Hi all new to the forum
Learning the trade as an improver, trying to get my head round something.
When taking a feed from the light switch to the fan.
Normally I would P live in Com and SL in L1
So had to attach a three core then up to fan, so does permanent stay in Com or go down to L1...
Evening all,
Got a vent axia TX6 6” fan I need to replace.
A like for like replacement is around £500, client is asking for a cheaper option.
Matching replacement controller is around £150 also.
It’s mounted outside in an external wall, will anything IP44 rated be sufficient?
Will replace the...
Looking for counsel / guidance to replace an original Dayton On/off with speed control switch. I’ve checked with a couple local electrical supply stores and no one could assist. This fan was installed in our attic 25+ years ago and difficult to access.
I would certainly prefer a simple, direct...
I’m replacing an old 100mm extractor fan in the kitchen with a new one. The old one was a pull cord fan whereas I bought a timer one (no pull cord) thinking I could use the isolator switch (which is directly below the fan) as the on/off switch.
The cabling is a 3 core and on the new fan there’s...
Need to replace an old Vent-Axia extractor fan as the pull chord no longer works.
I bought this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CBX254I?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
I went for this one as it only required a Live and Neutral feed. I installed it but nothing happens when I switch...
Hi, my niece lives in a flat and has a bathroom without a window. There is an extractor fan which packed up and an electrician installed a new one a few weeks ago. That then blew and he came back and said that the extractor wasn't fit for purpose as it is wasn't powerful enough to get rid of all...
Hi guys,
I have a ceiling exhaust fan that i want to know if I can have an electrician put something inline to increase the speed as I feel its not quite doing the extraction job sufficiently.

WIRING FOR WALL SMART SWITCH FOR CEILING FAN/LIGHT
Just bought a smart wall switch for a ceiling fan/light currently connected to a single switch, fan has pull chains. Pretty sure I know the wires connected to the wall switch, not my first rodeo, but just want to make sure so I don’t blow the...
Hi, have an old bathroom fan. Which has two wires the black and red (line and neutral).
The fan has no isolator switch and was powered when the bathroom light came on. When turning the light off, the bathroom fan stopped.
I disconnected the fan wiring from the ceiling rose to clean the fan. Now...
Hi all,
Got an awkward bathroom fan installation in a downstairs flat, concrete ceilings and (some) walls. Bathroom is already fully tiled and 'finished'. Due to the window in the bathroom, it is impossible to get a fan directly out of the one external wall. A window fan is a theoretical option...
Hi All,
Thank you for your previous advice - it resulted in us replacing our precious Smeg range with a Hotpoint; however we now have a new issue that I was hoping you might be able to advise on:
The oven works nicely and the heat seems good etc. But it makes a pulsing noise when you're using...
Hi
I'm looking for some advice for adding a time delay on my parent's shower room fan.
My parents had a section of their garage converted into a shower room with toilet. But the builders did something a bit odd. They fitted a pull cord light switch by the door and then a separate pull switch...
Hi
Customer has an extractor fan that’s inside the shower cubicle high up on the wall. The extractor fan has no form of isolation and is wired into the socket circuit not the lighting circuit (I have never seen this set up before) and hasn’t been fused down. So because of the way the extractor...
Is there such a thing?
Just a standard bathroom, but can’t get through a wall or take out a window.
Are there specific condenser fans, or just use a normal one and fit a normal condensation trap and block up the end of the duct?
So today I was coring a 6 inch hole for a kitchen fan, now I cut my hole in the kitchen plasterboard and used a long sds bit to drill out the way, then I cored my 6 inch hole back the way. The hole coming back in is slightly off, am I best coring from inside back out until the first bricks...
HI There,
I would be grateful if you could help me, I have a very long duct between the bathroom and extractor outlet vent and for sometime, the bathroom stream overwhelms the extractor fan so much that I end up having severe condensation and moisture puddles, because it was a new build. They...
I've installed a replacement bathroom extractor fan. Pic on the left is the old one. Pic on right is the new one. Wired the same way but the fan won't work when the bathroom lights are switched on. But if I put a multi meter on the Switched Live & Live terminals, it starts working. Is the fan...
