Re: Bath Fan Venting

Is there any difference between venting bathroom fans through roof or out a
wall? Is one way better?

I'd prefer not to cut a hole in my roof, but to vent through a wall I'll
have to run 25' of duct.

Thanks.



Careful if that 25 ft run is thru the attic and
it gets cold where you are. Often, condensation
inside the duct occurs and runs back down to the bath.

Any chance you could mount the fan itself right in
the outside wall? They make a bath fan just for that.
