repair or replace ceiling exhaust fan
Posted: Sat May 26, 2007 1:44 pm
Happy Holiday everyone!
my next interior repair will be to "fix" a bathroom exhaust fan that is in the ceiling.
is the best way to take it down, and take the unit to the store to get them to help me spec a replacement, or are they pretty standard? do I need a whole fan, or can you just replace the motor? is there ones that hard wire into existing wires, vs ones that plug into an outlet? (needless to say, my first look at Home Depot at the fan choices has left me pretty confused)
different flow rates? is a $50 fan that much better than a $12 one?
Are fans that are placed directly under an opening different from ones that go through a sideways duct?
always needing to learn I guess is good for me.... lol
