Where Do Bathroom Vents Take the Air? The job of a bathroom exhaust fan is to take air inside your bathroom and vent it outside of your house. Bathrooms are hot spots for humidity, moisture, and bad odors. Bathroom fans help to protect you from each of these things and potentially save your house.
Here, This Old House general contractor Tom Silva shows the proper way to install a bath vent fan. In this particular installation, Tom ran the exhaust duct into the attic and through a sidewall to the outdoors. Other venting options includes running the duct up through the roof or down through the soffit.
The best bathroom exhaust fan venting option exits through your roof. However, other choices exist if a roof vent installation is not possible.

Exhaust fans are the most effective method for bathroom ventilation, and they come in three main types: ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, and inline exhaust fans. Ceiling-mounted fans are the most common and vent air through ductwork to the outside, making them ideal for most bathrooms. Broan-NuTone™ exhaust ventilation fans allow your home to exhale, eliminating humidity, odor and airborne particulates from your bathrooms, closets, mud room, laundry, work out space and more.
Ventilation fans improve indoor air quality by venting moist air quickly outside, which helps to control mold and mildew growth. We researched dozens of bathroom exhaust fans and tested a few options in our own homes to find the best exhaust fans for your bathroom.
