Utility Room Extractor Fans
Utility room extractor fans help clear steam, odours and damp air caused by washing machines, dryers and laundry drying indoors. Without proper ventilation, these spaces can quickly suffer from condensation and mould, especially in colder months.
At CM Electrical, we supply a focused range of utility room extractor fans from Vortice. These fans are designed for everyday use, offering strong airflow, low noise and compact builds that suit smaller rooms with regular moisture build-up. Options include surface-mounted and inline duct fans to match your space and setup.
Where Are Utility Room Fans Used?
These extractor fans are made for enclosed utility spaces where moisture and odours need to be removed quickly and reliably. Common uses include:
● Utility and laundry rooms in homes or flats
● Combined kitchen and laundry areas
● Drying cupboards or enclosed airing rooms
● Cupboards housing washing machines or water tanks
They help reduce moisture levels in the air and prevent damp patches, mould growth and stale smells from lingering in your home.

Choosing the Right Fan for a Utility Room
When selecting an extractor fan for your utility space, think about:
● Whether you want a wall-mounted or ducted fan
● The size of the room and how often you use washing or drying appliances
● If a timer or overrun feature would help keep air clear after use
● The noise level, especially in small or open-plan homes
● If you need a backdraught shutter to block incoming air when the fan is off
All our product listings include airflow ratings and technical details to help you choose the right fit for your space.

FAQs
Do I need an extractor fan in a utility room?
Yes, if you use a dryer or hang laundry indoors. A fan helps reduce condensation, stop mould forming and keep the air fresh.
What size fan is right for a utility room?
Most rooms will need a 100mm or 125mm fan. For larger spaces or longer duct runs, consider a 150mm inline model.
Can I use a bathroom fan in a utility room?
Some fans are suitable for both, but always check airflow ratings. Utility rooms often need stronger ventilation than a typical bathroom.
Is a timer fan useful in a utility space?
Yes. A timer allows the fan to continue running after the light or switch is turned off, helping to clear leftover moisture.
What’s the benefit of an inline fan in a utility room?
Inline fans can be hidden in ceiling voids or ducting, reducing noise in the room and offering flexible installation options.
