If you have spent any amount of
time reading through our website or these blog posts, it is probably clear that
we think (along with many organizations) that proper ventilation is a fairly
big deal. A properly ventilated bathroom can benefit you and your home by
removing odors and more importantly, humidity that can cause the build up of
mold and mildew.
A big issue is that the fan needs to be turned on to be
effective. There are host of reasons why it doesn’t get turned on, but there is a way to override almost all
of them – adding a motion sensor.
A motion sensor works by turning the exhaust
fan on when it detects the room is being occupied. Once it no longer senses
motion in the room, it will stay on for a preset amount of time and then turn
off. It will run for longer than the room is occupied to make sure any residual
steam or moisture from a shower is exhausted out of the room. The automation is
the key part of this. There is nothing to turn on or off. This is especially
great for rental properties where occupants might not be as diligent as you
might want them to be with the ventilation of the home.
Adding a motion sensor
can be done fairly easily. If you need to install a new fan or replace an
existing one, there are many options that have a built in motion senor. If
replacing the fan is not something you need to do, motion sensing wall switches
are available. These simply replace the current switch the fan is wired to.
