Forum Title: Bathroom exhaust fans
Do bathroom exhaust fans have to be switched with the lighting or can they be individually switched?

Unless some local ordinance requires it, I can't think of any requirement to have them come on at the same time.

As a HO as well, I'd say it's preferable to have the fan on a separate switch. Switch with a timer is best.

HCE:Design issue. Most commercial have fan on with lighting, and some local Health Depts require it, but I have no substantiation for that.
