Your Bathroom Vent Light Is Costing You More Money Than It Should.
For your consideration: Your Bathroom Vent Light Is Costing You More Money Than It Should.
Nothing sexy about this post, but here's a quick money saving tip for homes with those convenient little bathroom vent lights that suck out humid air: Only use them when you're also using the shower!
Why?
Well, if you live in a cold climate and are paying money to heat your house. You're probably paying a pretty big bill these days just to keep your home at 68 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Winter heating bills are a pain!
If you're running a hot shower with your bathroom door closed, then your hot water is adding heat to your bathroom space. It's also adding a lot of humidity. You don't want water anywhere in your bathroom except in the tub/shower, the sink and the toilet. Turn that vent light on to get that water away from your paint, woodwork and bathroom appliances!
If you've grown into the habit, however, of turning on your fan light whenever you enter your bathroom, then what you're also doing is sucking warm air out of that space during the cold months. Not good!
This makes your furnace, boiler and/or radiator work harder to compensate. This costs you more in heating expenses. THIS is something to think about . . .
Are you (or anyone in your family) guilty of this little sin?
The next time you enter your bathroom
Freeze!
and THINK.
Preventing heat loss through your bathroom vent fan will save you money by the simple breaking of a bad habit!
Good luck out there.
