Free Exhaust Fan Seals (Draft Stoppers)
For Victorian Homeowners
Keep the cool air inside during the summer and shut it off outside during the winter. You can accomplish this by putting fan seals (draft stoppers) over the exhaust fan. The majority of Victorian homes have open exhaust fan vents that allow air to flow freely in and out. It becomes challenging to regulate indoor temperature when conditioned air frequently escapes, which ultimately results in higher energy use.

Why do I need to install draft stoppers?
When ceiling exhaust fans are turned off, it’s an inventive technique to stop unwelcome airflow between the ceiling area and your home. These draught excluders contribute to your home’s increased energy efficiency. Draft stoppers that are suitable aid in longer-lasting, more energy-efficient indoor temperature maintenance.
This implies that your air conditioner uses less energy and hence works less hard to keep the inside at a comfortable temperature.
The self-closing draft stoppers significantly lower air conditioning energy usage by more than 55%.

Exhaust Fan Seals (Draft Stoppers) FAQ's
An exhaust fan seal also known as draft stopper is part of a fan system that helps to prevent air from leaking out of the fan housing. The seal is usually made of a flexible material such as rubber or foam and is designed to fit around the fan’s intake and exhaust ports to create a tight seal. This helps to optimize the fan’s performance, reduce noise, and improve energy efficiency.
In order to ensure the best possible performance, it is important to periodically check and replace any worn or damaged exhaust fan seals. Here are some tips to help you do that:
Check the seal for any signs of wear or tear, such as cracks or tears.
Clean the seal using a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Examine the seal for any areas where the seal may be too loose or too tight.
Replace the seal if necessary.
