Why doesn’t my bathroom have a vent fan?

I was recently giving a client a free estimate on their bathroom remodeling project in Palm Beach Gardens. The client asked me, “why doesn’t my bathroom have a vent fan? My kids’ bathroom does.”

Vent fans are great for getting excess moisture and unpleasant odors out of a bathroom, especially the modern super quiet high air flow volume units! But according the the building code used in our service area, (including Tequesta, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Lake Park, Riviera Beach, Palm Beach West Palm Beach, Royal Palm Beach, Wellington, Lake Worth, Lantana, Hypoluxo, and Boynton Beach), if the bathroom has a window that can be opened, the builder is not required to install a vent fan. The thinking was that a bathroom with a window would allow the homeowner to open the window to let in fresh air. The problem is that in Florida, at least 10 months out of the year, most of us don’t want to let the “fresh air” in, as it is too hot! A vent fan can be added fairly easily.

We also can replace the old cheap noisy fans that are typical original equipment in most homes. So whether you don’t have a vent fan in the bathroom you want remodeled, or if you have one but it roars or rattles, Palm Beach Builders will be happy to replace the old with a beautiful long lasting high volume super quiet vent fan, or install a new one where none exists.
