Bathroom Fan Replacement plus...

[sundaeman]

My arm is jacked and I need to get some stuff done around the house, actually more but this will do the trick at the moment.

Replace bathroom ceiling fan, regular ceiling fan in family room ( Vaulted ceiling may need to replace rod), a toliet valve assembly, bathroom light wall fixture.

Located around Ellicott City.

Want to replace a bathroom extractor fan as I think it's had its day.

The original one is a
type 100t1
240v 50hz 19w
IP44

Runs of light switch from an isolator.

Google search obviously brings up a whole load of results. I understand the "100" refers to the diameter.

But the prefixes ie. CF/VA/DX etc I don't understand.

Just looking for a good silent fan which will run of a light switch.

Often, those bathroom fans are a metal box with a fan ASSEMBLY inside.
Pull the grill cover down and see if it has a plug. Unplug it and there's either a screw or tab type latch to one side. Release the latch or screw and the whole inside assembly just hinges out. You probably can just replace that assembly or probably for the same money, buy a new one the same size and replace the assembly, and dispose of the rest of the parts.

You are a good egg M!

Over a year later kudos are the most desirable

Well it was not free B. I went with a friend who does this to put bread on the table.

And not really deserved. See above.

You could have sat on your hands. You helped out two people. Plus, I know you are a good egg, so there's that.

Thank you my friend.

Can we help out your friend now?

That's what I do, pop the cover, pull the plug and take out 1 screw. Easy peasy

Yup. Most are pug and play. Often times, you can pull the fan motor unit and clean it out and they'll run like new.

Hope that's the case. I'd hate to go into an attic to replace a bathroom fan in this weather! If I really had to, I'd probably do the job at night.

FYI - mpollan & co. did a great job for me last year. probably going to hit him up again sometime.

I need to get ours replaced sometime soon, but I never really figured out who to call to do it. I'm not gonna try, it looks awkward for me to try it. Ours has been in the house since 91, and squeaks sometimes, I assume to the extreme humidity in there. I'd squirted some lube in there before, and it quiets it down for a bit.

 

[outrider58]

Just an FYI. it does a world of good to pull the cover off these things once every year or so and give them a good vacuuming out.

Thanks, was hoping you were satisfied.

^This^ The humid air being pulled through makes the dust stick all the more not unlike a clothes dryer vent. Which lead into a tangential PSA. Clean your dryer vent for better/faster drying.

On the matter of cleaning out bathroom your exhaust fans. How right you are. Never thought of this and when I pulled the cover off the master bath fan after several years of use I was surprised to see how clogged up it got. I had to remove it from the housing to clean it out.

Yup. People don't realize; linen(towels) + moisture(from shower and bath) being constantly drawn up through the exhaust fan = clogging.
