Hi,
I need to replace my en-suite extractor fan as it doesn’t appear that the motor can’t be replaced. Current one is an airflow aura, which hasn’t lasted that long (approx 5-7 years). It runs from a switch outside via a fused connection unit to the fan. I have checked the fuse and across line...

I intend to fit a extractor fan with built in pir sensor in my downstairs wc.
My question is regarding the wiring , could I take power from my ceiling rose to an isolator then from the isolator straight to the fan avoiding the light switch , as the sensor would turn the fan on ...any...
Hi All,
I'm installing a new extractor fan in my downstairs loo. The wall that the fan will be mounted to backs on to my garage and the ducting runs in to there before turning 90 degrees and exiting through the roof. This is a ducting run of around 4m.
Given that the downstairs loo is just...
Hi, so someone decided to put a bathtub under a boiler and electric extractor fan. Half the bathtub is taken up by the boiler. It has a cupboard around the top and the sides, but the base and pipes going into the wall are exposed. More space will go if a shower mixer is installed and there is an...
Had an email from Denmans, turns out I won the Christmas competition to get my order for free. Only ordered an extractor fan to pick up on the way past. so winnings equal £11+vat.
Sort of wish i had placed that nice big order now rather than wait to check what i had in the back of the van.
Hi all,
Looking for some help wiring a extractor fan.
At present i have a fan that is running of a 3 amp Isolator+Transformer and then going straight to the light fitting, i am looking to replace this fan with a more modern type one as the one i have right now is a eyesore and don't fancy...
Hi,
Quick Q from a newbie. I had a NICIEC registered electrician install an isolation switch and extractor fan in my downstairs bathroom. I’m now replacing one of the down lights and found what is a surprising mess of wires in the false ceiling, all joined together with a terminal block (centre...
I live in a flat in Leeds and am needing some advice.
I have one extractor fan that connects to two bathrooms (Call them A and B). The switching on of a light for either should turn the fan on. Also in the kitchen there is a switch incase we need to turn it on there too. There is a ceiling...
Hi all
I have installed the 92430AW XPLUS 2 MULTI POINT VENTILATION UNIT I wired it in like for like with an old unit. The fan stays constantly on. Do I just wire in the switch lines into the L1, L2, L3? Or is there a way to wire this in. It's probably very simple but it's confusing me.
I have a customer who has a extractor fan in a storage container used for ventilation.
They would like a timer fitted which enables the fan to come on for 10 minuets every hour.
Im struggling to find an off the shelf timer that would let me do this?
Anyone got Any ideas?
Cheers
Hi, I have no electrical experience whatsoever, but I have a question about some wiring that was done for my mum.
My mum had some work done in her home by a not so respectable person and I was wondering who is responsible for reporting it. I think it falls under Part P.
He installed a new...
Hi folks
I wanted to install an extractor fan in my bathroom. I'm unsure about drilling a hole in the wall incase I wreck the bathroom tiles. I'm adding a photo that I have taken.
If anyone has carried out this task without damaging the tiles, please can you tell me which tool bit you used...
hi everyone, my first post I’ve got a s&p HIG2 humidistat in my bathroom which has worked brilliantly for the last 14 months. Last weekend the fan just won’t stop it’s running constantly, I’ve ajusted both settings to low and still no joy
Ended up turning off the isolator switch but that also...
OK, its best to mount extractor fans high on walls, or in ceilings but how effective would one be mounted lower down the wall?
scenario - the outside wall is part wall and mainly sloping ceiling - so its possible to mount the fan at waist height and then have a short run down to the eaves.
Any...
Hullo. I was having work done by a builder who turned out to be rogue, new builder took over job and told me that he would need to change the extractor fan I had chosen as is wasn't 2.25m in height from the bottom of the bath. He changed it to another one, but when I checked it it wasn't...
Hi
Been asked to sort some bits out at a flat and found this behind a ventilation screen.
I assume it was the backing of a centrifugal fan and someone has tried to do an imaginative DIY fix??
Just to confirm, the box is surface mounted.
The vent from the box is at the top .
Wonder if anyone has...
Hi,
I am looking to replace my old extractor fan in the toilet with a new one (Manrose VNF100S).
There are 4 wires (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green/Yellow).
The old fan was operated by switching the light on and would stay on for a few minutes after the light was switched off. There were 3 wires in...
Any help for this problem is massively appreciated. I live in an apartment block and my extractor fan is bust. Took it off hoping to replace it myself, but I'm honestly not sure what type of fan I'd be needing.
I know I'd need a timer fan, because the wiring is there, but the vent is so small -...
Hi any one got some advice on putting a cooker extractor hood discharge through timber frame house wall. Reason I ask is that I use to work (labourer) on timber frame houses a long time ago and think there could be some sort o guide lines related to going through the timber wall and membrane ...
Hi
