Thanks Bill. Always dreaded the day the motor on one of these guys decides to kick the bucket. Good to know it's not that hard to replace with one from Bunnings.

[@tite-musleemislam4193]

It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. kzbin.infoUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h6 There are three options to circulate air, and best of all a remote control for us lazy people. Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...

[@wiwarra]

Thank you Bill. Just did mine today. Totally orthumb!!

[@x1anp]

So good! Exactly what I needed as my fan was super noisy and needed a new one! Thank you

[@perrogrande]

Mate I love your videos - everything you post is on my to do list!

[@lieslnew8247]

Totally agree!! It’s like you are in my house!! Keep em coming Bill. 👍

[@oodlemeister633]

Mate, thanks so much for this! I was trying to install a new Deta fan and couldn’t figure out why those clips wouldn’t attach to the drywall properly. The instructions in the box neglected to mention I needed to loosen the screws first and then push the clips up before tightening again. You’re a legend. Fan is now installed and working perfectly.

[@fionaocallaghan5616]

Best video I found on how to do this myself - you explained everything step by step and the close ups of each stage gave me the knowledge and confidence to do this. And I did! I’m not a DIY person, but due to COVID-19 lockdown and my fan stopped working, I changed it myself so thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ll check out your other videos too, really enjoyed this one.

[@billshowto]

Glad I could help, I’m sure you will enjoy the other videos 👍

[@Stevej2013]

[@La_Vi_]

Hey Bill! Appreciate these videos as always. Do you think its a good idea to vent the exhaust air out of the roof space? I'm concerned that moist air could damage timber and cause mould growth in the roof.

[@ronaldostrowski4014]

This is a great video. Sadly I bought a Delta 250 mm and the screws hardly budge to tighten when clamped to the ceiling. Putting on the cover is hard because of the poor clip design. I think I will take it back.

[@billshowto]

Try and have another look at the clamps to make sure they are in the right position. Could be a simple thing that is preventing it from clamping

[@parvezshahid8906]

On a roll with the content Bill, keep it up mate! Would you be able to show us how to drill a hole straight? I've been trying to drill a 9cm hole in wood for the dowels to go in for a floating shelf, but I can't get a straight hole and the dowel goes in on an angle :/ Any advice here or any tools I can go grab to help me out here? Cheers!

[@RestoreTechnique]

Hey mate, I bought this Arlec 250mm exhaust, and cannot for the life of me see how its suppose to work. If the fan clamps onto the plasterboard snugly, then how is the clip on grill suppose to get the clips over the fan bezel? My clip on grill doesn't clip on, because there's no room between the fan bezel and the plaster. If I leave room by not tightening the screws, then the fan is loose, and then gets pushed up when I try to clip the grill on. This appears to be the worst engineered product, am I missing something?

[@andrewm3329]

Hi Bill my fan is duct taped to a flex pipe and it’s connected straight to the wire no plug. Is there a way I can somewhere disconnect the wire so it’s not live. Obviously will turn off the power first

[@alfalders3020]

Do we need to turn any circuit breakers off? Does the power socket in the ceiling have an on/off switch? Cheers matey.

[@billshowto]

Hi, if it’s a power socket than no circuit breaker needs to be turn off and no switch. It’s similar to a power point in the roof cavity without an on and off switch👍

[@jenbale]

What if you have a combined light and exhaust fan, is it stil just a plug in ?

[@satya128fly]

the clamps are great idea.... but lets say if the fan fails how do you undo the clamps, if your hands are small enough, you can put your hands through the fan to the other side and push the clamps but if your hands big thats it.. i donno how u would remove it

[@lachlanslightsandfans]

You should be able to unscrew it until the screw comes out.

[@Mstemu1]

What was the brand of that fan. It’s hard to find a that size. All of the newer ones are square?

[@beebee5633]

The old exhaust fan was HPM and the new one is Arlec.

[@Heyjaybird]

Do all of emmhave an plug 🔌 and play feature??

[@mitchellrobless960]

how long does it take to get the fan done

[@braddles00]

Hey mate, I've removed my fan and the whole is 300mm, the fan itself is 320mm all I can find is 250mm? Can you get bigger?

[@mitchellrobless316]

how long cloud it take

[@mitchellrobless960]

you cloud wear saftey glass for that

[@DogFoxHybrid]

You look like a more realistic version of Giga Chad.

[@jordanzinger3066]

*With these do you need to install ducts to it like the piping?*

[@billshowto]

Depends on the type of exhaust fan you have purchased. This particular one does not require a duct 👍

[@jordanzinger3066]

@@billshowto oh wow that was a quick reply! t im buying one similar to this its an arlec. Thanks heaps!

[@ings9768]

Tradie did the same today and i wonder why there was no pipe leading out.

[@luisdelvalle1965]

Bill, where have you been all my life?

[@tycox8704]

Hmm. Your land’s exhaust fans are not like ours in the U.S.. For one, we pipe the exhaust air to contain any humidity and odors. Secondly, the fan motors and blades are puny, like those that cool personal computers.

[@Semaj.18272]

What’s the most quite wxhaust fan brand ? Bought a cheap one from Bunnings Jesus mate it’s loud as shit . Once u switch on and off there is a loud noise and bearing sounds fkd

[@billshowto]

Make sure it has been installed correctly. if it has been forced in it will make noise as it can’t rotate freely 👍

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

But of course I want mine to have a isolation switch so I'm going to save $300 and still diy 😂

Just had a look at mine thinking it will be an easy plug and play but as my luck shows its hard wired my house is only 6yrs old wtf!
