Our guess is that if you are seeing that much build-up on the outside of the grill, there is probably more in and around the motor. If that is not possible, using the vacuum extension to clean the outside of the grill as you described should not cause any issues.Air King Ventilationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523472677823929686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012728797418994725.post-8150616923921532352022-01-24T08:16:25.465-05:002022-01-24T08:16:25.465-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Air King Ventilationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523472677823929686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012728797418994725.post-51805404007006162532022-01-22T23:27:30.888-05:002022-01-22T23:27:30.888-05:00I have a “constant-on” exhaust/humidity fan, ceili...I have a “constant-on” exhaust/humidity fan, ceiling mounted, above my stackable washer/dryer unit in a small closet (I live in a newer apartment building, 4 years old). There are no power switches anywhere, and it’s very high up in a location that is very hard to reach. I’ve been living here for 4 years and it’s still running, never been serviced- but there is a TON of dust and/or what I assume is dryer lint debris, starting to build up on the outside of the vented cover, it’s pretty bad and can’t be good for the fan. Is it okay to use the extension on my vacuum cleaner and just quickly but carefully vacuum the dust debris off the outside of the vent cover? I just want to make sure there isn’t a serious risk of shock or being electrocuted. I really have no better options, and this buildup is prohibiting the fan from doing its job proper, and seems like a hazard in and of itself. I would really appreciate any input or advice you might have on this! <br />Thank you!

You are correct that newer, tighter homes need a solution for bringing fresh air into the home to balance it. This can be accomplished with natural ventilation (drafts in the home) or through a mechanical solution like the Air King QFAM fresh air intake machine. The product your are describing is either an ERV (energy recovery ventilator) or a HRV (heat recovery ventilator). These products exchange the air being exhausted with the air coming into the home while recovering the heat/humidity/cooling loss to put less stress on the HVAC system. Hope that helps.Air King Ventilationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523472677823929686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012728797418994725.post-80596056301093937112022-01-19T01:17:27.221-05:002022-01-19T01:17:27.221-05:00The dual speed bathroom exhaust fan - that sounds ...The dual speed bathroom exhaust fan - that sounds exactly like what's going on in the two-year old house we just bought. However, I thought that in the newer houses, such air-exchangers (used to address indoor air quality concerns in tightly sealed houses) would draw in outside air passing it over the pipe that carried the exhaust air, thus re-capturing most of the heat (in winter) in the exhausted air. Is this not done anymore?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012728797418994725.post-31128991684515614132021-09-09T18:01:09.242-04:002021-09-09T18:01:09.242-04:00Grateful for this information.
