The fan in your southern Utah kitchen is essential in removing excess moisture from the air when cooking, however improper ventilation can lead to mold. There are two different types of kitchen fans typically found in homes. The basic kitchen exhaust fan circulates the air through a filter and releases it up into the room again away from the cooking source. This makes it easier to see what you’re doing when cooking but does not eliminate the moisture from the room. Some homes have kitchen fans that ventilate the warm damp air out of the room but direct it to attics where mold can breed. Other homes are fortunate enough to have kitchen fans ventilated to the exterior of the home and these are ideal in extraditing the mold breeding air. While this type of fan is optimal in mold prevention, there is still the danger of the air duct having cracks or seams that allow the air to seep into the walls before it can be properly expelled outside. If you are worried about potential mold damage in the kitchen, attic or walls of your home and are interested in installing correct kitchen fan ventilation call HiCaliber today at (435) 674-9338 or visit us online at http://801website.com/hicaliber
