Hvac Vent in Shower

Matty20 | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

We are installing a new shower in a bathroom that previously had a clawfoot  tub with a shower.   There is an HVAC vent that was  over the old tub and will be in the new shower if left where it is.   Does this register need to moved ?

    Swap out the HVAC vent for a Fantech exhaust fan. Switch it to the bathroom lights. I don't know what the sone rating is but the fan is quieter than my new refrigerator.

    do you want air (warm or cool) blowing on you while you are soaking wet?
