Answer: Install the fan as close as possible to the source of moisture, such as above the shower or bathtub. This placement helps remove steam efficiently before it spreads throughout the room.
If the bathroom has multiple moisture sources or is large, a centrally located fan can help provide balanced ventilation. For larger bathrooms, consider multiple fans or a fan with higher capacity. |

Answer: As long as the wiring for your bathroom vent fans is attached to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and the fan is rated for a shower area, the best place to locate your vent fan is on the ceiling in or near the shower where it will do the most good. Vent fans that include a heater, however, should not be installed over a shower.
Another consideration is that the fan should be located away from the intake air source, such as a door or window (if the window will be open). If the window and door will be closed, make sure there is a 5/8” or greater gap under the door to allow fresh air into the room. |
