What’s included
- Remove existing exhaust fan or fan-light combo
- Install new fan unit into existing ceiling housing or reframe for new housing
- Connect wiring to switch circuit
- Verify and re-seal duct connection to prevent attic moisture problems
- Install decorative grille cover

How it works
Remove the old fan
We cut power, pull the grille and motor, disconnect wiring, and inspect the duct connection before the new unit goes in.
Install and wire the new fan
We set the new housing into the ceiling opening, secure it to the joist, connect the wiring, and re-seal the duct transition.
Test and confirm
We restore power, run the fan to check the CFM performance, listen for excessive noise, and install the grille cover.
Problems we fix
- Duct disconnected in the attic, blowing humid air directly onto insulation instead of outside
- Undersized fan — old unit rated for 50 CFM where 110 CFM is now required
- Wiring connected directly to the fixture without a junction box, a code violation
- Grilles covered in lint that choke airflow and make the motor work harder
Exhaust Fan Replacement in Charleston — FAQ
What CFM rating do I need for my bathroom?
The general guideline is 1 CFM per square foot of bathroom floor area. A 60 sq ft bathroom needs at least a 60 CFM fan; most pros recommend 10–20% above the minimum.
Can you install a fan-light combo?
Yes — we install fan-only, fan-light, and fan-light-night-light combos. Just tell us what you want and we'll confirm the existing wiring supports it.
My bathroom exhaust fan leads to a flex duct in the attic — is that a problem?
Only if it's disconnected or improperly terminated. We check that the flex duct runs to the soffit or roof cap and is properly sealed at both ends.
Exhaust Fan Replacement across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
