Here are some tips about selecting a bathroom fan, as well as a guide to some of the different features.

• Be careful about the installation position: Your fan must be installed in such a way that the air gets blown outside your home. So, even before buying a fan, you must know where you want to install it first. If you choose the wrong place for installation, the usefulness of the fan is reduced.

• Additional features: Look for the additional features like integrated lights or built-in heaters. These features make the fan more useful.
