Quiet Bathroom Ventilation Upgrade - Getting Your Bathroom Right

The exhaust fan replacement is one of the most crucial upgrades you can make to keep your house in great shape and ensure fresh air. When your bathroom fan starts to go out or get really loud, it's not just annoying - it can also cause a load of problems. For a start, it's not doing its job of clearing out steam and odours. Plus, it can lead to serious issues down the line, like mold and even structural damage, all down to excess moisture. Our guys install brand new bathroom exhaust fan units that are not only super quiet but are also well-vented to the outside - a crucial bathroom ventilation upgrade.

If you've got a loud or old unit hanging off the ceiling, our noisy fan replacement service is the way to go. Modern exhaust fans are vastly quieter and have higher CFM ratings (that means they draw out more air and moisture from the bathroom), which is perfect for keeping your bathroom feeling fresh. We also make sure we connect the fan wires properly during the exhaust duct hookup and seal the ducting from the attic so you can be sure there's no energy loss and no condensation problems in the house either.

Our complete bathroom exhaust fan installation service covers everything from safely removing the old fan to running all necessary wiring and ensuring the duct is vented correctly through the roof or wall. We also make sure your new fan is the right size to handle the bathroom (in terms of CFM) and that it connects properly to the flexible duct securely installed in the ceiling. Whether you need a standard exhaust fan installed or a more complex humidistat-controlled fan, we'll get it done right.

What You Get Out of Our Services

Our bath fans and ventilation fan Replacement Services offer several significant benefits, including improved ventilation performance, greater energy efficiency, and better control of excess humidity in your bathroom.

High-Performance Humidity Fan Replacement - What We Do Differently

Replacing your old, weak exhaust fan with a high-performance ventilation fan is key to getting moisture levels just right - especially in a bathroom, and if needed, we can provide extra long ducts to ensure proper installation . It's a must for a full range of bathroom fans and vent fan housing - from shower to toilet areas.

  1. Measuring the Job: We measure the bathroom space to determine the ideal CFM required for good ventilation. This means the fan will be powerful enough to pull out all the steam after a shower, preventing the mirror from fogging up and the ceiling drywall from getting damp. We size our fans up to the manufacturer's guidelines, so we know we're getting it right.

  2. Quiet as a Whisper: One of the main reasons for getting a new fan is that the old one has worn out. So we replace it with a new high-quality fan that's designed to run quietly, and many of them are so quiet you can barely hear them. And that means you'll use the fan much more often, keeping your bathroom pleasant and fresh all the time.

  3. Auto-Humidistat Control: For a top-of-the-line bathroom ventilation upgrade, we can install an auto-humidistat-controlled fan that kicks in when the air gets too humid and automatically turns down to zero when it's dry again.

Proper Ducted Exhaust Fan Hookup and Installation - The Details Matter

The effectiveness of a bathroom exhaust fan depends heavily on getting the ducted hookup and wiring right in the ceiling and the attic, which is why we take careful reference measurements .

  • Duct Inspection: We check your existing ducts for leaks or kinks. Where there is any damage, we replace the sections or run new ducting, making sure it's as straight as it can be. We seal all duct connections firmly to the fan housing outlet and the roof or wall cap using cable clamps and foil duct tape to make an airtight seal.

  • Fan Housing Installation: The fan housing has to be securely mounted. We use the brackets or wires provided by the manufacturer to install it between two ceiling joists. If we're replacing an old fan with one that's a different size, sometimes we need to cut the drywall to make space for the new one - so we get it done neatly.

  • Electrical Wiring: We first safely disconnect the power, then disconnect the electrical wires from the old fan. We connect the wiring to the new fan's electrical receptacle and ensure the cables are matched and properly grounded. And we tuck the wiring safely inside the fan housing and secure it with a cable connector.

This meticulous duct and wiring work, including securing connections with screws, is what ensures moisture is efficiently removed from the house.

A Seamless Air Vent Fan Installation - All Done for You

Our air vent fan installation covers everything from vent fan housing and ceiling drywall to external venting, providing you access to a professional finish on the inside and outside of the house.

  1. Ceiling Hole Repair: If we need to cut a bigger hole to get the new fan housing in, we do it properly - making sure we clean up after ourselves and leaving a tidy finish. We use the old fan grille as a guide to mark the ceiling for the new hole.

  2. Roof/Wall Cap Installation: We ensure the exhaust duct terminates at a proper roof cap or wall vent so you don't get any backdrafts, and pests don't march in. For roof vents, we use the right roofing nails and sealants to prevent leaks, which is crucial for the ventilation system to work correctly.

  3. Final Assembly: Now that the fan housing is securely mounted and the duct is all hooked up, we plug in the blower motor. The final decorative grille extends to the ceiling, and we secure it with screws or those tension clips that usually do the trick.

We make sure that your bathroom fan installation not only looks tidy, but we also attach it securely to ensure it's got the power you need - serious ventilation.

  • The scope of our service: We cover exhaust fan replacement, noisy fans that are driving you mad, bathroom humidity problems, and standard installation of a new fan. If you need a ceiling fan replacement (the exhaust kind), we're your go-to team.

  • The core of what we do: Ducted exhaust fan hookups and proper wiring inside the fan housing - we make sure that the exhaust duct is airtight and routed to the roof or wall just so.

  • Ventilation details: We take a look at your bathroom and determine how many CFM (cubic feet per minute) you need. Then we install a quiet, efficient fan for your space.

  • Mounting and structure: We slap the fan housing securely between two joists or wall studs using metal brackets or mounting wires. And we use a framing square to get that spot on the ceiling hole.

  • Electrical safety: We switch off the power and connect the electrical cable to the electrical receptacle inside the fan housing. We secure the cable with a cable connector and ensure the bare copper wire is attached for grounding.

  • Final tidy: We check that the grille is securely in place and that the unit runs smoothly and quietly. If you've got a light (and it's applicable), we install that and the final cover plate.

Our work means you get a bathroom ventilation upgrade that keeps your home safe from moisture and mold, including creating a knockout hole for venting .

The Installation and Reliability

We've got a process that's guaranteed to get your new fan working right, quietly, and effectively, often using a reciprocating saw for precise cuts .

Step-by-Step Installation Process

We put a lot of effort into getting it right, and that means ensuring the fan is mounted securely in the attic between two wall studs and following these steps:

  1. Remove Old Fan and Prep: We turn off the power first. We take out the old grille, then the motor, and finally the fan housing. We carefully looked down at the old housing through that big hole in the ceiling. We disconnect the wiring and duct from the old fan. We might need to enlarge that hole a bit using an old fan as a reference and a sawzall.

  2. Duct and Wiring Prep: We pull the flexible duct and electrical cable into the space near the hole. We get the cable connector on and knock out the old hole in the new fan housing. We double-check that the new fan housing will fit securely in the space.

  3. Install New Housing: We hook up the exhaust duct to the fan housing outlet port and seal the connection with foil duct tape. We push the new housing into the hole and secure it to the two joists (or wall studs) with screws or mounting wires.

  4. Wiring and Motor: We hook up the electrical wires (same colours to each terminal) and secure the cable with a cable clamp. Then we plug in the blower motor, and slap the grille up - secure with the two screws or clips.

  5. Final Checks: We crawl up into the attic to check that the duct is routed to the roof cap properly, and that all insulation is pulled back from the intake port. We switch the power back on and test the new bathroom vent fan.
