When fitting an extractor fan, there’s a very real need to know what precisely you are doing to avoid a potential major mishap in the future. Thankfully, installing an extractor fan can be significantly easier than people are aware of, but only when you know which key steps to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, that’s what we are going to do. In just a few moments, you will not only want to install a new fan in your bathroom but also know exactly how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ventilation in the bathroom is key<\/strong> due to the water and steam that is conjured up on a regular basis. Your bathroom can easily develop mould and other conditions which are not that good for our health<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To fix this problem, you need to think about getting air to flow around your bathroom, and for this, you have a few options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your bathroom has a window, keeping it open will definitely help. Alternatively, you may wish to consider adding some sort of air vent to help the air, but that may not have the greatest positive effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what’s left? The answer is to consider the installation of an extractor fan<\/a>, and it’s going to be a whole lot easier than you may have anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These fans are easy to power up via a switch or even when putting on your ceiling light, and they will then open up their vent and allow that hot, steamy air to be extracted from the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, the installation process will take no time at all, and that applies even if you have limited experience with this sort of DIY project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, let’s go ahead and check out what you need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is going to involve you needing to drill a hole in the outside wall, and that’s going to be quite nerve-wracking for some people. Ask a professional for assistance if you are unclear on how to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step is to check for wires before you get your drill bit attached to the drill<\/a>. If there’s any doubt about wiring, then get a qualified electrician to help you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s also important you check for any pipes<\/strong>. The last thing you want to do is to drill a series of holes and then find you have burst a pipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today,its off to #Rugby<\/a> for an array of small jobs including wiring + installing an extractor fan in a bathroom + installing security lights<\/p>— Alan Hodgkinson (@Cornerwayer) November 10, 2014<\/a><\/blockquote>Warning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
