Bathroom Fan Timer
Do you ever find yourself wondering if you left the bathroom fan running? Or maybe you’re diligent about turning it on during and after showers, but family members aren’t so consistent? A bathroom fan timer switch offers a simple, affordable solution to control humidity and prevent mold growth in your Huntsville home.
**Why Upgrade to a Timer Switch?**
Energy Savings: Bathroom fans, while low-wattage, can still add up if left running for hours. A timer ensures the fan runs only as long as needed to clear moisture. Let’s say your fan uses 30 watts and you typically leave it on for an extra 2 hours per day unnecessarily. That’s 60 watt-hours daily, or about 22 kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually. At Huntsville’s average electricity rate of $0.12 per kWh, that’s $2.64 saved *per year*, every year, just from that single fan. Scale that across multiple bathrooms or a higher wattage fan, and the savings increase significantly.
*Mold Prevention: Excess humidity breeds mold and mildew, leading to health problems and costly repairs. A timer ensures adequate ventilation without overdoing it.
*Convenience: Set the timer and forget it. No more worrying about remembering to turn off the fan. This is especially useful for kids or guests who might not be aware of the importance of proper ventilation.
