Comments From Our Pros

Answer: Typically in the ceiling above the toilet.
KRAOS LLC
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: I recommend placing the exhaust fan where it will be most beneficial: adjacent to the shower! Make sure the GFCI of the fan is rated for a shower and that it moves enough air to get the job done.
