Hi, I need to replace an old extractor fan in a house I rent out. The bathroom has a lot of black mould on the ceiling and I'm wanting to prevent this from happening again. A fan with a humidistat that turns on when it gets too humid sounds like a good idea but is it as easy as just replacing...
I will be fitting an in line extractor fan in the loft to extract from a shower room. At present there is a ceiling mounted fan placed directly by a window on the other side of the room from the shower, so it is not effective.
The customer wants this to be a humidity controlled fan but it will...
I have just installed the manrose humidistat fan from screwfix (15722) and it stays on all the time. I have adjusted the humidistat controls to no avail.
Quite a few of the humidistat fans have poor reviews. Could anyone recommend one that they fit and it actually switches off at some point?
Cheers.
Evening all. I have a customer whose bathroom is soaked with condensation after the shower has been on. its worst I have seen.
I am going to install a 4 inch 60litre/sec fan but would like an opinion on whether to go with a humidistat or run on timer. I would appreciate your expertise. Thanks
Hi all, thanks in advance for any help.
I have been asked to do some electrical work in a convent and they have been asked if an electric underfloor heating matt could be controlled by a humidistat.
The room is going to be an archive room so needs a dry environment.
I can't see how a hunidistat...

Ended up turning off the isolator switch but that also...
Hello all,
I am looking to install an xpelair 12v fan in a bathroom with a humidity sensor (model no. 92970AW). I can't quite work out from the instruction manual whether the humidity sensor is in the fan itself or in the transformer. due to the size of the bathroom and the position of the bath...
hi guys
have a customer who has bought a humidistat/timer fan which has a SL Perm L and N connections. He has stated that he wants the fan to only operate due to humidity but not to be activated by the light switch.
The existing fan has a Live/Neutral & Earth via a 3amp FSU. I was wondering...
Got a Manrose ELV Humidistat and promptly read the instructions (as you do).
Control box should be installed >2m from shower/bath, out of reach of anyone in bath/shower. Its not as if someone can open it up and fiddle with it whilst in the shower as you need a screwdriver to open the box to...

Remote Humidistat Fan Control & Timer
there are connections for switched live, live, there is timer setting, there is humidity setting.
can`t get how this is going to behave when installed.
1. fan on together with light, duration adjustable with timer, but only when humidity...
Hi Everyone
Going to fit a fan with Humidistat tomorrow and just looked at the installation instructions.
Following the manufactures instruction.. which will be in keeping with the 'Regs'.
If the fuse blows in the DP switch, the lights will be off as well!!
Is that acceptable?
I'm thinking that...

Hello everyone!
I'm looking to install a bathroom extractor fan and was just looking for recommendations for the best type really. Customer is happy to pay whatever it costs but wants it to be a Humidistat fan. I'm sure i've seen in the past Vent Axia do one that has a pull cord on for...
Hi,
Does a humidistat fan need a Switched Live, it seems that it doesn't need to go ON with the light but just whenever the sensor says so. In that case does it just need a Permy Live and Neutral?
Cheers
Nick
Any body had antyhing to do with humidistat fans?
Are tehy any good if about 1.5m away from a shower?
Can you get standalone humidistats to control a normal fan, say cieling mount?
i've also considered an occupancy sensor to control the fan, not sure which is the best way to go.
cheers boys
