It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. kzbin.infoUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h 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...

5:00 Just FYI, that cable clamp is actually meant for MC (Metal Clad) cable, not NM. You can tell because the diameter hole of your cable clamp is smaller than the actual NM type. NM cable camps have an opening that is just about as wide as the threads to allow for wider cables like 12/3.

I got quotes for this a few years back. Anywhere from 1-2000 dollars. I said nope I'll diy. I wanted to replace our light fan combo in the bathroom during our renovation. Watched a bunch of videos and finally gave it a go and opened it up. Had to cut a large portion of drywall and to my surprise. It was so old it was nothing like any of the videos. After a few weeks of messing with it without the proper tools I asked my friend who was an electrician for help. He had previously declined the job because they suck. He fixed it in 10 seconds. I felt stupid but that's why he's a pro. I still paid him for helping me get out of a jam. Total pain in the rear but turned out nice.

Great video. I just subscribed and watched several more. 2 things. The strain relief you used is designed and listed for use with MC cable. The small hole is designed to stop the MC cable jacket from entering the JBox. The strain relief designed and listed for NM (ROMEX) have a large hole all the way through. Also it appears in the video that to accommodate a short power cable you turned the box so exhaust was pointing away from roof exit point creating a tight bend in the hose. You might consider using a Jbox to splice a longer piece of 12-2 so you could point the exhaust port in the best direction to not have a kink in the hose that will restrict airflow. Again great instructional videos Bill

The tricky ones are the main floor bathroom where you have access to the exhaust vent or hose. In my last house had to take it out half the ceiling to change it. Bathroom fans should be standardized to all have the wiring and vents in the same place. Not sure about these days, but the fans I had, were discontinued so couldn't just swap out an old one with a new one.

When we bought our house, the downstairs bathroom fan sounded like WWII fighter idling on the flight line. It was so loud, you could tell someone was in the bathroom from anywhere in the house. When we renovated that bath, we swapped out the fan for the exact model you show here, and it’s so much nicer. The only issue is that occasionally the fan shuts off in the 10 seconds it takes you to go from the door to sitting on the toilet, even though it’s set for 30 minutes of non-activity. You have to wave your hand to get it to kick back on, then it’s fine.

When my 30 year old Broan fan started making a loud noise I thought I would get a modern quiet one. When I realized I would have to cut into the ceiling and I got scared and found a Broan replacement kit that is plug and play. Now I just need a fancy humidity sensing switch with a timer so it doesn't get left on all day. I love Wago lever nuts though, especially when connecting solid core wires to stranded wires such as this.

We have the same Nutone exhaust in our laundry room. Surprise, it’s not even that old, It’s from 2002. They’ve probably been using that exact same design for a while though. I’m surprised the motor on ours hasn’t failed yet. The latest Nutone exhausts suck! Our new one in a downstairs bathroom broke within 3 years! It was replaced with the slightly older version of this Panasonic, which has never had any issue, but it turns on at least 30 seconds after you flip the switch, so all our guests think it’s broken! Also, we don’t like the fact that it shuts off 15 minutes after you leave if there’s no humidity! It’s fine for humidity, but it just can’t detect smell!

Hi, did you use the provided bracket in your installation? And what's the difference between the two models you provided, the `regular ' one vs the retrofit? Thanks

I think I would prefer the conventional exhaust fan. I can turn it off or on to suit the needs. I use an exhaust fan to remove unpleasant odors, and the fan may need to be on for a relatively short or a long time. It seems that with the unit you're installing, to determine how long the fan will be on you will have to remove the cover and set the timer dial.

You can also add a sensor switch. It will turn on the exhaust automatically depending on your settings for a predetermined amount of time (configurable), but you can also turn it on or off when you please. I’ve used the Leviton IPHS5-1LW and have been very happy with it.

Yeah I too would save the money on the fan with all the fancy sensors and just have all the controls you want in the switch, it'll end up being cheaper as well, going by the above links this fan is $60 more than the similar fan without the sensors, if you want the sensor spend $25 on switch that has a humidistat, timer, auto cycle, etc if you want those features, or if you just want to keep it manual a $2 switch. And best of all you can use it with your existing fan that doesn't require you to completely remove the old.

I wonder if the previous home owner installed that vent to exit out of the roof? Any time I’ve spoken with home inspectors or contractors the rule is to run the vent ducts as straight and horizontal as possible to exit out of a gable wall and not the roof or a soffit to prevent leaking from above or sucking up the warm air back into the attic and cause mold/mildew situations.

Great video. Will a exhaust with sensor work if I have to replace an exhaust with light? light and fan are controlled by one switch. There are several models out there with light and sensor but does it might mean leaving the light on so the sensor triggers the fan?

A fine and very thorough video. Thank you. 6:26 - While most "aluminum" conductors these days typically uses AA8800 or another type of alloy wiring that doesn't require noalox, it might be something that I'd consider if I couldn't verify that Panasonic used this type of wiring. I'm also glad you brought up the WAGO 221 wire connectors (it's actually pronounced "Vah-GO" 😁😉 - I still catch myself saying Wah-go though). I find these far superior to the wire nuts that many electricians opt to use in the States. Quick question though. I noticed that you used 12 ga wire (7:25), but 14 ga wiring was run to the original fan (2:55). Does this fan require a 20 amp circuit or was voltage drop a concern?

Nice video but I can not tell where he attached the actual power source (not on the table)... also, simply a 2x4 atop the drywall so that the exhaust box can securely attach to it... will it last ? Worried about support only provided by the drywall.

Can you install an exhaust fan into a bathroom that doesn’t have one by using the method used in the video on how to wire a single pole light switch into a two pole light switch?

wait. the outlet with the j-box won't fit flush with the housing if you installed it like that. The way you showed it, you installed the black housing part and it was BELOW the drywall. The only way to attach the air outlet and the jbox is to have it ABOVE the drywall in the attic. But then it won't match up properly, the bottom of it will be about 1 inch higher because it is on the other side of the drywall. I just installed another Panasonic model and had this problem. Also you don't need vapour barrier?
