Default Can a bathroom fan be too big?

If the calculations for a bathroom exhaust fan (cubic feet + equivalent
duct length) indicate an 80 CFM fan, is there any issue with using a 110
CFM fan?


Only problem is it will suck out more heat from your house, but it
will also get rid of the stink or excess moisture from the shower
faster. I have an 80 CFM and it works for us.

Be sure to get a quiet one. Panasonic has some of the best for noise.

I just crack the window an inch before jumping in the shower and
there is NO humidity problem (particularly when it's -23c outside)


Panasonic was the plan.

I want to replace the current fan with a fan heater combo. I will be
running a dedicated 20A circuit.
