Bathroom Exhaust Fan
Would a bathroom that has a window, but no exhaust fan still be up to code.
Thanks. |

What terrible thing happens if a bathroom doesn't have an exhaust fan. I'm assuming code items have something to do with safety. |

Not safety, rather it is needed to keep the room from rotting and molding with all the high humidity most baths get. That is also why this is best left to LOCAL codes since local conditions make a bid difference in these matters. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

So, your saying that if the code requires it, and the homeowner can't do anything about it, then the contractors's bids for installing fans are higher than they would be if the homeowners could choose to live without them? :-) Jeff -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) "Truth exists; only falsehood has to be invented." |
