If you're interested in installing new ventilation [exhaust fans](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/ventilating-fans-types-benefits-sizing.html), here are a few key points to consider: [![exhaust fans](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/exhaust-fan-kitchen-stove.jpg)](http://shutterstock.com) ## How Exhaust Fans Work An exhaust fan works to extract polluted, stale air out of a residence and also circulate fresh air into a home. There are a variety of fan models suited for different parts of the house, but the essential function remains the same. Improving indoor air quality can be much easier with the help of having more than one exhaust fan working in different rooms in the house. ## The Benefits of Exhaust Fans A myriad of particles and contaminants can negatively impact any home's indoor air quality. These problems can include dust mites, pet dander, pesticides and dangerous gas fumes. Activities such as cooking or bathing can even contribute to indoor air problems that can create health issues if left unresolved. Proper home ventilation is a crucial component to keeping harmful materials out of your home, protecting the health of family and pets. ## Where to Install Exhaust Fans A stovetop hooded exhaust fan in the kitchen removes fumes during cooking and keeps your home from smelling like whatever is being prepared. Bathrooms benefit from an exhaust fan by [removing humidity](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/keep-humidity-levels-under-control-dehumidification.html) in the room to prevent mold or mildew growth. An exhaust fan or two installed in the ceiling will help remove stale air that may accumulate in the upper portions of the house.
