What is an "exhaust fan"?
An exhaust fan is a type of fan that helps remove stale air, moisture, or odors from an enclosed space, often installed in kitchens, bathrooms, or attics. It works by pulling air out of the room and venting it outside, helping to maintain good air quality. Exhaust fans are commonly used in areas where humidity or cooking odors can build up, preventing mold growth and improving comfort. They can be either wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or built into windows.
Examples

Installing an exhaust fan in the kitchen can help clear cooking smells quickly.
