Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve come across something that we believe is worth mentioning.
In several homes in Kings Point in Sun City Center, Florida, we’ve found bathroom exhaust fans with heavy buildups of dust, lint, and moisture that can cause the units to overheat over time.
Now, before this sounds alarming, let’s be clear:
