To install an attic vent fan, first determine the best location for it on your roof. Then, cut a hole in the roof and install the fan according to the manufacturer's instructions. Finally, connect the fan to a power source and ensure proper ventilation in your attic. It's recommended to hire a professional for this task if you're not experienced with roofing work.

Can I sent the exhaust into my attic or do I need a vent?
I would reccomend that you have an external vent for the air to go thru and not just into the attic alone.
Is a dryer vented to the attic unsafe?
Yes! Venting your dryer to the attic is a bad idea. The dryer vent carries all the wet, humid air from the clothes dryer, along with the fine lint and dust particles that made it past the dryer's lint filter.If the dryer vents to the attic, the attic will get coated over time with the lint, and the increased humidity from the wet air venting into the enclosed space makes ripe conditions for some serious mold growth.If there is no external wall near the dryer where you can vent it directly to the outdoors, extend the dryer vent through the attic to an external attic vent, so that it can vent to the outdoors.

Even with out ceiling fan on moisture is raining down the sides of the wall in the bathroom. The fan seems OK but we can't find an outside vent for it. What do you suggest?
Some times the bathroom fan is vented to the soffits. To see what the soffit looks like go to related links below. Turn on the fan and go out to where the eve troughs are near the bathroom and listen for the exhaust noise. If you have access to the attic see if you can locate the fan from above. Attic venting is a poor type installation but it is done quite often to save on labour costs. In exhaust fans that vent into the attic, in the winter time ice will form from the vent pipe and soak the ceiling insulation when it thaws. If at all possible, get the pipe to the outside for venting and install a back draft damper. The back draft damper is the same type that you would find on a dryer installation.
