[Greenbuilding] bath fan (was dryer vent)

[Matt Dirksen]

I have two small-ish bathrooms back to back in my house. One had a lousy old
Nutone in it and the other didn't have a vent at all. I installed a single
Fantech unit in the attic above, and split the ductwork into both bathrooms.
I then had an electrician put in a three way switch in both bathrooms (with
timers).

So one Fantech now serves both bathrooms, very quietly and very powerfully.

I totally recommend them, and just spec'd one today for two back to back
bathrooms in a project I'm working on.
