Bathroom exhaust fans?

Our house doesn't have them.  We'd like to have them put in.  How complicated is it?  It seems like something that would be pretty difficult.

Re: Bathroom exhaust fans?

  • My DH installed one in our home. He is an electrician so the elctrcial part was easy for him. The part he did not like was crawling into the attic to connect the vent to the exterior of the home.

    It is not for novice DIYers (depends on the location of the bathroom)

  • We're definitely novice DIYers.  Any ideas how much it might cost to have someone do it for us?

  • Need more info...

    Are the bathrooms on exterior walls?  What is your exterior made of?  Are they on the top level of your house?  Is there an accessible attic above?  How old is your home?  Are you looking to hire this out?

    Yes exterior walls.  Yes top level.  Yes accessible attic (crawl space sized, but you could definitely get up there).  Home is 12 years old.  Would likely hire out.

  • We are paying $400 to have one installed by an electrician in our basement bathroom.  However, there is no existing ductwork for it, so the price includes him adding that. 
  • Thanks nmoe.  That's about what we were thinking.
