Hi,
I am looking to upgrade the cheap builder installed exhaust fans in my
bathrooms. They are incredibly loud.
I can find lots of nice quiet ones, but they all required 4 inch (or
greater) ducts. The only 3 inch duct vents I can find are...cheap and
loud.
Does anyone know of a decent fan that will work with 3 inch ducts?
Thanks
Steven

For the home as a whole, your comment makes some sense. However since
that warm moist air stuck in the smallest room in the house means mold and
mildew, they do make sense. Even your examples do not apply at all likely
combinations of conditions.

I think you can get an adaptor that will connect the 4" to the 3". It will
make the fan a little louder than it should be, but if you buy a good
quality quiet fan it will be a lot quieter than the cheap one you have now.
Have you checked out the Panasonice "Whisper" fans? They're the wuietest
(and most energy efficient) on the market. They're expensive, but good. Good
luck.

bath exhaust fans are a bad idea anyway for a home...
in the winter they draw heated moist air outside,,,,instead... after
your shower, just open the inside door and keep that warm moist air in
your house..
in the summer, open a window...
if your using central AC in the summer, you are still better off
closing the AC vent in the bath and opening the window...

Use a 4 inch duct nothing less than 125cfm,s to make it worthwhile and
insulate the duct if you live where it snows
