Setup kitchen ventilator and bathroom ventilators

Bathroom and kitchen fans are an important part of your home’s ventilation system. They remove odours from your house which improves indoor air quality.They also remove moisture which decreases the level of humidity in your house.High humidity can damage building materials and can cause mold growth.Mold may affect your family’s health.The two most common types of fans are impeller fans and blower fans.

Choose the quietest,most energy-efficient fan in the size range required which has low-resistance exhaust ducting.Place the exhaust hood where it will not cause moisture damage on exterior surfaces.If you have heating appliances with chimneys,make sure that fans won’t cause the appliances to backdraft.

To set up ventilators in kitchen and bathroom first shut off the power to the circuit before you begin any work.Then if possible, place the housing in a position which will allow you to fasten it directly to a ceiling joist.Drill pilot holes in the corners, and cut along the lines with a drywall saw or jigsaw. Next secure the fan housing in place.Run a length of cable from the existing light switch to the exhaust fan unit.Make the necessary electrical connections at the fan unit using wire connectors.Follow the wiring diagram provided by the manufacturer. Attach the ground wire to the grounding clip provided on the housing.Push the wires into the wiring box area of the housing and install the cover.Connect the duct to the fan housing.Follow the instructions of the unit’s manufacturer regarding how far away from the fan the insulation should be kept.From inside of the bathroom,install the unit cover.Wire the cable into the existing electrical circuit at the wall switch.
