How often should bathroom fans be cleaned?

We recommend a deep cleaning every 1 to 2 years. If the bathroom is used frequently for showers, annual cleaning is best to maintain airflow.

Can't I just vacuum the cover?

Vacuuming the cover helps, but it doesn't reach the motor or the back of the blades where the heavy buildup occurs. A surface clean doesn't restore the fan's performance.

My fan is very noisy. Will cleaning fix it?

In many cases, yes. Noise is often caused by dust buildup throwing the blades off balance. However, if the motor bearings are worn out, we may recommend replacing the unit.

Do you replace broken fans?

Our primary service is cleaning. However, if we inspect your fan and determine the motor is dead, we can advise you on replacement options.

How long does it take?

Bathroom fan cleaning is a quick service, typically taking 30-45 minutes per fan. It's easily added onto other services like duct or heat pump cleaning.

What is Bathroom Fan Cleaning?

Bathroom exhaust fan cleaning is a maintenance service that restores the function of your home's most important ventilation device. Over time, the fan motor and blades become caked with heavy dust and humidity, creating a paste-like buildup. We disassemble the unit, clean the housing, motor, and grille, and check the duct connection to ensure moist air is actually being vented outside.

Why Ventilation Matters

Your bathroom fan is the primary defense against mold. When it's clogged, it can't pull moisture out effectively. This trapped humidity leads to peeling paint, warping doors, and dangerous mold growth on walls and ceilings. A clogged fan also works harder, becoming noisy and eventually burning out, potentially posing a fire risk.
