    Friend of mine has an existing extractor in the bathroom which is switch powered. He wants to disconnect it as it's never used, and feed a cable from the existing extractor feed through the exterior wall and into a PIR exterior light. He's insisting that regular 1.5mm pvc is fine (i've said it...

    Install plug on hob extractor fan

    Understanding a humidistat extractor fan with timer?

    I will be fitting an in line extractor fan in the loft to extract from a shower room.

The customer wants this to be a humidity controlled fan but it will...

    Is blocking an extractor fan dangerous?

    Our extractor fan was making a very loud noise when it is on. Stopped this by putting more pressure on it with duct tape but means it is stopping the fan from moving. Is there any problems with blocking the extractor fan from moving? Will it short circuit or anything?
