Amazon Canada Product Reviews – Timer Switch for Ventilator

This review product is a timer switch for a bathroom exhaust fan.

In the winter, homes in Calgary or Edmonton are very cold, but when the weather suddenly warms up, if the humidity in the house is not managed properly, a phenomenon called Attatic Rain occurs, which causes water leaks in the ceiling.

Therefore, in places with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, you must take good care to prevent the humidity from increasing to prevent water leaks.

So, when I shower in the bathroom, I turn on the exhaust fan and then use the bathroom. Sometimes, because the humidity is high, I turn it on and then forget to go back and turn it off.

So, if you put a timer on the bathroom exhaust fan and leave it on for 10-20 minutes, it will automatically turn off, which is very convenient.

For this reason, while looking for a timer switch, I found this reasonably priced product on Amazon and installed it.

Unfortunately, the deal for 2 for $37.59 has now ended.

Now $44 each! wow! I guess I’ll have to wait for the next sale.

The above product can only be used if there is a Neutral Line (white wire) in the switch box. Very old homes may not have a neutral line on the switch box. In this case, you should use a manual timer like the one below, not an electronic one.
