Hi, I will be replacing the bath ceiling exhaust fan in my daughter's condo. I already took out the original one,which was motorless (?). Anyway, any tips on getting the new one up there, since I only have the 8 X 8 opening to work with? Thanks, Chas
It is possible that they have a remote fan possibly serving a number of sources? Of course it could also be possible that the fan died and someone just took it out.
Do you have access to it from above? Does it have a duct that you can connect to?
I suggest that you look for a quiet fan and go for the little extra quality. It does make a difference.
Thanks,
The original was 'motorless", I guess someone pulled it out when it stopped working and didn't bother replacing it. I took the whole housing down because it was a mess. There is a 3" flex duct, and wiring, which we already changed over to a wall mounted switch. Chas
look into the panasonic fans. i replaced both my bath fans and i am happy with them. they are very quiet.
buy a quality fan. Panasonics are what I use and are GREAT! Very quiet fans and look like they a built to last.
I will second that.
a similar question- I'm looking at doing the same thing in my bathrooms (2).
However, it appears that the replacements will have to be the same size as what is currently in the ceiling. If I decide on Panasonic, I'm not sure they would have the same size units as I currently have.
My current fans are Nutone combination fan, light, heater.
I will second that.
unless you get the same model chances are you will have some drywall patching. i had to patch my ceiling.
Ironic brand name, though. ;-)
It started out with consumer audio products, as a brand owned by Matsushita Electronics, IIRC, then branched out. I don't know who owns or makes Panasonic branded products now.
But the name literally implies everything but silent.
Our youngest son went to regular grade school with one of the big wigs son's....right here in the good ole USA
Regular people, albeit the family is insanely rich.....kinduva a reality check at a young age for my son at an early age is all, so far as I can figure.
...LOL....
As a kindergartner, the kid was intensely focused on making sure that his last name was pronounced correctly...
Kinda like tryingna say "Matsushita potatoes"....least it always sounded that way to me..
In grade school (I forget which grades), I shared a class with Maria Suzuki. I never did ask her if she had any ties with the company or its owners... even at 7 tears old, I was too embarrassed to ask such questions.
It is pronounced "Matsushita".
