Why might I need a new extractor fan?
If you notice lingering moisture on the windows, tiles and mirrors the existing fan may need replacing. We were called by a local customer, close to Eastville Park as they were in desperate need of a qualified electrician, experienced in extractor fan installation. We found both extractor fans in the upstairs family bathroom and downstairs guest shower room were installed about 8 years ago at the same time. One fan had completely stopped working which made the room humid and smelly while the other fan had become increasingly noisy. Troubleshooting by our expert team found a loose motor on the noisy fan which caused the fan blades to hit the outer casing. Both the homeowners and EMC Electrical Group thought the best option was to replace both fans.
What happens during a new bathroom extractor fan installation?
If it’s a new installation, the best placement for the extractor fan needs to be identified. This might be above the shower or where most moisture will build up. Next we start by creating an opening through an external wall or ceiling which is where the new duct will expel moisture and odours out. Electrical work typically involves wiring the extractor fan into a lighting circuit which automatically turns the fan on when the light is switched on. Electrical work is carried out in strict compliance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and according to “zone” rules regarding water and electricity.
How long does extractor fan installation take?
We inform our customers that a brand new extractor fan installation in a bath or shower room extension could take anywhere between 3-7 hours. Especially if any new wiring routes need to be installed and ducting needs to be routed through a new opening in a wall or ceiling space.
If it's a simple replacement project like the customer close to Eastville Park, installation takes considerably less time. This particular project where two extractor fans were replaced by modern, quieter models took the team only an hour and a half so very little disruption to the homeowners.
