    Attic fan redux. Sorry, but I still need advice...

    In-line extractor fan mounted vertically

    Does it make a difference? My FILs bathroom fan had stopped working, and after checking power was where it needs to be, conclusion is fan is faulty “I could have told you that… it doesn’t work!” The fan isn’t too old, and I’m wondering if the way it’s been mounted is causing too much strain...

    USA Ceiling Fan Box is Strange

    New construction in USA. I think that the builder put ceiling fan rated boxes in the ceiling. But when I remove the cover, I see a strange box. Picture attached. It's hard to make out all of the details, because the painter sprayed it. Have you seen this brand/style box before? There are two...

    Anyone tried the Atoko Fan Select (ATQ6-03) - extractor fan timer - switch fan off during run-on?

    Hi. Has anyone tried the Atoko Fan Select (ATQ6-03)? Its supposed to be an extractor fan timer so you can get delayed start and run-on using a standard fan. They say you can also override the delay and run-on by switching the light - does that really work?

    VERY quiet ceiling mounted (min IP X4) bathroom fan recommendations?

    My very well off customer wants the most quiet ceiling mounted extractor fan there is. They have stipulated that cost is not a barrier and they just want something quiet. I have used one extremely quiet fan in the past, but it simply didn't do it's job, so that's pointless. This fan still needs...
