Bathroom fan timers In order to conserve energy in my house, we installed timer switches for our exhaust fans in our bathrooms. The timers conserve in two different ways. First and most obvious, this 10-minute interval timer automatically shuts off the fan based on which setting you press. In the past I have left the house in the morning or gone to sleep at night with that 120-volt, 0.700-amp fan running for up to eight hours unattended. With this switch, the maximum is one hour. The second function helps with water conservation, especially in the summer months. You can set the timer to help guide the length of your morning shower. Sometimes on a chilly morning, a 45-minute warm shower is not uncommon. I can now set the timer to 10 or 20 minutes, save a few gallons of water, and also make sure I’m not late for work!
