Installing Exhaust Fans in your home brings many benefits. Exhaust fans help to remove smoke, odours, and pollutants, making the air in your home more breathable. They help improve the overall comfort of your home by maintaining circulation and removing excess moisture.

The average life of an exhaust fan is around 10-15 years. That being said, there is a significant difference between new and old exhaust fans. The key differences between new and old fans are their design, efficiency, and performance.

Design

Newer exhaust fans have a much more streamlined design, making them easier to install and operate. They are also available in various styles and sizes, allowing you to choose one that best fits your home’s needs. The design of the exhaust fan can also play a role in the airflow. Newer fans with improved airflow considerations, such as better blade design, can improve your space’s airflow and ventilation.

Efficiency

These days, newer exhaust fans are much more energy-efficient and come with new and advanced features compared to older ones. An examples of these advanced features are automatic controls that turn on when the device senses increased humidity or rising temperature levels. And with these features, newer exhaust fans are better at removing pollutants and moisture from your home while saving energy.

Performance

Speed control is a major component of performance for exhaust fans. Many newer exhaust fans come with variable controls which allow you to adjust the fan speed to your liking. Speed control features like this can be very useful in

spaces like bathrooms, where you may want a lower fan speed for quiet operation or a higher speed for better ventilation.

Noise

Noise can be a culprit when it comes to exhaust fans. Noise-reducing technologies such as insulated ducts, vibration dampers, and noise-absorbing materials help to minimize noise levels on newer models. Newer exhaust fans typically use these noise-reducing technologies and are much quieter than older ones.
