Really a waste of energy to run a fan if you are not in the room. The fan motor actually provides a little heat and no cooling.

You need to run the exhaust fan when you are takeoff a shower to keep humidity down.

Yes, we love it and absolutely would. So much better than the so called exhaust fan that is put in.

Picture this...a hot & humid Florida day. Just washed your hair and you are now blow drying it. Nothing better than the cooling breeze wafting down upon you. Having had one in each of our homes and we would highly recommend it. However, our initial reaction was...WHAT?

Always have ceiling fans in my home especially in master bedroom for air flow to cool down in bed . So hot here in Florida. I have 7 in my house. Each room.

I’m always warm so I find it keeps the bedroom cool without having to cool the entire house.

Sorry. I misread. I have an exhaust fan in bath. Makes. Big difference in keeping bathroom dryer. I leave it on for about 15 minutes after shower.

WE just had one installed last month. We have a Lantana and my wife felt that with the door closed it got too hot in the master bath. We had Pike's electric install a small ceiling fan with a light that was able to fit flush mount so it's unobtrusive. The switch for the ceiling light was replaced with a switch that controls the light and the fan speeds. My wife is very happy.

We put in a heat-a-lator instead.

There is also exhaust fan in the shower area, toilet, and main bathroom.

In practice, the toilet closet fan is running in it's enclosed closet (door closed), the exhaust fan is running in the semi enclosed roman shower, and the heat is running in the bath to have it toasty when I am out of the shower. The exhaust fan in the main bathroom is off.

All three fans are on timer switches. It is a wasteful luxury but it feels great and is not steamy.

I added one after a year in this house and it was a huge improvement! The 2 small ceiling exhaust fans do not extract enough air for my 12'X18' master bath to effectively remove the humidity. A small 20" three blade 3 speed ceiling fan quickly circulates the air and quietly eliminates the damp feeling. I use it every day after a shower and in my opinion it is a must do improvement.

Love mine!!

Excellent option to help keep bathroom dry and reduce chances of mold after shower/bath.
Use a moisture rated fan, with a wall speed control switch

Default Master Bath Fan

Couldn't agree more! Have always had ceiling fans in all baths (in addition to the exhaust fan). If they are unnecessary, why not just put exhaust fans in every room and eliminate all fans altogether. Of course that's ridiculous just like not using fans wherever and whenever they contribute to air movement.

I had one installed “to stay cool” while getting dressed, applying makeup and doing hair! Love it and would definitely do again! I also have one in the kitchen as, gets too warm when cooking, baking etc. Prefer air movement to turning A/C down even more..

Reading these messages makes mean wonder if many of you have ever go outside in summer , I would have to wear a jacket and hat at the temps you keep house and the breeze from all the ceiling fans . Having fans going when you are out of room does nothing but waste energy, my fans are mostly used as another part of the decor of home , usually put them on when I have guests, , the only fan I use regularly is in the bedroom , I put it on low and with the window open I’m fine I’m 30 years in Florida and I’ve managed to keep my mirrors from fogging up without a fan
