An Amp is a measurement of electrical current and can be obtained by dividing watts by volts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Example:<\/strong> A 36-watt<\/em> bathroom fan in the USA (120v) would be<em>: 36\/120= 0.3 amps<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An average residential bathroom fan draws 0.3 amps. The amperage is so small that it is not worth considering when calculating circuit loads. The amperage will affect whether the fan is energy star certified and how powerful it is. Most modern bathroom fans draw about 0.005 amps per CFM.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Older bathroom fans draw considerably more amps since the motors are less efficient and the overall fan design is poorer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noisy bathroom fans also tend to draw more amps. Vibrations caused by the fan make the fan uses more energy and therefore draw more amps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t worry though, there are no residential bathroom fans (except heated ones) that draw more than 1 amp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Just to bring things into perspective, an old-school incandescent lightbulb draws more amps than the average bathroom fan.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Watts Does Bathroom Fan Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Watt<\/em> is the electrical unit for the rate at which energy is generated or consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversion of energy into a usable form, such as movement or heat, can be measured in watts. The term was coined in 1882 and named after Scottish engineer James Watt who developed an improved steam engine with increased efficiency that had become ground-breaking to society at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An average residential bathroom fan uses about 36 watts.<\/strong> <strong>Watts can be easily used to calculate how much energy the fan uses over a period of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>36 watts 3 hours a day is: 36\/1000*3= 0.108 kWh <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watts, amps, and volts are closely related. You can always calculate one if you know the other two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example<\/strong>, you know that the fan draws 0.3 amps and you are in the USA (120 volts).  0.3*120= 36 watts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Reduce Bathroom Fan Electricity Consumption?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few easy ways to reduce energy consumption: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy a Timer Switch for Your Bathroom Fan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the beginning of the day is very busy, everybody tries to sleep till the last second and it is easy to forget things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s say the morning started with the typical family&rsquo;s morning chaos&mdash;everybody running around, trying to rush to work or school, and nobody remembered to turn off the bathroom fan. In that case, it would keep running all day until someone finally gets home and turns it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wouldn&rsquo;t it be nice in this scenario if the fan would stop working automatically after 30 minutes it was last turned on? This will not only save money but extend the lifespan of the fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the fan is left on for 3 hours extra every day it will cost an additional $65 in electricity costs over a 10 year period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Investing in a timer switch can, in the long run, save you more money than it costs. Furthermore, consider the heat loss from excess ventilation during the winter months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n    <a data-amazonimages=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"ENERLITES 4-Hour Countdown Timer Switch, 5-10-30-60 Min, 2-4 Hour, For Bathroom Fans, Heaters, Lights, LED Indicator, 120VAC 800W, No Neutral Wire Required, UL Listed, HET06-J-W, White\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B083F84NP2?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41x8Tg5us-L._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"ENERLITES 4-Hour Countdown Timer Switch, 5-10-30-60 Min, 2-4 Hour, For Bathroom Fans, Heaters, Lights, LED Indicator, 120VAC 800W, No Neutral Wire Required, UL Listed, HET06-J-W, White\" title=\"ENERLITES 4-Hour Countdown Timer Switch, 5-10-30-60 Min, 2-4 Hour, For Bathroom Fans, Heaters, Lights, LED Indicator, 120VAC 800W, No Neutral Wire Required, UL Listed, HET06-J-W, White\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41x8Tg5us-L._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"ENERLITES 4-Hour Countdown Timer Switch, 5-10-30-60 Min, 2-4 Hour, For Bathroom Fans, Heaters, Lights, LED Indicator, 120VAC 800W, No Neutral Wire Required, UL Listed, HET06-J-W, White\" title=\"ENERLITES 4-Hour Countdown Timer Switch, 5-10-30-60 Min, 2-4 Hour, For Bathroom Fans, Heaters, Lights, LED Indicator, 120VAC 800W, No Neutral Wire Required, UL Listed, HET06-J-W, White\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-central-palette-3-color has-text-color\"><blockquote><p>If you are looking for a timer switch, head over to my list of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/best-bathroom-fan-timer-switch-9-excellent-options\/\" data-lasso-id=\"17\">top 9 timer switches<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in a Moisture Sensing Fan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some bathroom fans come with a really useful extra feature&mdash;a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/humidty-sensing-fan-worth-it\/\" data-lasso-id=\"18\">moisture sensor<\/a>.

It can be a challenge to pick the one that is right for your needs. It is wise to do some digging around and find out which one is optimal for your bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I recently discovered when shopping for a new fan there are way too many options available with features that you will never need on a bathroom fan. This makes it difficult to concentrate on what really matters: noise level and CFM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration\" class=\"wp-image-33350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-864x1080.jpg 864w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-960x1200.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-819x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration\" class=\"wp-image-33350 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-819x1024.jpg.webp 819w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-240x300.jpg.webp 240w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-768x960.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-864x1080.jpg.webp 864w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-960x1200.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration-150x188.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration.jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bathroom-fan-CFM-guide-illustration.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The general recommendation stated by the <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hvi.org\/resources\/publications\/bathroom-exhaust-fans\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"21\">Home Ventilation Institute<\/a> is a minimum of 1 CFM per 1 sq. feet of space.<\/strong> This means for a 50 sq. feet bathroom you will need a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/best-50-cfm-bathroom-exhaust-fan-3-great-options\/\" data-lasso-id=\"22\">50 CFM fan<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this is a generalization and does not apply to very big bathrooms or when you have multiple showers.

This is especially true for the smaller, cheaper models that go through walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Find out if You Have a Heated Fan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In case the electricity cost for the heated fan scared you, I will let you know how you can easily check if you have a heated fan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using only the exhaust fan the electricity usage is the same as a normal fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By checking if one of the settings blows air back into the room you can determine if it is a heated fan.<\/strong> Normal exhaust fans only suck the air out of the room.  There should be an extra switch for the heater so that it is possible to use the heater independently of the exhaust fan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long\">How Long Should a Bathroom Fan Run After a Shower?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us start by saying that it is important not to forget to turn on the bathroom fan before you start showering, then you can be sure that all the moist air will be directed out the moment it appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are forgetful, or if there are small children in the house then I recommend using a<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/humidty-sensing-fan-worth-it\/\" data-lasso-id=\"26\">humidity-controlled bathroom fan or switch<\/a>.<\/strong> This will guarantee that the fan is always turned on when the humidity level rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you have finished enjoying your relaxing shower<strong> it is recommended by the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hvi.org\/resources\/publications\/home-ventilation-guide-articles\/how-much-ventilation-do-i-need\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"27\">Home Ventilating Institute<\/a> to<\/em> keep the bathroom fan on for a minimum of  20 minutes after the shower<\/strong>, provided you have a correctly sized fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However this is the absolute minimum, normally it takes<\/strong> <strong>at least 40 minutes to properly dry out the room. <\/strong>This of course will depend on your climate, the time of year, and how careful you are at drying the walls and floor after the shower. All the water on those surfaces will evaporate and can cause excess moisture build-up and potential mold problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a picture from my smart home system that monitors the humidity in the bathroom. You can see how much the humidity rises with every shower, and how long it takes to drop back to normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"Smart home system that monitors the humidity in the bathroom.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-34150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom-960x700.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom-150x109.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Smart home system that monitors the humidity in the bathroom.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-34150 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom-960x700.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom-150x109.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smart-home-system-that-monitors-the-humidity-in-the-bathroom.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning off the fan too soon or completely forgetting to turn it on can cause major problems over time including mold, mildew, and even structural damage in the most severe cases.
