max power for a bathroom fan? Lacustral 06-05-2006
I've a little bathroom, I want to have the most powerful fan in there
that I can, without obviously overdoing it - like having a lot of wind in
there! I would put an inline fan in the attic. I am not sure how much would
be too much. I would like it to double as house ventilation, to empty the hot
air out of my house overnight, that's why I want a fan more powerful than
the minimum.

If you have a powerful bathroom fan, and it's too powerful, can you tell
me its CFM and what the square footage of your bathroom is?

Or, if you have a powerful bathroom fan, and it's NOT too powerful, same
thing? So I can get a ballpark idea of how much power is too much.

I could put a variable speed control on the fan, Fantech's inline fans
take a variable speed control that goes from 0-100% - so I
could put in a bathroom fan that's too powerful for the bathroom, and
use it dialed down when it's being used just for bathroom
ventilation. I guess - I do not know if there are hitches in that idea.

Thanks.
Laura
