FAQs
What are the main advantages of installing a high-capacity exhaust fan in my Bean Station home or business?
A properly sized high-capacity exhaust fan quickly removes stale air, excess heat, moisture, and airborne contaminants such as cooking odors, chemical fumes, and humidity. This improves indoor air quality, helps prevent mold and mildew, protects finishes and electronics, and reduces the load on your air-conditioning system—saving energy and extending equipment life.
How do I determine the correct fan size (CFM) for my space?
Exhaust fan capacity is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). To find the right size, multiply the room’s volume (length × width × ceiling height in feet) by the recommended air changes per hour (ACH). Kitchens often need 15–20 ACH, workshops 10–12 ACH, and bathrooms 8–10 ACH. Divide that result by 60 to convert to CFM. Our technicians can perform a detailed calculation on-site to ensure the fan meets local codes and your specific ventilation goals.
Will a high-capacity exhaust fan increase my energy bills?
Modern high-capacity fans use efficient, brushless EC or variable-speed motors that consume far less power than older shaded-pole models. Although they move more air, they run only when needed and often incorporate humidity or VOC sensors. Because they expel hot, moist air that forces your HVAC to work harder, a properly controlled fan can actually lower overall energy consumption by reducing cooling and dehumidification loads.
Are high-capacity exhaust fans noisy?
Today’s premium units feature sound-dampening housings, dynamically balanced blades, and insulated ductwork, allowing them to run at 1–3 sones—equivalent to a quiet refrigerator. Remote inline or rooftop fan configurations can move the motor farther from living areas for near-silent operation. During installation, we use vibration-isolating mounts and flexible connectors to keep noise levels minimal.
What maintenance is required to keep an exhaust fan operating efficiently?
Routine maintenance is straightforward: clean or replace the grille and any washable filters quarterly, inspect ductwork for obstructions or leaks, and lubricate bearings if the manufacturer calls for it (many modern motors are permanently lubricated). Our Bean Station maintenance plans include annual airflow testing, electrical checks, and cleaning to ensure your fan maintains rated CFM and energy efficiency.
Can your team integrate a new exhaust fan with my existing HVAC and smart home system?
Yes. We can link high-capacity exhaust fans to your HVAC controls, smart thermostats, or home automation hubs using relays, wired or wireless modules, and manufacturer APIs. This allows coordinated operation based on temperature, humidity, or occupancy sensors. Integrated controls prevent unnecessary venting during extreme outdoor conditions and provide real-time monitoring through your smartphone or building management system.
