Bathroom Exhaust Fan ......With Timer?

Try

You can adjust the humidity sensitivity for the sensor and the shut off time on the unit. Uses standard wall switches and costs about $125 if I remember correctly.

The ones I found at the big box stores were waaaay too loud for my tastes.

It is a Leviton timer switch, comes in two versions a 20 amp one that is rated for motors such as a fan, and a 5 amp one for incandescent lamps. They also are available in different timings, I cannot remember but I think the maximum times are 15 minutes, 30 minutes and one hour with the buttons for shorter intervals. Any Leviton dealer should have them available. You can also find them -- and many other great items -- on the Leviton website.

In addition to the standard timers others have mentioned, you might be interested in a "time-delay off" switch such as this one:

It's a switch which when shut off still runs the fan for an additional period of time, settable from 1 to 60 minutes. There is also an additional switched power lead which shuts off immediately, in case you wish to control a light and a fan from the same switch. I'm quite happy with mine. One "feature" which is not described in the documentation is that if power comes on after a power failure and the switch is off, the fan still runs for the time delay period.

I wonder if there is a fan, or a wall switch for one, that includes a timer. What I would like is to have it run a set time, like 30 min., for showers and then shut off automatically. Is there such a thing?

I have one something like this

Lowes link worked for me.......

Mine came from Lowes.

I am considering the Leviton 4255-Ivory Multi Timer Switch for use with a Panasonic FV-08VQL3; see:

Strange - my Lowe's has it. Now I have to find a 3 hole wall plate with one large opening. Found a sectional one, but have never seen them. Will have to check it out. Thanks.

Of course. Most/many motels and RV places use them.

Mine is similar..Its a GE 'decora' match switch with buttons for 10-20-30-60 min $ 9.99 up here in Canada

Take a look at this fan from Broan:

I second the GE model. Real nice and uses standard faceplates too.

You can get them all over on ebay too.

Broan fans are no comparison to Panasonic units.

If the original poster is also choosing the type of units to use, do alot of research and ask you local plumbing suppy house too. (many carry fans too)

How quiet the fan is, is one of the most important long term things you have to look at.
