be plenty of air movement with a ceiling fan rather than the exhaust fan.
Basically the wife is bitching about the bathroom being too hot too long after a shower. ..Takes me 5 minutes to get ready after a shower.. Takes her 45 minutes and I'll agree it does get pretty damn hot in there.
Just say no...Works with my wife...Like hell it does.
In our high desert climate, we don't have humidity, we even have to make rust for shit likes gates, but keep the exhaust fan AND get a ceiling fan to move the air...We have ceiling fans in every room even in my garage, they rock.
I thought the purpose of the exhaust vent fan was to rid the bathroom/household of someones stinking ass shit fumes, am I missing something here? :SHTF
Shitcan your garbage $15 bathroom fan your cheap ass builder installed as per "code". A decent quality unit with the proper ducting will solve the problem.

Not an expert, but I was told that the fan needs to remove enough air to keep the mirror from fogging up (not scientific, but that seems to work for us). It could be your wife likes long hot showers, but when she gets out to dry off, the humidity makes her feel "sticky" or sweaty. That's probably why she wants a ceiling fan ... click that baby on high, and you'll be cool as a cucumber.
Now, with that said, there are small ceiling fans that are certified for use in bathrooms. You could always run an exhaust fan in conjunction with the ceiling fan to make her happy.
FANTECH Exhaust Fan...... These fans are "ultra quiet" and all you will hear is the air, make sure to properly size the CFM for the room size. PANASONIC Exhaust fans are pretty good too! Put ANY exhaust fans on a timer.
BTW! IF your wife wants to vent a fan into the bedroom do this test: Buy a Home Depot 5 gallon bucket and take a "Mexican Burrito shit" into the bucket and leave it in the bed room...... Then tell her: Honey, THIS is why you need an exhaust fan!
I just installed a panasonic. Amazing how quiet a 140cfm exhaust fan can be. I also installed a humidistat switch in place of the normal light switch bc my wife wouldn't turn the fan on when showering.
I have a bungalow with a finished upstairs so not installing a outside vent. I mount a small desk fan high, near the ceiling, to a shelf bracket and wired it to a timer that fits a standard electrical outlet box. Just for circulating air to dry out the bathroom and works great. However, isn't going to cool off the wife during a 45 minute get ready session.
There is a fan there, and it does work. She doesnt take really long hot showers but has some other health issues and the heat is what affects here most. The mirror most definitely fogs up though when the shower is ran.
