    Multi vent fan not working.

    Morning all.. I have just been to a regular customer who has a problem with their extractor fan, i.e it doesn't work. I have not come across these types of fans before. usually they are the small wall or ceiling mounted ones, or an in-line fan, all of which are cheap enough to just change. This...

    I destroyed the directional switch in my ceiling fan with fixing the speed control. I live in a small city in Africa and can't get replacement parts. I'm also not really electrically inclined. Is there a way I can trouble shoot the wires that go into the directional switch in order to bypass...

    HVAC, fan not ON working in AUTO mode

    I replaced an old (mercury type) thermostat with a new Honeywell thermostat model RTH2300B. The wiring is quite straight forward based on the manual: red to R, white to W, yellow to Y and green to G. There is no C so the 24VAC common is not connected. I have to install 2 AAA batteries per...

    UK Ceiling Rose Wiring for Existing Fan

    Hi, I have an existing ceiling fan that I want to remove and replace with just a regular ceiling rose light. When I removed the rose, I found that the neutral has only one cable, so assumed this is the last light on the loop, but I'm confused as it appears that the S/L has two cables coming in...

    Extractor fan recommendations

    Hi all, I have a 100mm ceiling mounted bathroom extractor to replace. It is ducted to the outside via flexi ducting, which runs in the floor void above approx. 4 metres to the external wall grille. So quite a long way for your average bathroom fan. For venting direct through the wall, or for...

    Hey guys just wondering as I’m about to replace my thermo fan which has died after a big trip in my LS swap landcruiser. My question is I have bought the same electric thermo fan that was on the car but the wiring looks like it had bypassed any sort of capacitor or just doesn’t have one but my...

    Location of bathroom fan isolator switch

    Hi all, I have been asked to fit an extractor fan to a bungalow, normally I chase out a box for the fan isolator and locate it above the bathroom door, is there a reason I cant locate it in the loft, im guessing due to accessibility or something, but just wanted to check? Many thanks, Martin

    Can anyone tell me what this is inside my light socket on my ceiling fan?

    My ceiling lights were flickering, I found something sticking out of one of the three sockets. Only one looks like the picture. I put another bulb in there, it blew immediately and now the lights are no longer flickering.

    14 from a ceiling fan to 12 on a 20 amp circuit

    I know that 14 shouldn't be used on a 20 amp circuit. But it's only from a ceiling fan to a switch. I'm not even totally sure which breaker the power is from. I think it may be a 20 amp though. Is this ok being a ceiling fan doesn't use a lot of draw?
