What’s included

- Connect wiring to switch circuit

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 Columbia — 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 Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
