Bathroom exhaust fan not connected to vent!
Comments (8)Thanks all, I finally got access to the condo's message board and got some help from another resident. He said the ductwork was there and said something about a "door" in the fan unit. I poked around inside of it again and lo and behold, a small piece of sheet metal fell off the side of it and there was the duct! The sheet metal piece had a piece of tape on it that I think may have been a hinge, of sorts--so that it would flap open when the fan was on and then fall back over the duct opening when the fan was off to keep drafts out. But a thick coating of greasy dust had kept it from working properly, and also made it hard to see that that's what its function was. The duct opening is only about 1x2", not the big 3" or 4" round opening that I was thinking it should be. It's still not a great fan but at least it's not blowing all of the air right back into the room! And I will have to figure out how to put that flap back on once the weather gets cold, but I have a bit of time before that will be necessary. PS-- no window in that room, unfortunately......See MoreBathroom Exhaust Fans - How to choose one...
Comments (7)I just bought two panasonic fans last night (this post reminded me I needed to buy those for the rough electrical). I got a pretty good price at Wholesale America: 110 CFM Whisper Warm (no light) for $180 110 CFM Whisper Lite(no heater) for $140 These prices are a good deal better than the link above, but there might be even better out there. I think PexSupply.com also has these for a good price....See MoreInstalling bathroom exhaust fan in tiled ceiling
Comments (13)No attic access? No way to get up there at all? Not a ceiling scuttle hidden in a closet some where?Agree with Joe, we can give guidelines to install the fan, but the wiring is the issue. Do you have a plan for wiring the fan? Probably the easiest would be to extend the wiring from the bathroom ceiling light. Attic access would make it a heckuva lot easier. But barring any out of the ordinary attic framing, extending the ceiling light circuit could be done with a couple of fishing tapes. Is that an option? And then...there are wall exhaust fans. Again, depending on location, electrical would be an issue....See MoreVenting bathroom exhaust fan with dormer floor above
