How To Replace a Bathroom Exhaust Fan

Introduction

Have you found yourself not turning on your bathroom exhaust fan because it’s too loud? Or maybe it’s too old and just stopped running?

Bathroom fans have come a long way in efficiency, using much less energy than before. Some even claim to be noiseless. Replacing your bathroom fan isn’t complicated. It can be one-afternoon DIY project that doesn’t require extensive experience with drywall or electrical wiring.

By selecting a fan that fits the same dimensions as your old one, you won’t need to cut into the drywall, connect any ductwork in your attic or climb onto the roof to cut a hole for the air to escape.

Safety considerations

Turn off electricity at the main breaker box. Ensure you open your ladder fully and place it on stable ground. Wear safety glasses. And be ready for anything. You might be surprised what comes out of the ceiling when removing a fan that has been in place for years.
