Please Help - Contractor

[aclark7]

We are remodeling our house and main upstairs bathroom is no longer surrounded by any external walls. Because of this our HVAC contractor says we don't need a supply vent in the bathroom. We think that having fresh air/heat in the bathroom is imperative and there is now a skylight in the bathroom so the room will still be exposed to some external sunlight/cold. We live in Minnesota so there are many cold mornings where you would want to have plenty of heat in a bathroom. What should we do? Thanks so much!

Have them put supply. You can always shut it off.

Say, "I want a heater in my bathroom, and I am willing to pay for it."

tell them to stop being lazy and put in a supply register
gets cold in the winter and hot in the summer and who wants to freeze or sweat while taking a shower

One thing I should add is that there used to be a supply vent in this room, but it was removed by the HVAC contractor. Don't we need a supply vent in this room?

How many times would you like us to say yes? YES.

Should have a supply... Who wants to wake up to a cold bathroom?
It should also have an exhaust fan that vents to the outside.

Are you really sure?

Thanks for the advice. Both my the general contractor and HVAC sub-contractor are telling me that we will be fine, but your advice confirms my doubts. Thanks again

Famous last words...."Awww, you'll be fine".
Get a supply register installed! No brainer.

Actually, a re-evaluation of the contractor may be the Real Question.
