I like my noisy units since they cover the strange noise coming from the toilet area during evacuation.
😂
Exactly!!!!!
I need a louder one cuz our bathrooms in the middle of the house and I be laying down in there
LOL!
Next: noise cancelling toilet bowl 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very good video. Most DYI videos go through the process and act like it's nothing to install. This gentleman showed problems and how he overcame them. Thank you for a realist install.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Except they're not YOUR problems.
@@shouse94 but maybe will be in the future, let’s say u move to a new house or invest in other properties. Most the time extra info is beneficial .
Keep in mind that a quiet fan may not be ideal for example in a guest bathroom off a kitchen where others might gather. Loud fans drown out offensive noises.
Yes it’s not for the faint hearted 😂
Turn on the sink faucet to hide your noises.
That’s why you stream music on your phone, it’s drowns out the “butt trumpet”
This is why Japanese toilets have music buttons
Try this using your speakerphone Lol 😂

It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGjG43--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...
Looks clean! Crazy how switching out your bathroom fan gives it a whole new look!
super quiet fan means all your bathroom noises are clearly audible. I put in noisy bathroom fans so no one has to hear anyone else's grunts and farting noises. Think long and hard before you install a quiet fan!
Thanks for your video! I like that you explain each step and show it, so viewers know what they need to do or don’t . This is good for homeowners that want to DIY if they can’t afford to pay someone and have some knowledge of every detail before they get to it, also don’t do if they can’t, better pay someone to do it.
I will check your other videos
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
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.
Nice bro! I like my vent loud it covers up the sound when I’m dropping down the business haha
Lol, all them farts and sharts lol 😂
@@FixThisHouse hahaha
Yeah its loud inside. But behind the door everyhing inside sounds about the same volume, im afraid your business might still be heard.
To test this. Play a song or video on your phone and put it inside and turn your fan on. Then see how different everything sounds inside and out. Youll get a better idea
Real talk….
Literally only clicked on the vid to see if someone commented this
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.
I'm so glad to see you still using the outside vent. You have no idea how many people just let it vent into the attic.
Good job!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Why does it matter??? Serious question I don’t know. Mine are vented into the attic
So moisture doesn’t accumulate in the attic. Vent outside
@@devinwalley2823 You venting damp air into the attic witch will cause mold. That fluffy insulation stuff loves to mold in humid environments. You ever wonder why your attic has "that smell"? That's why! It's actually considered a health hazard witch is why it's not up to code.
@@devinwalley2823 It's actually not up to code. The contractor who installed it screwed you over. He didn't want to spend a few hours creating an exterior vent.
This was a great “how to video”, really appreciate it. Easy to follow I will be looking for more videos thank you.
(Thanx for no big”Special effects” intro) getting tired of seeing them in other channels.
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

How do you know he isn't venting it off to the side?
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.
I used Broan humidity sensing variable speed fans. They require 6" ducting for 120 CFM and the
Increasing your homes ACH (air changes per hour) isn't always a great idea. You are bringing in outside air which must be conditioned and also depending on where your house is pulling in air, can lead to increases in dust.
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.
Happy to see you use the Wago.
Love the Wagos hehe
I like those wire connections, great idea
This is a very nice video but the procedure has one major error.
The exhaust/vent housing should have the duct and wiring attached first, then secured into place. The fan housing then slides into the exhaust housing flanges and ceiling cutout with final securing. The fan quick plug is then used for electrical connection between the exhaust and fan motor. There should normally be no need to enter the space above.
I was thinking the same thing. He skipped over the install of the box too. I've never needed to go in the attic for a simple swap of the fan. It can all be done from below.
Hola amigo excelente idea pero sobre todo muy buen trabajo el que realisas saludos
Great video. I'm shopping around for a new bathroom fan, and I see that these Panasonic fans are more complicated to install than the other brands.
Great video. A little tip, use wide masking tape while marking the lines and a shop vac for the dry wall cutting.
Thank you so much for the tip! 🙏🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse I appreciate your knowledge and humbleness, subscribed .
You make the install look easy and very helpful!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Instructions were nice and clear for a beginner, thank you.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
If you vacuum out the fan every six months or so they run forever. If you cleaned the old motor out and put a few drops of oil in the bearings/bushings it would probably still be fine. Easy to take the motor apart.
I like this option better. I'll await your how to video.
Very nice video , very Interesting step by step , I live in a old apartment which it doesn't have that convince 😂😂😂😂
But never the less , good to know how to do things like that.
Interesting upgrade to say the least. I like it. Thank you and well done.👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏽!
When I retrofit them I demo the old one like he did and cut out the new square. Then I make two notches in the corners of one end turn the fans housing vertical(after also taking off the venting collar) and slide it into the attic square it up and drive the self tappers through the drywall into the fins that he put on that face of the drywall. No blocking needed.
I don't even know why I'm watching this when I don't even need this 😂
Great video man! When you show the Wago connectors next time, you should display the strip gauge they have on the side of each Wago. That way it’s got a proper connection
