Eliminate humidity, automatically
Houses are built more tightly than ever before to maximize energy efficiency. That’s a good thing, but indoor air quality can suffer as a result. Unless mechanically ventilated, airborne pollutants and moisture stay trapped inside. Uncontrolled humidity inside can lead to unsightly mildew and foggy mirrors, but even slightly elevated humidity levels can lead to mold formation where you may not be able to see it. These problems add up to poor indoor air quality and unhealthy living environments.
The convenience of sensing technology in a wall control
By simply changing out an existing wall control with a humidity sensing control you can avoid replacing your existing ventilation fan, ducting or electrical connections. Installing the switch can be done in minutes with simple tools—no ladders, no mess, and no technology compatibility concerns.
How a Humidity Sensing Wall Control Works
A humidity sensing wall control responds to a rapid increase in humidity and automatically turns the fan on before moisture gets out of control and condenses on mirrors and windows. This is an ideal solution for high traffic bathrooms, the kids’ bathroom or for anyone who might leave the house before humidity is properly vented. Select a wall control that enables the homeowner to achieve the preferred personal humidity balance.
Adjust humidity sensitivity to preferred comfort levels
Comfortable humidity levels are a personal preference. What’s more, you may wish to adjust how sensitive the technology is to humidity changes during different times of the year. For example, in low-humidity environments or large rooms you may want to adjust the sensitivity to a higher setting. In high humidity environments or smaller rooms, it may be better to set the sensitivity lower. Wall controls with a sensitivity dial enable precise control of fan performance regardless of climate or season.
With auto shut-off, never worry about leaving the fan on
According to The Home Ventilating Institute, after a shower is used a ventilation fan should run for 20 minutes to adequately clear humidity and ensure moisture and condensation in the fan body and ducting is minimized. With auto shut-off you can leave the fan running without concern.
A built-in, user-adjustable delay shutoff timer allows runtime customization for specific ventilation needs. For example, run-time will need to be longer if you have a steam shower. This energy-efficient solution helps you ventilate properly without running your fan unnecessarily.
